Does anyone know of any useful place to find actual last-minute getaways? It's our wedding anniversary this weekend and we had a hotel booked for Saturday night but we've both had crappy weeks and we want to run away for a night or maybe two.
Lastminute.com was a wonderful idea a very long time ago, now it's just like every other stupid hotel/flight/break search engine that fourteen pages of Google throws up, regardless of what I type. I'm sure in the Good Old Days you could just walk into your nearest travel agent and say "what have you got leaving tonight?" but I don't even know where my nearest travel agent is any more.
Sawdays.co.uk started out as a great idea, a guy writing books about special places to stay, out of the way places that were often complete bargains because they weren't on the big lists. We've stayed in a couple of his recommendations and they were excellent. Now, of course, it's a huge popular website, meaning it's full of all the usual overpriced country manors full of tasteless tat and wanky spa/gym affairs.
So, given that it's Thursday night and on Saturday morning we'd really like to get in the car and just bugger off for the night (or maybe two), and we're not on a huge budget... what should we do?
Any advice appreciated. Including, I suppose, "stay home, save money and whinge on the Internet"...
