I'm marrying my Thai girlfriend next week in Thailand and doing it all again in the UK the following week...
For the honeymoon I would like to go to New York and Florida but that will have to wait until I can get my gf a US visa. Instead I thought we could have a long weekend in the UK. So where do you guys recommend? I'm thinking of a country hotel - somewhere that's reasonable expensive with lots to do nearby. The gf says she would like to visit Bath after having seen a picture of the horseshoe weir there. I was thinking about the Lake District, York or maybe the Yorkshire Dales.

We stayed here in the Leeds suite. Great place, but Crawley is probably not the best surroundings! Good for a night before a plane trip from Gatwick though.
Tut tut, how rude - edited to add, Congratulations!!

Just be careful. My pal took his newly wed to a posh country pad afer telling her he had been recommended it by a friend. When they arrived the manager came up and said "Nice to see you again, sir" (true btw). DL

Cornwall is a fantastic place for a bit of romance. If you don't fancy rick stein's place there are several other good hotels down that way. I went with my soon-to-be betrothed 
to this place a couple of years back. Had a lovely suite with french doors that opened onto the sea. The food was top notch and the atmosphere genteel, although the average age of the clientele was getting on a bit. Some stunning drives and coastline in the vicinity. Better to go off season though.

Cornwall - Definitely!
We went to the Italian Lakes for our Honeymoon, but we could have saved £££££'s by going to the Lamorran Gardens in St. Mawes, which was even better!!
Lots to do in Cornwall - Eden Project (ok), Lost Gardens of Heligan (fantastic), Lamorran Gardens (Amazing), Caerhays Castle, Padstow & Rick Stein's place, etc...
