planning our 2nd wedding anniversary (has to be special - forgot our 1st one ). any suggestions for a posh hotel somewhere in south east - 1 hour drive from london? baby free, spa for her (me - that is), peace & quiet for him?

i would appreciate any suggestions...

Whatley Manor is lovely but more like 2 hours from London. No kids under 12!

The Grove?

Charlotte St or One Aldwych
have been to latter (search on my name to get review) not former

Friend told me recently she found Grove a bit soulless

just had a look at the grove site - it does look MASSIVE! lovely spa though...

one aldwych looks nice too, but i think we quite like to get out of london, just for a night...

Vineyard at stockcross is nice too.

Babington?

Babington - lovely but too many unruly children for my liking.

kuta · 27/08/2008 10:29

looks lovely too. no spa though

What about Champneys?

They do residential packages which include treatments etc or i think you can pay accom then choose and arrange treatments etc.

Its the ultimate pamper weekend.

oh, and my present was tickets to dirty dancing musical. can't wait!it's a great sucrifice on his part, bless him. i dragged him out to see mama mia film few weeks ago. he suffered all the way through. i loved it!
