Where would be a nice but cheap place to go for an over night stay?

ok so today my boyfriend said pick any place you want to go. he has just got a new car so he wants to go for somewhere that is 2–3 hours away. i live in manchester but i dont know where i could go. just to stay in a travel lodge cheap but nice. plus he wants to go over the bank holiday so might be a bit difficult to find a room.
