Hi All.

I am looking to book a short break over christmas-including christmas day dinner etc, maybe 2-3 nights, staying in the uk.

I went to butlins last year, but food was horrible so dont want to go there again. Does anybody have any other suggestions?

I have been on internet ages and cant find anything suitable.

I have a budget of about £450 for 2 people.

Thanks

    The Lake district, a nice hotel, beautiful view, walks and food.

    I agree about the Lake District, gorgeous. Or what about Scotland?

    what about the pudding club - it's a bit more than you want to pay (£530 for 3 nights for 2 of you) but is it lovely

    Looks great, but the £530 is per person not for 2 (as I read it)

    my friends are going for 4 nights and they said it was something like £650 for the two of them - just check the website and it definately says per person - I had better inform my friend as she maybe in for a bit of a shock

    sorry for any confussion
