Dolan multicross works for me. 250ish Inc fork headset and seatpost.
Planet-x Uncle John £175
http://www.paulmilnescycles.com/ used to get a lot of recommendations, though most of the frame seem to have no bottle bosses.
Thought about second hand?
paul milnes will sell you a great frame and fit bosses for not much money too 🙂

i just got a very nice kinesis Crosslight, just over the £200 mark but very nicely made and finished, not horrifically expensive if you ask me.
Ribble are selling Dolan frames for <£120
