Hi - I'm trying to organise a Saturday night away in a hotel before me and my friends have our second babies. We're looking for somewhere between London and Leeds (maybe Midlands?) that we can all get the train to within a couple of hours, that has a spa and a nice restaurant that we can have dinner in on the Saturday night. We're not looking for a hardcore spa type place, just somewhere not too pricey where we can catch up and chill out. There are so many on the net and wondered if anyone had any recommendations. Thanks

It's not in the right area but I just went to Alexander House Hotel and Utopia Spa in West Sussex (nr Gatwick), it was lovely and the spa facitilites are great. not sure the offers are available on saturday nights but we paid ?99 for dinner, bed and breakfast plus use of the spa.

Fawsley Hall in Northamptonshire is lovely http://www.fawsleyhall.com/. It's really gorgeous without being pretentious and uber trendy.It would be fairly central for you all although not too sure of the nearest station ?Daventry. I think they're doing some good offers at the moment too.

I second recommendation of the Ragdale Hall, really beautiful, stunning spa with plenty of outdoor space for long walks. Love all the various treatments on offer.


It was also awarded the best spa of the year, definitely worth the visit, you will not be disappointed. We're also off soon in a couple of weeks time : )

    • Dear families,   My name is Eleanor. I’ve worked in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services for the past eight years, and I’m about to begin an Infant Observation course in preparation for psychotherapy training. I’m looking for a baby to observe as part of this training.   The observation involves me visiting a baby and their parent for one hour a week over two years, with the aim of deepening my understanding of early emotional and developmental processes. Taking part is a generous contribution to the training of future child psychotherapists — ultimately supporting the mental health of children and families.   Both of my own children were observed as babies, which I found to be a really positive experience. Having an observer gently witness my babies’ development helped me notice their weekly changes in a new way, and I came to appreciate the calm, consistent presence of a trained observer. I was sad when the observations ended!   If you — or someone you know — is expecting a baby due before the end of February*, I would love to hear from you. You can contact me at +44 7977 910018 or [email protected].   Best wishes, Eleanor
    • I rarely iron, so my massive ironing board is just taking up unnecessary space. Does anyone have one of those little ones that you can use on an ordinary table?
    • It's happened twice today, I've never had this happen before! Here's the second one. All I did was try to agree with a post in the lounge!
    • Now I'm having my hand slapped by some forum bot 😮 All I did was try to add a laughing emoji to ianr's post. This is obviously a message from the universe to tell me to get off my phone and get back to working my way through my very lengthy to do list 🤣 ETA: And it's just happened again when I tried to agree with a post in the lounge. OK universe, I give in. Back to the hideous task list.
