Luxury Valentine's breaks in the UK
February 14th is the day for lovers. When it comes to our luxury Valentine's breaks in the UK, there’s hot tubs and fizz on ice and more roaring fires than you can shake a stick at... but remember, all you really need is love.
What couples don’t dream of a romantic skedaddle across the country, of a place to escape for spritzer-fuelled solitude and skinny-dipping in the sea? For the ultimate romantic hideaway, take a sweethearts' stroll to one of our luxury Valentine's breaks in the UK; think hiking Ireland's jagged peaks before having a long lavender soak in a carved stone bath, or making big plans for the future from a hot tub in the Welsh mountains. There's few gestures more romantic than whisking your main squeeze off their feet for a weekend of quality time, and with private homes from the Inner Hebrides to far-flung Cornwall, the only hurdle you'll face is choosing which one.
Some homes are meant for romance; wild ponies wander past the windows, twin bathtubs bubble over with suds, and hampers filled with chocolate truffles and plummy Malbecs await on coastal terraces. For the wild at heart, there are off-the-beaten-track cabins where marshmallow roast on the firepit and thousand-piece puzzles are the unplugged pastime. If you like the look of life on a romcom movie set, there are chocolate-box English villages with private courtyards, crackling fires, and cosy coffee shops that'll have you tangled in the window seat all day. Fiendishly secluded, these are places where no one will find you (unless it's the private chef).
