Following some very clever logistical maneuvering, are in the lucky position of having FREE time, just OH and myself, between Boxing Day and 30 December. No kids, no nothing. It's like we just stood in the middle of the week and pushed everyone either side lol!
We would love to go away for a few days, in the UK somewhere. We haven't had this choice before, either financially or responsibility wise, and I'm finding it really hard to think of anything. We really deserve a break.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you have a budget or any interests.
Weather can be the tricky one, there are some outdoor things if the weather is good.
Probably best to be close to some indoor stuff.
There are a few nice hotels with pools etc close to interesting places.
What sort of budget?
Will you fly?
London is the obvious place
If you can take bit of cold Glasgow has a lot of good stuff for a few days.
Have scan round the main chains for deals.

We are off to the Lake District. I've booked a couple of nice restaurants and we are going to do a bit of light walking and wrap up for a cruise on Windermere. Am not bothered if it rains and am looking forward to hot chocolate by a log fire.
There's some lovely hotels and some good Twixmas offers available :beer:Sealed pot challenge member #325
