Prefer a few long weekends away rather than one two week break - otherwise get bored.
There are so many parts of the UK to enjoy for long weekends too - Cornwall, Dorset, Northumberland (which is particularly superb), the peak district, Devon, lake district, cotswolds.

If I was to have a long break (without family commitments) it would either be to see the tigers in India or to go back to Tibet.

They've missed a trick in not referring to mid Northumberland as 'Moaty Country' though.
Tour operators could make a fortune organising extreme hide and seek weekends.

As you know I managed to visit Rothbury on honeymoon. I am ridiculously proud of this.

If you manage a return visit, definitely try to fit in Cragside House.
The house itself is interesting, and the grounds are superb for getting lost walking around.
