You can always recover with a wee dram and a plate of complementary haggis… Stay Here:Hotel du Vin, Cambridge. Never made it to Cambridge Uni? Bed down in this former university building turned boutique number for more luxury than any college digs.
Burns Night Supper at the Craster Arms Hotel, Chathill, Northumberland, January 28, 7pm to midnight (min age 18) There's something magical about Northumberland's coastal villages in the winter and the village of Chathill is no different. As the North Sea rages through the icy January weeks, locals know how to get through the long nights with a spot of pub going and The Craster's traditional Burns Supper provides cosy solace on a miserably cold night. Think blazing fireplaces and free flowing Famous Grouse. Andy Grant provides the address of the haggis with music from the Nortumberland Scottish Pipes and Drums. Stay Here:The Craster Apartments, Craster. Owned by the Craster family for 900 years, these palatial rooms set over two floors, although just part of the castle, have oodles of space. Watch out for the ghost though!
