Weekend Get-Away.

[Courtney]

Hi Guys

JUst wondering if any of you can recommend a decent place just for a weekend break? I don't want to go somewhere really busy and full of brits. Im after a nice relaxing weekend during my time off before i go to Uni in september. Havn't got a major budget.. but if its worth it money is no object ;-)
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Cheers, Courtney.

after the 3 peaks challenge, we stayed in Caernarfon in wales. We stayed in a Hostel for £16.50 a night and its nicer than some hotels ive stayed in, called totters, just inside the castle walls in the city centre so close to everything. was a really nice place to visit

Loch ness. Cracking drive. Hauntingly beautiful place. I will try to dig out the hotel I stayed in a few years ago. Expensive but worth every penny as the majority of tourists won't use it.

* found it, called the lovat. https://www.thelovat.com/. Pay the extra for a modern room. The steaks were awesome.

You looking to stay in the uk? (if so there's plenty of great country houses/remote b&b's etc for quiet retreat)

A bit further afield and there's plenty of awesome places, but there can be much more to do than you can fit in a weekend, as well as plenty of relaxy places

I would prefer abroad ;-)

Anywhere you can get a cheap flight to from your local airport :idea:

If you can afford it and get decent flight times i would recommend croatia, its a fantastic country, plenty to see/do or not depending on preference.
Went to a place called Biograd last year, it was superb

You might wanna visit Amsterdam? :lol: It's a fun place, full of tourists, but something totally different from the UK.. though you probably won't relax that much.. :lol:

if you're looking abroad try the Algarve in Portugal (Albufeira), if you want more specific details of hotels and things feel free to ask - but it's a great place to go for a long weekend or 3- 5 day trip and you can guarantee weather will be nice

I was thinking along the lines of Tunisia or maybe Egypt just for a week? Would like to go to Aussie land but for a week it's a bit far.. I'll have to speak to my uncle and see if he still has an apartment in hurgarda..

i went to portugal for 25 pound last year, then stayed in a hotel for 18 pound a night, weeks holiday for next to nothing

What about doing the 'ring? It's a experience no matter what.

However cost me 1k last year.

Tunisia or Egypt? After all them political wars they had this year I'd steer clear lol. I suppose you'll be alright, just don't venture into Libya!

 

[Courtney]

Yeah. But Egypt the problems were all in Cairo, hurgarda isn't near there, and Tunisia.. Yeah true i would have gone to Tunis but I dunno. It's just an idea ;-) when I get chance I might pop into sta travel and see what they come up with ;-) then book it online!

Compared to ripley, it's nice, haha. It's close to the sea so that's always good. I thought it was quite nice haha. The only bad thing is it's covered in seagull poo.

 

[Bones]

North Wales' coast in generally covered it seagull poo! :lol:

I guess its nice when it comes to the scenery, its castle and the whole area in general, its just the people that bring it down. Same with a lot of towns around me, Bangor, Colwyn Bay, Rhyl (*shudder*), the people really bring them down. Did you pop to Conwy? Thats really nice
