Luxury hotel in Northern England.

[raf_gti]

Myself and SWMBO are planning a very quick, one night getaway for next weekend, most likely to Yorkshire as it is not too far a drive from Lincs.

Criteria is fantastic food, luxurious accomodation, nice Spa type facilities and not overly 'arsey'.

We had hoped to stay at the Feversham Arms in Helmsley but unfortunately we missed out due to them filling up in the space of a morning!

Been here a couple of times. 'Tis rather nice, but getting a tad pricey now since it got the spa done.

Try the Crab and Lobster

Has good food, good quirky accommodation, lacking in Spa but several rooms have Hottubs....

if Spa is important....

Rockcliffe Hall (new set up and a write in the Sunday Times said room choice was important)

Or Seaham Hall

or Slaley Hall.

That's what I immediately thought of, then I noticed the OP meant the Midlands!

Yorke Arms at Ramsgill

Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey

Hotel du Vin in Harrogate is pretty damn good too - well worth a visit just to sit in the bath and enjoy the view over the Stray.

Right in the Troph of Bowland , not far from Yorkshire really . Nice place set in stunning countryside

Devonshire arms or the Crab and Lobster were my first thoughts as all ready suggested.

[Planet Claire]

How about Swinton Park?

[raf_gti]

Excellent suggestions

So far the Devonshire Arms is looking favourite, hopefully they will still have vacancies for next weekend!

Would you recommend the Travel Lodge or Premier Inn?

I also thought of this place. I've never stayed there but heard great things and will try it sooner or later.

You need to book a lifetime in advance!

This place is nice. Went there May last year. Fair old trek from down south. I think it had just been revamped and was in the process of being sold then.

I loved my stay at Wood Hall Hotel

Highly recommended, and check for deals on the main page of the Hand Picked website and you can grab a bargain

I live in Hlemsley - Try the Black Swan in Helmsley and use the Fev spa - you can book it without being a resident. Food wise I wouldn't eat in either, I'd go to the Star Inn at Harome - 2 minute drive. The food is better - if very rich. You do need to book in advance though as there is a waiting list.

Oulton Hall. Lovely De Vere just past Hudds. Thoroughly recommend it and De Vere are doing some great deals at the moment.
