4parajon Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Give us a budget to work to then and we can advise accordingly
antz Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 erm.....i dont have abudget really shall we say £200 for accomodation? england or uk...not fussed
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 I hear Scarborough is nice this time of year... Seriously, have a weekend in London. We went in April and you can get train tickets for £20 if you book it with accommodation. I can't remember which company we booked it though. I'll find out the details for you.
antz Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 yes please mike! change of plan....im thinking about £150 PER PERSON for accomodation and travelling. can anyone help me? ive got until the end of january to get it booked and stuff!
4parajon Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Depends what you and your lady like doing mate. London is good, I enjoyed it when I went, took in all the big sites I know a nice pub that does accomadation in a very, very remote part of Cumbria if you fancied a winter getaway with log fires, bit of climbing etc for under your budget if you fancy that
mk1mexico Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Cheap caravan 250 quid.... ..towbar for the terror 50
antz Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 dont need a towbar cos the drift tank volvo has the biggest one ever! i think its made from scaffolding how far is cumbria from coventry?
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 Antz, we used www.superbreak.co.uk Have a look, you'll get loads of ideas.
james p Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 me and my lady friend booked a cottage on the iow for a week £200 as its out of season till april great fun and 5 times the room of a hotel
Pipster007 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Edinburgh is a great city to visit. I went for New Year a couple of years ago
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Cheap caravan 250 quid.... ..towbar for the terror 50 FPMSL The look on yer birds face..... Priceless! BTW, I like the sound of Jon's idea... Cumbria. Log fires, remote location... lot's of 'alone' time, if you know what I mean, eh, eh, know what I mean
one-day Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Poland is nice this time of year Krakow will do it for her and its dirt cheap get a cheap flight and u will be quids in on accommodation and vodka at something like 50p a shot well say no more
Burns Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Antz, we used www.superbreak.co.uk Have a look, you'll get loads of ideas. superbreak are a bunch of theiving gits, from working in hotels, i know that about 40% of what they charge you for accommodation is comission (we used to sell them rooms for 50 quid, they sold them for 80 to customers) just phone the hotel before you book with them is my advice
Admin Mk2Jo Posted October 11, 2007 Admin Report Posted October 11, 2007 Antz ... Ian and I went to a lovely B&B in Chesterfield over the August bank holiday, the owners were really lovely and the rooms were spotless and comfy. Think we paid about £25 per person per night and you get a huuuuuge brekky in the morning: http://www.anislouiseguesthouse.co.uk/ Close to here: http://www.heightsofabraham.com/ It's walking distance to the town centre for the shops, market, lovely park area, nice restaurants and pubs (lovely chinese/thai restaurant 2 mins walk) and only about 20 mins from Matlock Bath which is really nice and on the very edge of the Peak District (Buxton etc) also close to Chatsworth House if you like historic places
Admin Mk2Jo Posted October 11, 2007 Admin Report Posted October 11, 2007 We also went here earlier in the year in South Wales, not far from Caerphilly. http://www.wernganol.co.uk/ Again, a lovely guesthouse, really friendly owners, spotless rooms and big brekkie It's on the edge of the Brecon Beacons which is very picturesque and about 1/2 hour in the car to the centre of Cardiff. Cardiff Bay has some lovely restaurants and pubs and is very up-market
