This looks nice, but never been there, right in the New Forest:
www.careysmanor.co.uk/
www.senspa.uk.com/site.html (website doesnt work very well)

Or Chewton Glen, another spa hotel in the New Forest.
www.chewtonglen.com/
Been there for a day and loved it.

Really nice area, lots of places to go etc. One and a half hours drive from SW London.

Take the tunnel to France? Not that expensive and certainly different.

Hmmmm, a sunny Saturday morning on a bank holiday weekend

I think you'll need more than three hours just to get out of London...

What sort of money are you thinking of spending?.

I once stayed at a very nice 4 star hotel in Winchester, which overlooked the cathedral.

Once spent four days at Chewton Glen on a business "retreat". Sumptuous doesn't do it justice. My room was so big I couldn't watch the TV from in bed without binoculars.
