Weekend Away with the Mrs. (Need cheap ideas!)
« on: 16 July 2013, 10:54 »
Want to go away with Chelsea for the weekending beginning Friday next week, haven't booked anything right now. Just want a couple of ideas that are on the cheap side.

Nowhere abroad (unless really cheap lol).

It's not a special occasion, just somewhere to get away and relax.

Stratford upon Avon? Plenty of nice restaurants and b&bs. Edinburgh great history and plenty to do and a great drive if you fancy the trip.

Bottle of red. Spin her round on the spot a few times, and bobs your uncle, she'll think she's somewhere else.

Doesn't even have to be posh red.

HTH.

Voyage prive, or however it is spelt. Failing that just google last minute holidays... I know people who have had like 3/4 nights in a European city for £300. Perhaps not relaxing...but I guess you won't get that unless you plan to go away abroad.
