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 : )

    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
    • In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂 
    • It doesn't work like that. There won't be differential pricing for tourists and residents at any attractions, no checkpoints nor a requirement to carry one's papers with one at all times. A levy is put on hotels, maybe on Air B&Bs, on a bed per night basis. That cash goes to Southwark. It's pretty easy to administer.
