What's the best weekend break you've had ?

Fancy trying Cambridge anyone one been ?

Lovely, vibrant place.

Liverpool
Bath

Nottingham was great, but that was a different concept

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Always like a trip to London. Bath is lovely.

However, I always genuinely love a weekend break in Brighton!

In recent years we have done weekends in York, Edinburgh, Weymouth, London 3 times, Herne Bay, Stratford upon Avon,Lyme Regis, and Dublin. The best was Edinburgh, the worst, Herne Bay

With Whitstable, Canterbury and Faversham nearby, what were you thinking?

In the UK, https://www.belmond.com/hotels/europe/uk/oxfordshire/belmond-le-manoir-aux-quat-saisons/

I haven't had a whole weekend there, but a gang of 12 of us went, in around 95, with a sack full of well-gotten money, and got through 16 bottles of Cloudy Bay (the original) at lunchtime. Hired coach back to London, and no idea how I got home to Fav. Possibly floated on my own lighter-than-air fumes,.

Best British was a free weekend in Dublin with the GF 30 years ago, won randomly during a night out in London. Memorable for the extreme debauchery in our hotel room, and also by being woken at eleven pm (yes, I said debauchery - it was bloody exhausting even when I was young) by a wedding reception disco 7 floors below. That went on for another 3 hours. The riverdancing fools. Memorable, though.

I guess Brighton does not count but I do like a weekend in London. They are now quite repetitive as I pretty much always visit the same restaurants but I like that.

York

Had a surprisingly good weekend near Chester. Wasn't expecting much, but really enjoyed the area. Also had some cracking weekends in the Peak District. Edinburgh has always been a favourite too.

Montagu Arms Beaulieu - marvellous food and rooms plus the New Forest to wander around over the weekend (Mrs Jakarta's teenage stomping ground - never asked her how many yachties she got off with!)

A bit pricey but pre COIVID was our once a year treat.

Came back yesterday, a golf trip to The Algarve, with my three Son's. It was a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyable, can't wait for the next trip!

 

[BigBod]

A long time ago when I was in the Navy, weekend in Hull wearing uniform...and Newcastle....always better up Norf for night out.

 

[The Clamp]

Ambleside. Lake District. Off season so no ghastly people and their squealing children. Heaven.

 

[Binney on acid]

Hereford.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Few years back stayed at Goathland, fans of Heartbeat will know this well. Lovely place.
The North York Moors railway do a war weekend, where every one dresses up in military and 1940’s get up.
Starts at Pickering and goes all the way through to Whitby, with all the stations putting something on.

 

[Eeyore]

Isle of Wigit

 

[Is it PotG?]

Buxted Park back in the 90s.

Great food and she could suck an orange through a hosepipe

Thoroughly enjoyed Edinburgh. Cologne/Düsseldorf was fun too
