Just that. But not London, Brighton, Bristol, Exeter, Oxford or Cambridge 😬

Preferably within 3 hours of the midlands with interesting some things to see.

Asking here because MN is so good for holiday suggestions!

Peak District. Beautiful.

Bakewell. I got married there (as my username gives away) and it's so idyllic and beautiful.

Pieceofpurplesky · 16/08/2022 20:37

Chester. Beautiful city, walk the walls, walk by the river and through the park. Loads of cafes and bars.

User48751490 · 16/08/2022 20:38

York is so beautiful. Just like Edinburgh.

York is gorgeous or is Cumbria too far away little cosy pubs and what not.

poetryandwine · 16/08/2022 20:43

Bath, the Cotswolds. Def the Lake District but it is probably more than three hours.

Cloggyy · 16/08/2022 20:43

We stayed at the cavendish for our anniversary but the Devonshire is nice too.

HandbagsnGladrags · 16/08/2022 20:44

Stratford upon Avon is lovely.

Pluvia · 16/08/2022 20:44

Edinburgh is a lovely city for exploring. Possibly only three hours by rail.
Harrogate
Bath

ColmanFlamingo · 16/08/2022 20:45

Definitely The Cotswolds.

St Donats, Wales.

We have stayed a number of times at Hide. They have a shepherd hut, cabans (with good shower facilities) and a cabin. We spend our days walking the welsh coastal path, stopping off at pubs along the way. Even in winter the accommodation is cosy because you have a wood burner. They also have a masseuse that visits should you wish. No kids are allowed. Bliss.

oooh, please check out the Tawny Hotel. It’s amazing, the most romantic place.

Thefailinghousewife · 16/08/2022 21:15

The Tawny

Lake District! So many gorgeous and romantic places to eat and drink, lovely hotels, nice day trips, walks/swimming if that’s your thing, ice cream, log fires, and the most spectacular scenery. A real change of pace if you’re a town dweller.

Blueberrycreampie · 16/08/2022 21:17

How about Hampshire - somewhere like Lymington? You've also got the New Forest on your doorstep. We used to take our caravan to the NF and I absolutely loved it.

Hobbesmanc · 16/08/2022 21:25

Chester. Just voted most attractive city in the world apparently. Not sure about that but it does have the worlds best B and B according to trip advisor. And plenty to do and see. Great eating too. If you can't get in the B and B try the McDonald hotel. Or the Grosvenor lol. Love the Opera house for dinner. Book a roof top table.
