As loathe as I am to ask you selection of degenerates and scumbags, do any of you have any good recommendations for a weekend away that is not going to bankrupt me.

My missus is getting in my earhole about going somewhere for a weekend and if any of you have a good idea let me know.

    Try York. Lovely city . Cheap as chips and only 2 hours on the train.

    Ludlow - fab food, great scenery, good beer, castle, foodie shops, pretty walled mediaevel town and a weekend will be plenty of time to see the whole place. Stay in The Feathers Hotel - google it and you'll see what I mean. Not ridiculously pricey last time I was there, but that was a while ago.

    Go to Bath and stay in Bath Lodge Hotel. Its a castle its really lovely and not to dear either. Lots for the wife to do in bath too. You will score some brownie points going there.

    Ghent in Belgium. Not far and a really nice place. Cost of hotels and restaurants / bars no more expensive than here.

    Did a short break in Istanbul earlier this year and it was cheaper than a break in the UK- Worth a thought.

    Fabulous city although October isn't the best month to go..

    This site may be worth a look- romantic break stuff. Depends what you like doing and whether or not you have a car. Derbyshire is glorious for autumn walking, but for towns, both Bath and York are good shouts.

    As Verona, Ghent and Istanbul suddenly appear to be in the UK - how about Albufeira...

    Seriously - Uncle's right - Bath is superb.

    Found this hotel chain excellent value.......
    http://www.handpickedhotels.co.uk/

    They do special offers, and there hotels are very well apppointed.

    Along the country house/spa .

    Cotswolds, Derbshire, and Devon/Somerset are always good....

    Find Bath very busy, especially if you have a car/parking etc.

    If money is no object then.........

    Edinburgh or Belfast for the OP, if she doesn't fancy the Oxo Tower idea.
