A cheap few days away

We booked our mini moon through https://www.cottage-holiday-wales.co.uk/ - they have loads of lovely little hideaways in gorgeous places

We went to Shrewsbury recently - it's not an obvious choice but was lovely, nice restaurants and cutesy shops

Our lovely friends and family surprised us with a weekend here: http://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/england/shropshire/walcot-hall/the-chapel after H had his cancer op. It was a beautifully serene lovely weekend and the Chapel is amazing! (Was on George Clark's Amazing Spaces too)

What about Oxford or Stratford upon Avon?

For cheap accommodation what about a youth hostel? you can get private rooms and en suite in a lot of them.

Or we've just booked a room in London that's part of a hall of residence. It was only £65 pound for the night including breakfast (which for London is amazing! ). Must be plenty of those sorts of things in Oxford!

Check out Groupon deals for hotel deals - get some bargains!! Xx

We stayed here http://www.gorgeviewcottage.co.uk/ last December.

It was absolutely beautiful and really quiet and peaceful (although I imagine it may be more of a tourist trap in July). Cheddar itself is quite small, but we did day trips to Bath and Bristol

Amihohu thank you, I love every single place on that website! I'm seriously considering booking https://www.canopyandstars.co.uk/britain/england/cambridgeshire/the-island/the-arc - which is neither cheap nor close, but it looks so lovely!

I live in Gloucestershire and would totally recommend coming down here for a few days - Cheltenham is lovely, and Gloucester Docks is a lovely place to wander round on a sunny day. Further into the stunning countryside there is the Forest of Dean, the Malverns and the Cotswolds, where afternoon teas abound. Lots of trippy Cotswold villages like Stow, Burford, Broadway and Moreton-in-Marsh - probably quite expensive to stay there but it's free to walk around!

Only 2 hours' drive from Manchester on a good day

Head down to Kent!! Lots of gorgeous options down south ?

And you can see a lot of the county easily if you stay somewhere central x

That place you like is really close to where I live SillyWrong. I can certainly recommend it as a nice place to visit and could give you some advise on places to eat and things to do if you do decide on it.

There are some great looking places on there!
