Any recommendation for 2/3 nights good hotels in the UK? Cities of intrest or large towns type of thing...NOT london or the major ones Brum., Liverpol etc. More your Stratfords / Chesters etc. that sort of thing.

we do have a few short breaks in the village hotels...but they're mainly up north so good for us but could be a bit too near home for you.

Ive found quite a big 'divide' in the standard of UK hotels nowadays. Where you would expect a gradual increase/decrease in standards as the price went up/down....there seems to be a distinct £50-75 a night threshold. Anything below, i find very average, and most times above - you can be sure of a bit of quality. Ive got past the stage of 'cheap and chearful' when im looking for accomodation. Other folks hair in the plugholes, 'marks'

on the walls, and peeling paint are things i dont want to find in a hotel room nowadays. Weve done the scrimping when the kids were young and we were skint!

ps..just found time to peruse those hotels - very nice!

if you have a look in the weekend papers - there are usually hotel group offers in there - ive seen the Craxton wood a few times
