Husband and I are considering a last-minute holiday for the bank holiday weekend and would appreciate any recommendations. It'll be our first holiday without our little girl (who'll be enjoying her time with the grandparents) so really after the following:


- lots of relaxation (heated indoor swimming pool, sauna etc)

- lie-ins (can't even remember what those were like but know I desperately need them again)

- a spa

- lots of lovely meals

- easy reach from London (no more than an hour drive or train ride)


Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated by a very sleep-deprived mother:o)

Hi

There is a hotel and spa in Wilmington - near Dartford, called Utopia. Went there a few years ago and it was lovely and relaxing.

Also, heard on the radio that Southern trains have an offer on tickets to Brighton this weekend for 50p...haven't checked this out tho.

Enjoy your break!! (v jealous!)

We went to Charlton House in Somerset on a special package and thought it was very good value. The spa is amazing!! The food was decent and the building itself is lovely. We had planned to go as a couple but had to reschedule and take our son, and even with him we had a lovely time and they were so accommodating of him.

There are some special offers with the SunDial group. At their Highgate House they are doing ?60 per room with breakfast and dinner this weekend. It may sound cheap but this is a special deal and they don't advertise their special offers other than on their website and you have to search for it. I have been a couple of times before and really enjoyed it. The food has always been top restaurant quality, the rooms are very clean and is a beautiful place to relax.

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
