O Little Town of BESHlehem: Population Waiting. We're no angels but we're being --really really-- mostly good...now give us what we want

Oh, and I should just say. Most often we stay in Premier Inns, but occasionally we like something more expensive and a bit different. Generally though the PI's do the job!

We stayed at this bed and breakfast on the way home from a festival. We found it through the Alistair Sawdays site. Gorgeous and cost us about £85 which was more than we would usually pay but it was so worth it. The place just had one double bedroom which looked out over the farmhouse garden and breakfast was to die for. I don't think all the places listed in Sawdays are extortionate but they tend to be absolutely gorgeous!

In other news. I have eaten loads today. Massive pork roast dinner followed by delicious homemade rice pudding. Have just had a swift walk across the beach so I don't feel so guilty!

Mmm that salad sounds good. I am craving junk food at the moment. Back on healthy eating tomorrow.
We have smart phones and a pc so I'm not convinced we really need a tablet/netbook/laptop. But I want one...

New ESH must complete beshionaire too.
Ah we're not posh either. Posh hotel wad paid for by wealthy grandfather many years back. And it was a relatively cheap honeymoon especially compared to ny friend who had three months travelling finishing in Maldives Our second honeymoon will be in the Maldives probably our 25th wedding anniversary!
I left the house! Went to a retail park to debate about tablets/laptops/ipads decisions. I refused to part with hard earned cash. Any thoughts?

Dor missed your post. Will look when I get in. Thanks, not heard of that site!

Bugs really not posh, just work in the hotel / events industry so know lots of good websites for deals etc. premier inn's are fine by me but not really conducive to a relaxing weekend to compensate for being a barren.

Mr&Mrs Smith is a 'club' website that does great deals on luffly adult / couple / posh hotels.

Faith pub recommendations always welcome. I'll PM you when we've booked it.

Rie a promise of bigger boobs?! Am off right now to find Fred!

Boo love your summing up of BESH btw

Am I the only tenant BESH? I too am well poor, AuntieD

(though this may be because we are paying out £1000 in loan repayments per month. Sigh. Some day that will end. Some day.....)

I've not been to one of the Mr & Mrs Smith places but try Alistair Sawdays. We stayed in a lovely place from that website. Gorgeous

Sunny! Sunny! Sunny! Have you seen the boobs thread? It turns out I might have a "bigger" bra size that I thought! One poster is suggesting I might need a 28D! . Go there immediately. You will get bigger boobs, I promise!

I've read the quiche thing but I find it all bit mystifying. It's not like anyone is ever not 'allowed' (How would you police that anyway?) in, but it is a 30 plus ttc thread for those who have been ttc wih some degree of difficulty and don't go in for 'twee'. Apart from that there are no rules are there?

We had 6 nights in a cottage in the Lakes for our honeymoon and wanted one night in a posh hotel - Aphrodite was top of my list but they didn't have any vacancies :( I think they had a chocolate room?! Gorgeous area which will have stuff to do - boat trips, aquatarium, train rides etc. I can recommend some great pubs in the area - we go every year!
What is this Mr&MrsSmith you speak of?

Thanks for suggestions BESH.

Faith am loving the look of the Aphrodite - rooms with private hot tubs? Hell yes!

I figure if we can't afford hot & sunny then we'd be better off staying in the UK and going somewhere remote. Truffers I love Whatley, did an event there a couple of years ago & have always wanted to go back. Did you go the weekend you found out you were diffed?

Is anyone a Mr&Mrs Smith website member? Is it work paying the £20 to join to get good discounts?

Going to my mum's today for Sunday lunch. Can not wait to stuff my face

Were you thinking UK sunny? Lakes would be nice that time of year. Lakes is nice all times of year!
I've stayed here several times. Always lovely and has a spa attached.
There are a couple of cool hotels in the area too, this place looks brilliant.

sunny we went to Budapest last year in the autumn for 4 nights and it was ace! Booked it through last minute and it was really cheap. No euro there either so spending money not ridiculous. We had an amazing time. Don't know if it might be too cold in December though. Depends on how much you like winter!

Sorry people are not feeling great, happy to oblige with nekkid jelly wrestling if anyone fancies a distraction.

I have no idea what the quiche thing is trying to achieve either.

I can highly recommend Whatley Manor for spa and good food weekend. Is quite spendy but probably the most indulgent weekend I've ever had.

We have been out since 2pm and TGB is drunk as a skunk, along with my brother. They are quite funny to a point but now I'm finding it a bit bothersome and may take myself off to bed. I can't wait to be the drunk one when he needs to stay sober

I've been looking at some lovely spa hotels. I'm going to see if I can hunt down a deal next week!

I'd highly recommend Venice, but not in the depths of winter! We went a few years ago in mid-September and it was fabulous.

What about a posh spa weekend or similar at one of these "adults only" hotels in the UK? I've always thought they sound like fun.

Anywhere Cave! I just think SSG & I need a break away from all the shit that's going on with his work and a break from 2 years of trying to win a baybee. We have the week before Christmas off so was looking for a 5 night deal then. But we offered to have everyone over for Christmas day. Which I'm beginning to regret. All suggestions welcome...

Where you thinking of going on hols Sunny?

No offence Bugs or anyone else by the way.

Agree with Rie but if there was to be any representing of ESH shouldn't it be one of the originals?

Have been hunting for a holiday. Too many decisions to make. Have given up & come to bed.
