Short cheap break

edited October 2010 in Not Sports Related
As loathe as I am to ask you selection of degenerates and scumbags, do any of you have any good recommendations for a weekend away that is not going to bankrupt me.

My missus is getting in my earhole about going somewhere for a weekend and if any of you have a good idea let me know.

    Try York. Lovely city . Cheap as chips and only 2 hours on the train.

    Ludlow - fab food, great scenery, good beer, castle, foodie shops, pretty walled mediaevel town and a weekend will be plenty of time to see the whole place. Stay in The Feathers Hotel - google it and you'll see what I mean. Not ridiculously pricey last time I was there, but that was a while ago.

    Ghent in Belgium. Not far and a really nice place. Cost of hotels and restaurants / bars no more expensive than here.

    Did a short break in Istanbul earlier this year and it was cheaper than a break in the UK- Worth a thought.

    Fabulous city although October isn't the best month to go..

    This site may be worth a look- romantic break stuff. Depends what you like doing and whether or not you have a car. Derbyshire is glorious for autumn walking, but for towns, both Bath and York are good shouts.

    As Verona, Ghent and Istanbul suddenly appear to be in the UK - how about Albufeira...

    Seriously - Uncle's right - Bath is superb.

    Found this hotel chain excellent value.......
    http://www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/

    They do special offers, and there hotels are very well apppointed.

    Along the country house/spa .

    Cotswolds, Derbshire, and Devon/Somerset are always good....

    Find Bath very busy, especially if you have a car/parking etc.

    If money is no object then.........

    Edinburgh or Belfast for the OP, if she doesn't fancy the Oxo Tower idea.
