Sister is getting married later this year and due to there work commitments and having a 2 year old she is not able to have a honeymoon. As a present I want to book a weekend away for the two of them without the little one so they get a bit of of a honeymoon.
Looking for somewhere no more than 2 hours from Essex so they don't spend a large part driving. Can anyone recommend any nice hotels in the South East of England?
Cheers

Good website, you can search for specific facilities, ie, spa, pool etc, and normally no upfront fees.
If so, there's this place: conghamhallhotel.co.uk/
Winner of "Best Small UK Hotel 12/13", has three Red AA Stars and two red rosettes for food. Also has a decent Spa if that's important. Nice place, close to Sandringham and the excellent Norfolk beaches at places like Hunstanton.

Being in Essex, Southwold on the Suffolk coast would be a nice destination too although I've never stayed at a hotel there.

We stayed there as a family (including small baby) for my youngest's graduation last year and it was fine for all ages.
Ockenden Manor - http://www.hshotels.co.uk/ockenden-manor-hotel-and-spa
Langshott Manor - http://www.alexanderhotels.co.uk/langshott-manor-luxury-hotel-surrey/
All three are very very nice hotels just off the M23. Hour at most from the Dartford crossing. Langshott is the best of the three but doesnt have a spa thing. Ockenden has a spa and a Michelin star restaurant. I think South Lodge has a Michelin restaurant too now

It's really a restaurant - but a very good one - with a few rooms attached. The "Penthouse" which used to be the owner's flat is the only room with a sea view (and huge private balcony) and the only one I'd recommend. While a bit pricey, the room's facilities are excellent. One word of caution, there's a clue about the quality of the beach in the name! (But Bournemouth's a short drive.) Chewton Glen with its cool "treehouses" is just down the road but that's out of the reach of almost everybody except Croesus pricewise!

2 nights B and B plus a nights dinner. Normally around 150 for two people altogether. It's amazing the place
