Place to take Elise tomorrow. (And take wife)

[shedbuilder]

Hi PistonHeads,

I'm a Newbie and at a bit of a quandary, Wifes birthday on Tuesday, have free weekend, Have Elise, weather ok for tomorrow.

Want to take wife somewhere and scare her silly on the way and stay overnight & scare her silly on the way back.

I live in Preston and must be within 6 hours.
Criteria:
Must have good route. Quieter the better
Must have nice hotel at the end of it with Bath for 2 and be near a chippy.
Must be able to park my Elise without worry of anything

Not going to cost us a packet, fuel and crisps will eat most of the budget.

Eurotunnel £98 - Bit too expensive, would need loads of crisps.

You sure know how to treat the good lady my friend lol!

Seriously though, why not try heading up into the Lake District for a quiet, safe, scenic drive with plenty of lovely placed to stay in idyllic locations.

Just a thought

Lake District is the fall back, been there many times, last time a Citroen C5 decided to try and reverse over us! Was thinking further north ending up in a nice B&B!

I was going to suggest The Lakes, The Lodore in Borrowdale is great, I took the Elise there recently...good parking.

What about Northumbria, around Berwick?

Why not come along to Cars in the Park (CITP), search the other threads about it, but over 200+ other cars getting together down Leeds way (ish). Nice country park to browse to keep the lady happy, and nice motors to browser to keep you happy. Seems like decent country roads around the area so run out there and back should be fun.
