Dh has suggested I have a night or two all to myself, tomorrow and Sat, where shall I go? I want solitude and FANTASTIC room service!

A 5 star hotel preferably. Can't be more than 2 ish hrs from London (I'm 40 mins to an hour from London)

My perfect place has a beach right outside the window but it's not essential, just highly desirable
Must have fab room service
Don't care about spas, I don't want a massage
I would quite like a bookshop nearby
I would like peace so they must have quiet ish rooms or good double glazing
Must have good service
Don't want to leave the country

Budget more or less irrelevant, don't mind spending some money (but no a penthouse, it's only me!)

All ideas welcome, thanks. Have Laterooms open in another window!

No suggestions, but can I just say I am spitting with jealousy. Have a lovely time, I'm sure you deserve it!

No idea where you should go but I am SERIOUSLY jealous! Have a fabulous time

Oooh that sounds terrific.
I have been planing something similar but along the lines of a whole week.

Isn't there a lovely new Malmaison or Hotel du Vin in Oxford??

Hmm Oxford is possible. It's not too far. And I could get there by train and browse bookshops and loll about reading. And sleeping.

What? He doesn't want to get rid of me, I've had a tough couple of months and he thought I'd like it. Which I would.

No, had lunch at The Lugger with dh and children and it would be perfect if he were coming with me and we had longer than 2 nights...it's very cliff edge windswept, v romantic. But thanks, it's in my book too!

Hotel du VIn in Brighton is supposed to be lovely. In fact there are lots of posh hotels in Brighton, have read about Drakes too.
