Baby number 1 is 13 mths, baby 2 due in 10 weeks..... My parents have said they will have our daughter for a weekend so we can go away as a couple for a weekend before baby 2 arrives. Any recommendations of places to go / stay?


Wanting something relaxing but open to all suggestions :-)


Thankyou


Clare

Really depends on your budget but here are a few recommendations for some places in the U.K.

Bath- as it's a fantastic place with lots to see and it's easy to get to by train.

Babington House is a real treat.

These places are nice too that are in the Cotswolds...

Or either of these places as they are just over an hours drive from East Dulwich.

You could always do Paris or Barcelona but perhaps not the best if you want to relax.

Have fun!

The Old Granary Mill in Woodbridge, Suffolk and the Lamb in Burford near Oxford (we spent first night of our honeymoon there) are two of our favourite for characterful and quietly luxurious weekends away. One day we will return!

    • Agree with @Sue the Dog is awful-nice building awful food. We like The Rossendale and Watsons
    • There are so many variables. Good chefs can having bad nights, post-Brexit staff shortages, your dish might be brilliant, your friend might order something that's inedible. In the end I think the best option is just to go to the restaurant which has the best overall reviews. If all the reviews are bad then avoid, but even if all the reviews are good that's not a cast iron gaurantee. 
    • The trouble is that pub management and chefs are constantly changing, so what might be fantastic on one occasion  becomes terrible a short time later, and vice versa. Two of the worst pub lunches I've had locally were at the Dog in the village and the Plough, but both those were some time ago. We had an absolutely appalling Christmas lunch on Christmas Day at The Cherry Tree, which was also exorbitantly expensive, so unless their chef (I use the term loosely) has changed, I wouldn't advise eating there. The menu looked amazing. We thought we would treat ourselves. Never again 😭
    • If you've seen the original longer post then you'll know that you've taken that out of context. I don't charge but didn't feel I even needed to say that – you've made it sound like I do charge and that's why I deleted this part of the post saying I don't charge. When I read back what I'd written it sounded like I was defending myself against criticisms that hadn't even been made so i cut it out. And now you've made that kind of criticism anyway I should've left it in.  What do you mean "not charging people to read your reviews of their local restaurants."?  You make it sound like i'm sneaking into SE22 from somewhere else. I live here - they are reviews of my local restaurants!
