Browncoffee Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Husband and I are considering a last-minute holiday for the bank holiday weekend and would appreciate any recommendations. It'll be our first holiday without our little girl (who'll be enjoying her time with the grandparents) so really after the following: - lots of relaxation (heated indoor swimming pool, sauna etc) - lie-ins (can't even remember what those were like but know I desperately need them again) - a spa - lots of lovely meals - easy reach from London (no more than an hour drive or train ride) Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated by a very sleep-deprived mother:o) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17498-needed-recommendations-for-uk-weekend-break/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

alieh Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 We went to Charlton House in Somerset on a special package and thought it was very good value. The spa is amazing!! The food was decent and the building itself is lovely. We had planned to go as a couple but had to reschedule and take our son, and even with him we had a lovely time and they were so accommodating of him.

BB100 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 There are some special offers with the SunDial group. At their Highgate House they are doing ?60 per room with breakfast and dinner this weekend. It may sound cheap but this is a special deal and they don't advertise their special offers other than on their website and you have to search for it. I have been a couple of times before and really enjoyed it. The food has always been top restaurant quality, the rooms are very clean and is a beautiful place to relax. http://www.sundialgroup.com/woodside Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17498-needed-recommendations-for-uk-weekend-break/#findComment-439852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
