Wanting to book A romantic weekend break where can we go?

rinroo

I only got married recently and we didn't have a honeymoon due to various reason's the biggest one being work commitments.

My hubby and I have got a rare weekend off 16th - 19th July and we're hoping to get a last minute break away - child free of course;)

At first we wanted a log cabin with a private hot tub, but these seem quite expensive and ones i've looked at are booked up.

I've spent the best part of this weekend looking for a break away but all the usual places are either booked or cost too much.

Can anyone recommend anywhere nice to get away we are looking for somewhere peaceful and relaxing can be anywhere in the UK, doesn't have to be a log cabin, a cottage/lodge/nice b&b will do. Budget is £375 but ideally would like to come in below that so i can get some treats to make it more special.

Not sure where you are in the UK or where you would like to visit (no point suggesting somewhere in Cornwall if you live in Scotland LOL)

Let me know and I'll see what I can find

I've not holidayed there myself but the cabins look nice, there is a range of different styles of cabin, the evergreen cabins don't have hot tubs but the silver birch and golden oak do, the cheapest one you could get with a hot tub for the weekend would be around £430

Sorry, should have mentioned. We are in manchester. We have been looking at the Lakes, yorkshire, devon but would consider anywhere really, we just really want to get away.

Bit pricier at £475 (for cottage with hot tub, cheaper at £375 if you don't want hot tub) but you also have the bonus of using the facilities of hotel nearby

It says to ring them to check availability

Griffin forest in Yorkshire, very romantic, may be a bit over budget.

Thanks, for those links. I've got Keldy forest and Monkhousehill on a short list.

Griffin forest was my first port of call but it's a tad too pricey for us

centerparcs at Whinfell Forest have exec 1 bedroom studio apartments for £295 for the Friday to Monday. We go every year and I know it can be expensive. But you can make it cheaper by taking your own food. The baths are brilliant, there are loads of lovely walks and you can save money by taking own bikes. No good if you like to go out drinking much of an evening but nice to sit on your balcony with a bottle of wine.
Approx £6 for an hours tennis.

The spa is fantastic but think that is about £35

If not Ambleside is a lovely place to stay.
Worth looking on laterooms.com

Let us know how you get on.
Can I say ... from personal experience ... please avoid Griffon Forest like the plague, we stayed there, not recommended
