Wedding anniversary - nice hotel in south east please

[desperatehousewife]

Everything I have looked at on the internet is either too far away, fully booked or too expensive (ie: £160+ per night).

Looking for 2 nights (weekend) beginning of September, don't want to drive too far to get there.

Anyone know of any good websites for romantic getaways or classy boutique type hotels. (Babington House would be my ideal but it's £250 per night!!)

Thanks

Hello DHW will get my thinking cap on later and get back to you. I would love to get married at BH but the cost is OTT

[bossykate]

what is your budget, dhw?

[SoupDragon]

Where rae you and how far do you want to travel?

[desperatehousewife]

To be honest, if I'm realising that to get anything close to what I want I'm going to have to pay Hotel Du Vin prices (£100-130 per night). but all the Hotel du Vins are fully booked !

[desperatehousewife]

Soupy I'm on South Coast, don't want to travel more than a couple of hours - not too far (and definately not london)

[RTKangaMummy]

What about ashdown forest?

[FrenchGirl]

have you looked at the Onion Store?

[desperatehousewife]

Kanga - Ashdown is £165 per night - too much!

[FrenchGirl]

It's lovely from what I've heard....

[RTKangaMummy]

here is the website



Haven't been there but have been to GRAND in EASTBOURNE for dinner and beauty days etc.

[desperatehousewife]

French girl - looks really nice, but it's self catering and I don't want to have to lift a finger! Want a hotel.

[RTKangaMummy]

Sorry too slow to post

[FrenchGirl]

fair enough...
how about somewhere a bit special in Bath

[desperatehousewife]

Frenchgirl - it really does look lovely - just phoned, totally booked - even booked for most weekends next year!!!!!!!!!!! I don't stand a chance of getting anywhere. Looks like I'll be camping!

[desperatehousewife]

Bath hotel is £250 per night.....anyway my nan lives in Bath and don't want to bump into her!
