Need somewhere with DP to just go and, you know, have a sit down, and a cup of tea, and a bath without children in it, and wonderful food that I don't have to make, and the chance to put on nice clothes without thinking, no point, just going to get Ribena on it. We are cream crackered, and will only get more so. Suggestions warmly invited.
Got to be rural and scenic. Coast or moors would be nice for bracing walks. Will be for a long long weekend (VERY kind person has offered to have our twins for 5 days in May). I'll have to do a bit of work, so a big room with a desk, or the sort of country hotel that would have a quiet lounge/library.
Most importantly it has to do black pudding, kippers, tomatoes and a mean poached egg for breakfast, and have a really big squidgy leather armchair in front of a fire 
.
I've been pouring through Sawdays and current faves are Plas Bodgroes in Wales or Traddock near Settle in the Dales. Anything else? Want it only to be 2 hours drive so North Wales/Lancs/Lakes/Yorks/Northumberland at a push. DP wants somewhere with a gym/pool but I can persuade him just to climb a mountain instead if necessary...
