Does it have to be a city? Luxury hotel or small town/outdoor stuff?

Masham in N Yorkshire is nice, very mall, several great pubs, 2 wonderfull breweries.

lake district? Some nice boutique hotels there ( I like www.aphroditeslodge.co.uk/ ).

Stratford upon avon is nice too, so is Hay-on-wye (good pubs, bookshops and food).

Northumberland? Alnwick's a nice little place, lots to see in the area. Dumfries and Galloway? Pretty area of Scotland, largely ignored by tourists as slightly off the beaten track, not a huge drive from the south.

Lots of nice hotels in here wherever you decide, personally I would go to the Lake District for a couple of days.

I'm sure it is nice but quite a drive for weekend. I'm based in Derbyshire.

Alnwick then, 2:30 from Sheffield, so maybe another 40 minutes for you, easy.
