Romantic weekend- help please!

Hi

My sister and her partner are looking to spend a weekend/night away for their anniversary before their baby arrives. Anniversary is 28 Sept, on a weekend, and she will be 7 months pregnant. It's their last chance to be alone so I need ideas as she's stuck for what/where to go!

She has a very small budget of £100-£120 (that's at best and only has £40 saved so far). I normally would come up with good ideas but I've hit a wall! Live Coventry and the budget needs to include food, hotel, transport and attraction, which is where I'm struggling. Where outside Cov has interesting things, cheap hotel and easy to get to?

Not too strenous because of baby but she likes shopping, swimming, that sort of thing but hates museums, etc. Her partner likes sport/big activities and isn't a sit-down-shut-up kind of person.

I really need help here MSErs cos they deserve one last time alone :)
Up and onwards to the future!

    Hilton have some good deals at the moment.

    You can stay at the Hilton Birmingham Bromsgrove on 28th September for £36 room only or £42 including Breakfast. It has a swimming pool and good reviews on Trip Advisor, its also only 20 miles from Coventry so will save on travel costs. That then leaves them with £80 to cover travel, food and attraction, that should be doable, get a 2for1 restaruant voucher. You could look at other Hiltons if they want to go further away.
