Romantic Breaks - Hotel suggestions

[Tillysmummy]

Has anyone got any good suggestions for a nice weekend away ? Dh is going to take me away for my birthday and we want to go somewhere special. A hotel with lots of character would be good and one with a health spa facilities would be great. We don't want to spend loads and loads though so if it is just a lovely hotel but no spa then we'll just have to make do. The restaurant is very important to us.

Any recommendations gratefully received. Dd will be staying with mum so it doesn't need to be child friendly.

We live in Radlett in Hertfordshire so really dont want it to be too far away as it's only for one night. Maybe somewhere in Oxford / The Cotswolds / Suffolk / Norfolk / Sussex etc ?

or if you really want to splash out, you could try The Lygon Arms in the cotswolds, should be reachable in a couple of hours on the M4 (?) again it's somewhere i keep reading about, rather than actually having been there myself!

hi fionn, what about Hotel du Vin Brighton? someone recommended this on another thread, and while i haven't yet been (suggested it to dh only yesterday, as a matter of fact) it looks good and has had some good press. good food on site, plus lots of easy strolling by the sea or in the lanes etc.

have a great time whatever you decide!

how did that happen?

Another vote for the Spreadeagle - has everything you're looking for. Must go back there soon.

Thanks everyone - U'm going to look them all up on the internet.
