Help planning 30th Birthday

Options
Hey guys, my partner turns 30 in a few weeks and I want to do something special but for the first time fresh out of ideas as we now have a little on to consider (9 months old). What I want to do is plan a weekend away, 2 nights in some kind of serviced apartment. I want it to be us and around 5 other family members in the same building (ideally with or close to spa facilities) where we can cook our own food.

Any ideas?

    So she'll still be cooking/washing up on her birthday?
    Get to a hotel and don't be so tight.
  • If you were my husband you would get brownie points for:

    1. planning something.
    2. doing it.
    3. any form of luxury/special treatment (spa or hotel).
    4. having a bit of time away from the beloved child (spa or dinner).

    What part of the country are you in and how far do you want to travel?

    Forgot to add, we are very near the M25 and look for somewhere that's not going to be more than a 2 hour drive so I was initially looking at places in Berskhire, Hampshire and Kent but can't find anything. Always have hit the 4 point above in previous birthdays but on this one I have been so busy it has snuck up on me. Thanks for your response by the way.

    What makes you think the partner will be doing that and not the OP? Making a few presumptions there.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
