AnnieP Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 The design hotel in Maastricht (la Bergeres) is great too: And you can hire a bowl of goldfish for the night for your room for e50. Here's OH in the room there.... Every room has a different picture in. We've stayed in 6 different ones but when we go now, we always request a "bum room" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 We stayed in an appartment off Charles' bridge which was cheap and meant we could come and go as we wanted. Was quite basic, but could sleep a large family. OH is not an early riser and doesn't comprehend room service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Slight change of plan on the old Christmas present front! Decided not to go abroad - think it will be all a bit rushed and too much hassle to leave work, sort bears & chickens out and then fly off somewhere for only 3 days so..... have looked at some beautiful cottages in Cheddar, Somerset so hope to book there for 3 days and take the bears with us too! Bath isnt far away and we have always said we would visit there and we can drive to the coast & take the bears to the beach as well as on Exmoor.

Guest Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Dont think we will be climbing the Gorge but i will take some crackers You can't go to Cheddar Gorge and not climb it. Or at least, you have to have a decent excuse! You could try something similar to mine - daughter on crutches at the time and too young to be left on her own. (Except I WANTED to climb it - the views at the top were fantastic. OH took a camera. DS ran up and down Jacob's ladder several times and still wanted to do more! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Bit late on to this one, but i am sending Ian for a day long hill walk with Llamas, as he loves them. But, its a secret so if you're reading this, darling, serves you right!! They carry the gear and the table, chairs and food for the picnic, how cool is that. You get your own llama or alpaca to lead for the day. Hopefully he'll love it and stop going on about having them so much...or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Oooh! thanks for the Prague links Annie & Claret! Both look wonderful - just a little put off by the glass bathroom Annie! I like a little privacy!! Did you stay in the hotel or the apartments Claret? I do like the idea of an apartment.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Kannie have you thought about Warsaw? It is beautiful!!! Similar to Prague but not as touristy, its how Prague used to be years ago. Its one of my fav nightstops at work. Quite cheap to get there and very reasonable hotels/food etc. very cold in the winter, but a 'nice' cold.

theherd123 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ok i have booked Pepperpot Cottage in Somerset for 4 nights in Feb! The name really sold it - along with the great views & it being by the coast and all! I am also going to book a seperate trip to go on a days Llama trekking! Pick your Llama and walk with him for the morning - park your Llama at a country pub while you have lunch and then walk back to base! Think he will love this!
