Ok, need recommendations for a (cheap) week's holiday or short break for young couple, mid 20's. Don't drink, not huge clubbing fans either, so don't want usual "tacky" resort, would like a nice hotel, possibly with spa, beach nearby, some nice, but not expensive restaurants and afternoon tea, nice things to do during the day, good transport links. Travelling from Dublin or Belfast airport, so would love if someone in a similar position could recommend somewhere nice. Can speak French, have done usual French cities (but no problem going back), Morocco etc, so open to suggestions... please....

I just came back from a week in Cape Verde. All inclusive, beautiful white beach, spa, several restaurants serving different cuisines and temperatures in the 30s. We paid around £750 each and all meals, snacks and drinks were included.

I love Alicante. Been there a number of times and never tire of it. Loads of flights, - because of Benidorm - but Alicante is a traditional Spanish town. The old centre is full of interesting bars and restaurants, a fantastic castle overlooking the town, nice tree-lined walks and shady plazas, easy bus ride from the airport, a tram ride to other spots up the coast such Villajoyosa (takes about an hour), a busy working marina, good beaches. Worthing investigating.
Sagres ..most westerly point on the Algarve..away from resorts.beautifull poussada...some private hire villas ...beaches and lots of nice eating places around...
or if not looking for sunny climes..north coast of Norfolk..around Blakeny..lovely hotel there with spa and pool..on the marshes..lots of small villages around with good eating.and Norwich nearby for shops and city stuff...
Gloucestershire. Lots to see and do. The Cotswolds on the doorstep. Or Malta.
Why not travel outside of Ireland how about this - don't know the cost but Sharron is normally warm

thank you everyone, yes, looking to get away from Ireland (still love it for short breaks though), and to sunnier climes. I had also thought of Dubrovnik, but was told it was expensive. Appreciate very much that you all took time to respond, thanks again.
Fly to Friedrichshafen and explore Lake Constance ('Bodensee' as it is known everywhere else) Use the ferry to travel around the lake, good restaurants; excellent local fish and wines.
Our next-door neighbour went to Bulgaria to watch Arsenal a couple of weeks ago. He said it cost him about £200 for 4 nights in a hotel , including the flights.
There are some very good deals to Venice try Travelzoo - have a special look at the top twenty weekly offers.
When is it you are wanting to go as this will make a lot of difference to prices and how far you would need to go to get some beach weather. Malaga is a good all year city to visit.
My last comment should have read 'Worth investigating.' Not Worthing, although Worthing is very nice.
What do you consider cheap?
Question Author
Thank you everyone, haven't been on computer much today. Well cheap... is a student's budget. At the moment I am confined mostly to school holidays, as that's my part time work, so I know that limits my choices at budget prices. I have been in London, Cannes, Lyon, Paris, Morocco, Grenoble... as well as spa hotel breaks.. so love a nice place, lots to do but without the drinking and clubbing scene. Thanks to the person who recommended Travelzoo, we had never heard of it, but we are signed up to other deal websites. Loving all the ideas from everyone, thanks for taking the time to respond.
Try lowcostholidays.com. You can get some great deals.
