not being a local native in these parts – anyone have any ideas where i cantake the Mrs for a swish meal and night away in the North West?

She’s due to drop our second child in April so this could be our last chance for a nice night away – somewhere nice and quiet and swish.

Any ideas?

The inn at whitewell

North cote manor….

Excellent restaurant in Cartmel, Cumbria. http://www.lenclume.co.uk/sr/restaurant.html

Midland hotel, manchester,

The Inn at Whitewell. Book RM3 with the real fire.

the art deco hotel in morecambe whose name escapes me – midland hotel
the rest of the area is a shithole though

i think i saw that art deco hotel on the local news when it was being done up, looked nice.

the Inn At Whitewell looks like the kind of thing i had in mind – cheers!

thanks all so far

keep em coming 🙂

The Plough at Lupton? Run by the same team as the Punch Bowl in Crosthwaite, so it should be good but have no direct experience.

If you really want to push the boat out, go to Nutters’. Not sure where you’d stay though.

You did, it is, it’s a real shame about the rest of morecambe…

Holbeck Ghyll in the lakes or l’enclume as above.

Went L’enclume last weekend for Mrs B’s b’day. FANTASTIC but 1 arm + 1 leg needed (not on the menu) 🙂

Avoid Manchester

Is it me or is this thread now the script to “The Trip”?

San Carlo off deansgate in Manchester , amazing Italian not cheap but fantastic

Inn at Whitewell has my vote again – been their lots, great food and the log fires are a must

http://www.sawdays.co.uk has some AMAZING places to stay – if you cant find somewhere decent on there, then nothing decent exists. tried and tested 🙂
but some can be on the pricey side 😯

The Cavendish Arms in Cartmel. Luverly!

The Grosvenor hotel at Pulford, not far from Chester is very good. It has a spa which the Mrs might appreciate, and it has a decent restaurant.
It was my hotel of choice when I was near Chester for work. Not too expensive either.

Inn at Whitehall now fully booked on weekends until Sept/October!

wow, now i really want to go…

Here.

The French in the Midland Manchester, same fellow as runs L’Enclume and the food is every bit as good.

Cartmel is country Manchester is city.

The Midland Morecambe is a bit special too

Centre parcs ftw! 😀

The Traddock, Austwick

Nunsmere hall nr Delamere

Ffs this site costs me a bastard fortune.

Booked in at Whitewell for a night in April…

take the bike and ride the local roads………………couple of nice climbs

Could probably wangle a spin round Gizzy in the morning…

Jaffjoff, take your road bike and head straight out of the front door. It is only half a mile of riding but it is as steep as you like and the views from the top over the Trough are spectacular. Alternatively take the proper bike up Salter Fell which is about 10 mins drive away

salter fell and dunsop fells wet wet wet

bike up the climb out the door down the dip into cow ark but before you get there 1st left follow road at t junction right up to wallop well/Waddington fell down into Waddington village first white pub un village turn left to grindleton village at duke of York pub left follow road out to holden then on to t junction with road to gisbrn forest right but go left into slaidburn onto dunsop and follow road to whitewell and you is back at the inn………….some good climbs in there and some great views

usually done on a mtb with big tires 😳

as mentioned by chrisE

The Traddock, Austwick

you will not be disappointed. The walking or biking is real nice also.

Pfft, it gets this far and no one mentions the Oxo Tower? When I posted a similar thread it took all of 5 minutes before it popped up.
