Can anyone reccoment a really nice hotel for a weekend break?
It can be anywhere in the UK, or perhaps France.. would like it to be in a scenic location, and of a decent size.
Full facilities, room service, massages, gym, sauna & the likes..
4 poster beds with drapes, balcony, jaccuzi on-suite..
Basically the works.
Its not for myself, but would like to pay for a family member.
Cheers,
Stu

Make an imaginary booking, and it tells you towards the end how much. Took me a while too.

Re: Balcary Bay
Just checked, and its right near where my mum grew up.. She's from Lochmaben, so it may be a little to close to "home"...

Yeah, you'd send them away on holiday, and all it would be for the next few days is

My parents and aunties and uncles have been going a few years now, twice a year in fact.
Nice scenery, nice rooms, excellent food, nice for a chillout. 
I will let you know after next weekend
