I have been given a brief to "Arrange New Year". Our normal MO is to go away and stay in a nice hotel where we don't have to do more than crawl from blow-out meal to detox-unfriendly drinks to the next indulgence; all the while knowing the girls are safe and welcome to be there. Last year was an exception - we went to Paris and partied with friends - but this year I need to think up something winning.

So the requirements are:
- Hotel with CHILD FRIENDLY NEW YEARS PROGRAM. 100% requirement; cannot be ignored.
- UK based. We have to stay here due to being on call.
- Calm ambiance and a bit posh. Examples are Tortworth Court[^] and The Newton[^].
- Plenty of trips to take in the area. We did Snowdonia one year; Scotland was fun.
- Things like a health spa, pool or golf course would not go amiss.

So hive mind, any ideas?
