Recommend a UK weekend break?

[camgear]

Seeing as it's the bank holiday next weekend, me and the missus are trying to look for somewhere to stay over the weekend, the lakes doesn't really appeal as it's going to be rammed over the weekend.

Not really looking to do anything specific, just a bit of countryside and some nice pubs we've been to Lancaster and York, so somewhere like that'd be great We'll be driving, distance isnt too much of a problem as we're quite central in the UK (Liverpool)

Cheers!

Isle of Man?

North Wales
Derbyshire (Peak District)
or further afield - Bath

-Isle of Man?

Afraid not, unless you can swim there (She gets really travel sick)

I didn't think of around Yorkshire/Peaks, will take a look into that, cheers! (Now to find a hotel that isnt amazingly expensive! Haha)

Bank Holiday + Nice Place = Rammed

Thanks guys ( Hi cqueen - BCF? )

Will have a look, think we're staying for 2 days so they're within budget! (We're neither posh or rich )

New Forest? WOuld be quite a trek for you though.

I only suggest it as we're heading down there at the end of the month to stay in brockenhurst

Scotland - it's not a bank holiday up here so should be easier getting accomodation at decent rates. The Festival is on in Edinburgh which means it will be a bit harder to get somewhere to stay but does mean there's lots to see and do, you could always stay near the city.

...and you can get a nice FPN in the post after you arrive home as a momento of your visit to N. Wales. No thanks.

I'd agree with going to Scotland. I can recommend this place:

Near St Andrews and not that far from Edinburgh.

Hi guys, thanks for all of your help, I think it's going to be Bath as we both like the sound of the Thermae Spa (www.thermaebathspa.com)

Having a look for a hotel ~£100 per night now with not much luck!

Cheers again

Central, near the Spa - www.haringtonshotel.co.uk
Royal Crescent Hotel is the classic one too.
