Ideas for a UK weekend break

OpenToSuggestions · 4 Dec 2015 at 21:28

Hey all.
I like in Stoke On Trent and I am trying to plan a weekend away for me and the girlfriend.

So far we have done:
- Day out in Llandudno.
- Lake Keswick (Lake District) in a B&B. Very nice. 1 night.
- Easton (Summerset) in a lovely wooden lodge. Was down there to visit her Dad, see the Wells carnival and visit Cheddar.

I am willing to pay up to £100 per night if the place is good and ideally want the travel time to be <2 hours each way.

I am totally new to this 'weekend away' malarky, but will keep it UK based for now.

Also as this is GD, I have already asked a checkout girl out, took a poo through my own letterbox, smashed a pasty, shaved with mustard and took out a 20% APR car loan over 7 years.

Have you declared your shop status or the time length to get a weapon though?

Is there anything in particular you have in mind or any suggestions at that price and distance?

She has suggested York

I had forgotton those! Just post some Syria war crap I know little about on my Facebook just to make sure I made up for that.

York is lovely but accommodation is very expensive and you can see the city in a single day. Consider staying in Leeds and doing a day trip to York, you will get a better hotel for the money and tick off two cities rather than one.

Try marmaduke house hotel I stayed once a while ago and it was very nice. Think they've been taken over since I was there though.

About£70 a night I think was very nice.

Wasn't a huge amount to do in the area but if you're driving that's not really an issue.

How about Chester? Not too far away but its a nice drive. Some brilliant restaurants there, Upstairs at the Grill is my personal favourite. Theres a nice spa called the club and spa if thats your sort of thing, plus the zoo. To be fair Chester is just a lovely place

That's what she said.

Lake District is always nice, weather permitting.

Freezing cold, Torrential rain, floods, gale force winds , black sky..... just your average day up here

If youre looking fun activities etc pop over to centre parcs in sherwood forest.

or If you want a chill weekend go Lake district, never been myself but I've only heard great things.

Or go for a nice spa weekend.
