UK weekend holidays

Me and the GF have both got from Wednesday evening (9th) till Saturday (12th) off and are looking to do a little trip away.

Googling isn't really giving me anything positive, were both Liverpool based.

Any suggestions? Budget of around £500.

Willing to travel how far?
City or seaside?

Within 5-6hrs by train / coach. Either.

London, especially when weather isn't so nice. Love the place for short brakes. Great public transport and so much to do and see.

I was in London a few weeks back and it's just far to expensive, I don't think £500 would cover the costs.

£500? Go abroad!

Time restrictions, back in work Sunday and were currently lacking transport.

Anyone know of better websites for travel than Megabus?

Oi!

Bristol has a great music scene(everything from metal->ska->pop->DnB), a nice free museum, good shopping and is cheap. Few natural beauty spots (eg clifton suspension bridge), and lots of history to explore too.

Or hit Falmouth for a quieter holiday, it's very pretty and there are cool boat tours, but they're better when it's warm!

Considering the coach to London Thursday morning then traveling back Saturday afternoon. Around £50 for travel then £160 for accom. Leaves us £290 for 2 days survival.
