Due to my husband's new job we're a bit restricted as to when we can take joint holidays this year. We'll be going to the Isle of Man for the Ariel Owners Club Rally (they've said I'll be welcome with my GS 
) at the beginning of August and are looking to spend a few days somewhere nice between Heysham and Aberdeen on the way back. We're not very familiar with anywhere South of the Scottish Central Belt but have liked what we have seen of North Yorkshire and Northumberland when passing through.
Can anyone recommend somewhere in that general area? Ideally a small town or village that won't be too overrun at that time of year, a nice pub, good biking roads, nice accommodation (hotel or B&B as I suspect self-catering will mostly be Sat-Sat only).
Many thanks for any suggestions!

P.S. Will be posting similar in the Scotland section as Southern Scotland is also a possibility.
