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!)

Thanks Kemurf! Baby's in bed so surfing time begins:o) Will check Utopia out now...

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.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
