Dh and I have a rare few days without dc in October and have no idea where we could go - so looking for ideas. We like walking around cities, nice food and a bit of sightseeing - castles, catherderals etc and some time to relax. Dh travels a lot for work and stays in hotels a lot, so hotel (would consider luxury b and b) must be lovely (not necassarily expensive but not chain hotel type). Very rare to get time away so prepared to push boat out on budget a bit. Give me your best suggestions - thanks!

Whereabouts do you live and how far would you be willing to travel? There are loads of lovely places in North Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.

Good question. We are south-east (right on the coast). So we would consider going as far as Yorkshire / Lake District but would have to be perfect place to visit

Thanks, been to Bath / Bristol and Edinburgh few times. I was thinking York might be a good idea.
@chocolatesaltyballs22 Please do make some suggestions. Dh likes driving and without arguing dc I think a long journey might be quite enjoyable!

Ok..... How about Rudding Park on the outskirts of Harrogate. Or Helmsley in N Yorks - Black Swan or Feversham Arms. Lovely village with lots of pubs.

Personally if I had 4 nights without kids I'd hop on a flight to Malaga and soak up some sunshine & tapas but I don't think that's what you're looking for!

Thanks. They all sound good suggestions. I am tempted by the sun but trying not fly unless I can help it!
