Finally decided where we are going for our mini-break/long weekend - looks great and is only around an hour away from Chesterfield.

York Lakeside Lodges - http://yorklakesidelodges.co.uk/

Anyone know York at all? Looking for recommendations for things to do.

Flyboy - show this page to Our_Lass, I think she'll like it - http://www.yorklakesidelodges.co.uk/Gallery.html

We're also looking for an Easter break.
Believe this or not Pete, we have their page book-marked in the Hoseasons Brochure  ;)

So Our_Lass has seen the Galley? Looks amazing to me as a non-fisherperson.

We're up there Friday, return Monday £211 - can't complain. :)

We go to York for weekends sometimes used the Best western Monk Bar (annex room).
Last July we stayed at the Royal York Hotel adjacent to the railway station. (we always use the train).
Love going to the museums or wandering around the shops, sitting at the side of the river with a glass of wine.
Plenty of things to do, try one of the ghost walks -- they are fun!

@Fly Nah - I spoke to 'em on the phone, but they asked me to print out a booking form (.pdf) on site and send it snail mail.

What swayed it for me was a mate who went there last year and mentioned how surprised he was when he saw ashtrays on the tables... So no standing in the rain having a quick fag! :)

@OC - thanks for that.

Just for the record.
I have a postcard sent from Southampton, by passengers, just hours before this liner set sail on her maiden voyage.

http://www.oceanlinermuseum.co.uk/Oriana%20History.htm

I'll try and find it and post the pics.

Here's a scan of the postcard.
Sorry it's a bit unreadable. It is 51 years old.

Our_Lass got the magnifying glass out.
Best she can make out is:

Sailing this afternoon. It's a beautiful boat with every convenience.
Ann is loving it. We are all 3 together in one cabin with Alan's mother and dad next door.
The food is beautiful.
Ann sends a big kiss.

Love Sylvia, Alan + Ann.

@ Fly,

Salou was much quieter this year than in previous years, far fewer Spanish around, a reflection of their economy. Also, there were a few closed down places, and some offers about, but not much else. The theme park was very quiet too, compared to previous years. (If you go, go later in the day and make the most of the night time opening.)
However, not much evidence of price movement, most things seem same price as last year. It was very hot so expect it to be a scorcher in August.
Lots of Russians about too.
If you get chance, have a meal at Little Hamptons, one of the cheapest meals we had, and was excellent. I  had their "Jack Daniels Ribs", a bit wary of having ribs as I eat them a lot and usually have something different when we go out but was tempted by the Jack Daniels element; best meal I have had in a long long time.
Don't buy the cooked breakfast at Manchester airport though, cost us £25.00 with cuppas, for two and they were crap.

Cheers for that K4, we're going all inclusive so no eating out, were tight  8)
Not looking forward to a scorcher, that was the idea of holidaying more northern Spain.
Usually take a cob and a bag of crisps for the journey, yup, we're tight  :))

5 weeks today, bring it on  :)
