The Ruskin Hotel
The Ruskin Hotel is an awful place to stay. It is small and dirty and the staff is rude. I would strongly advise that you stay somewhere else if you are considering a trip to London.

Oxford
Oxford is a great place to spend the day, we went and just pottered about looking at the fanastic shops and just walking around taking in all the sites, the University grounds are spectular and there is many choices of where to eat. Fanastic place to spend a sunny day and not to long a journey from London. There is also a nice covered market in the centre of town.

Hotel Barcelona
Fantastic bar serving the best champagne cocktails ever tasted. Excellent surroundings decorated in Art Deco style, great restaurant with varied and different menu. bar has license until 2am if you get in before 10.30. Trendy and for a special night out, but well worth the extra expense...!

Cornish beaches
Sennen Cove, good for surfing, white sand, busy in summer with families, but watch out for marines having surfing lessons! 20mins walk from lands end, good views on clear day of the Scilly Isles, also dolphins and basking sharks. Go to Porthcurno for more private beach, stick to the coastal path from Mousehole and visit Lamorna cove for fantastic home made cakes.

The Bath Sausage Shop
Bath has lots of nice shops, a musum and a Roman Bath. There is a pretty walk along the river and plenty to do for the day or weekend. Even has a few good pubs and resturants. In the middle of town there is a sausage shop that makes the best English sauasages in the world! They have a huge range of flavours with over 30 varieties and even do a vegetarian range.

Mumbles, near Swansea
A little gem of a place. We parked as soon as we could and took a leisurely stroll along the sea front. There is a cafe/ice cream parlour where we sat and watched the sailors getting their dinghies ready as the tide came in. Behind us, lots of really good pubs and restaurants. We passed the pier and then it all changed to small sandy coves surrounded by rocks and even an occasional cave. Great for all the family without being too commercialised.
