Going away this weekend - don't care where - suggestions?

[jon-]

Me and the better half would like to go away this weekend. We would like something relaxing and potentially coastal.

Both being fairly young we're not sure where to go, and where advertises nice hotels that will let you stay just the one night (31st). I've checked out sites like mrandmrssmith.com but they either require a 2 night stay over the weekend, or are well above my price limit (around £150).

Checked out places like Devon, Cornwall, Cotswold on lastminute but they're all so uninspiring.

Does anyone here have a any favourite places. We just want nice scenery, somewhere nice to eat in the evening and a nice room (preferably with a bath)

Thanks

I hear Eden Lake is meant to be nice this time of year.

Northumberland - Alnwick / Seahouses perhaps? Some of the best beaches in the world, just shame about the water temp. Fantastic restaurants, great fish and chips, cracking roads.

If you could push it to £200 you could probably get in a Alias Hotel Seattle in Brighton.

Great place - very funky hotel - just right for younger couples like yourselves!
Right on the Marina
Great Bar + Restaurant
Great Rooms
Its own secure carpark

The only downside to that suggestion is that you have to go to Brighton.

Whats wrong with Brighton? Its a great hotel with great rooms and great bar... you dont have to see much of Brighton if you dont want too!

Okay forget it!...

Brighton is not the cool seaside town that I once thought it was!

If he'd said "I want to dress in bright clothes, pierce my nipples before getting ripped on Barcardi Breezers and poppers and buggered senseless in the public toilets by 3 George Michael fans", Brighton would have been a good suggestion.

You work for the Brighton Tourist Association dont you.

We're just jesting, it's a really good suggestion. Brighton doesn't quite have the same ring to it as The Cotswold or The Lake District though. The surrounding area is a bit bland, and I'm not after a thumping night out this time, just something relaxing

Actually just had a thought, the same group that own the Seattle in Brighton also own the Barcelona in Exeter:

or also the Kandinsky near me in Cheltenham... nice place to visit if the other half fancies a bit of shopping:

I often have meetings in the Kandinsky - also a very cool place with good bar and secure parking.

That looks brilliant, but they don't offer single night stays!
