family friendly self catering within 2 hours or so of Leeds/Bradford

Hi all
I'm looking for suggestions where to go in mid July with DH, DD (4) and DS (1.5). I don't really want to drive for hours and hours.

We'd like to rent a cottage or similar which is child friendly with either lots of activities (beach/park/swings/anything really) or lots of other children, and where we can chill out too. So I guess somewhere that offers babysitting and is nearish to maybe a nice pub that does food.

A friend told me of something similar in Sussex, but that seems like a long drive w DC.

thanks
