So, looking at taking a week away at the end of July with a 'lady friend' to somewhere in the UK.
Initially, we were looking at France, but realised paying near enough £400 for a ferry alone, a break in the UK could and would be just as good.
Can anyone recommend anything; mainly for relaxing. Preferably not camping, perhaps somewhere 4/5 star, a spa perhaps?
Can anyone recommend anything at all? Any locations? And no, not the south coast/Hampshire area if possible.
Thanks!

Me and Fiona went to K west spa in shepards bush and it was great. If you go on their site, they have all sorts of deals on. It's not the cheapest place in the world but it's very posh (tbh I felt like a peasant in there) and very nice!

That sounds pretty awesome to be fair Niall, is that a chain of spas? Perhaps somewhere on the coast?

No it's not unfortunately its just in shepards bush. Stones throw from westfield so got loads of places for dinner or just round the corner from shepards bush underground so could go into town for the eve.

Visit Norway, it's awesome.
If this is the same 'lady friend' we discussed the other day, then you are a hound.

I've never been but the Peak District looks amazing, get a little cabin in the middle of nowhere and go wild.

Could be a good idea, would ideally like a spa type resort and be massaged by some trainee therapist; she's not too good at the massage thing, tends to attack more than soothe me

Depends what you want mate my parents and niece went to college in Cornwall and had a good time.
Highlands would be nice and peaceful.
Spa's can cost a fortune if you don't get things included.

Make sure that these places accept your derv as your 'lady friend' and that the rooms are big enough to fit 'her' in the bedroom. /troll

Oban Bay Hotel?
Easy access on main roads, tons to do locally, one of the nicer "tourist" spots in Scotland, and a short distance from some of the best coastilne in the UK!
Can't vouch for the hotel personally, but I have heard good things

Lake vrnway hotel sounds along the lines of what you are looking for! Think its pretty expensive thou.
Real nice area and some great roads around there too like through snowdonia national park
Quite a lot of things nearby yet its a great location

Ad Oban malts have an awesome reputation! Few whiskies would go down a treat.
Again, misstait, I think I might save a NY/Canada trip for our first year anniversary! She just needs to be patient!

speaking of roads...
The best "day" trip in the country?
If you get a clear (ish) run, then this is the best drive ever!
