Hi all!

It's my boyfriends birthday in March and I'd like to take him away for a few days to a nice rural retreat and stay in a log cabin.

Anyone done this - any recommendations?

We are in Wiltshire and don't want to fly anywhere or drive for more than 4 hours, so somewhere like Scotland is out of the question!

    Personally I dont think you can go wrong with Cornwall. Or there is the Cotsolds, or some villages in the peak district are very nice, which is only derbyshire.

    Yeah I was thinking maybe Cornwall/Devon/Dorset - trouble I am finding is that they will only do week breaks and not 3 nights - bum!

    Cotswolds is too close to home - wouldn't feel like we were "away", he he!

    I will have a look into Peak District!

    Thanks for suggestions!

    I would reccommend Edale. Very nice little village, not much there, but there is a pub or two.

    Holy Christ Paul, I went there on a school trip way way back in 1980 when I were a nipper and looking for new coal seams. Full of inbreds so I wouldn't expect it to have changed much over the last thousand years...

    ... a bit like anywhere north of London really!

    Blobby, nice to hear from you!!

    Not sure about the inbreds, it was very quiet when I was there.

    1980, haha, doesnt mean a lot to me, wasnt even thought of at that point in time!!

    Los Gigantes is nice (or it was when I last went, many years ago). Warm, not too rowdy (unless that's what you want!).

    Nah Helen, I should imagine Paul gets plenty enough of that where he lives - no wonder he needs to get away!

    Did I ever tell you Paul that I spent 18 months living in Hall Green between Jan 02 to June 03? Had to leave in the end 'cos I grew sick of the drugs, shootings and murders! And that was just at the small factory where I worked!

    :lol:

    Hi

    The Canaries are usually good all year round, although Egypt and Dubai and good for Easter - depending on far you want to go. If you want to far Florida is wonderful at Easter.

    Eva :D

    Dartmoor is lovely. And you can go on pony rides up there which is gorgeous at day-break.
