Come to Jersey (flights much cheapness) and stay here:
http://www.greenhillshotel.com/
Note the three-night offer with car-hire included.
Cheap flight from Luton (easyJet) v. reasonable from Gatwick and
Heathrow too. More than 150 miles but less than an hour's flight. >> Stay informed about: FOAK: Where to take SWMBO |

Only one way to find out! Is your gf up for a spit-roast or some dp?
We're not rich enough to live here either - my SWMBO is an 'essential
worker' and housing comes with the job. >> Stay informed about: FOAK: Where to take SWMBO |

Too many dodgy, pissed up contractors as well. Dungeness B has got a
major outage planned this year and I'm trying to fix it so I'm there
rather than up in the barren NW where I normally spend my summers. >> Stay informed about: FOAK: Where to take SWMBO |

Gbp330 for dinner, B & B for two people? Doesn't sound at all bad to
