hi there.
any ideas for a 40s and just under girls weekend away. were not dead yet so no where boring. must be in uk, can fly or do trains. want night life (not 70s and 80s) and good food plus nice hotel pref with leisure facilities. am i asking to much

Cardiff?

Bristol?

London?

Manchester?

Edinburgh?

All big cities with night life, restaurants, shopping, culture and no doubt hotels with spa facilities

Or if you want something more low key, how about Bath?

Bath gets my vote.

I think the new spa thingy is open in Bath now - £20 for the day, might be worth looking at

I like Bath - went for a weekend with best mate while dh looked after children

This hotel is just outside the village I live in. Norwich is ranked 5th for shopping in the UK.

newcastle is very lively iin the evenings. The copthorne hotel has leisure facilities and is on the quayside which is positively jumping. The swallow hotel in Gosforth also has leisure facilities.
There are some good restaurants-the black door bistro has good food-as does cafe live on the quayside.

I've been to Edinburgh and Nottingham in the past 18 months on hen weekend and they were both excelllent, although Edinburgh was more expensive.

puff - Can you tell me how I can find out about the Spa thingy in Bath please? Me and 8 friends (40 somethings) are hoping to go for a weekend in October and none of us has been to Bath before.

sorry to hijack the thread btw

Park hotel Kenmare co kerry
fantastic pubs and restaurants in the village . you could fly to Cork or Kerry I think.

Cardiff - St David's Hotel & Spa
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Try laterooms for rates, then book the spa separately

Mum of3,they have a website I think.
Google Thermae Spa.

God that has been sooooo long in opening.I went to Bath three years ago at this time of year as they promised it would be ready then.

Bloody hell Puff,you're always off on sophisticated no kids allowed jaunts.

Thanks moondog - I'll try that site now.

Here's some info on Bath Spa:

It is about a trillion pounds over budget so it should be good!

Thanks everyone.

And we're paying for it WestCountryLass!!

Here's a nice hotel in Bath with all the facilities - tad pricey though !!

I know, it is shocking! I am in Bristol so have seen the many cock-ups and delays on the news, it is embarrassing!
