When it comes to Valentines Day, it's important to be with someone you love. What's even better is if you can surprise your loved one with a quick get-a-way on this special occasion. Finding a place for a special get-a-way needs a little advance planning. After all you will want this day to be remembered for a long time to come. In the UK, you have several options to explore.
So it boils down to what you and your partner consider 'special'. Depending upon where you are located in the UK there are many close by options for such spontaneity to occur. There are really only three major choices in this quick spontaneity: how far, how long and how much.
Quality time
Valentines Day should be enjoyed from start to finish. That's why you'll want the shortest possible travel time so you can spend quality time out of the car. You could try a trip to a nice hotel which has a restaurant with a romantic setting or perhaps a club which has the right romantic atmosphere. If you want more privacy you could head for secret hide-away. In either case, you should aim for maximum time together as a couple.
Secret hide-a-way
If you happen to be looking for the secret hide-a-way, then there are fantastic options located in UK but you need to know where to look. Secluded hide-aways can be found all around the country. Most come with a warm and cosy fireplace and an extremely comfortable bed. Looking into the heart of England you will find the Ford Farm property in Kilcot. To the North there is Bassenthwaighte in Keswick while in Wales you will find the Bay view Cottages. The East of England holds the Rosemere in Norfolk Broads. Each of these is perfect for a Valentines Day holiday.
Take a bag of goodies
If you are travelling around, then be sure to tell your hotel to arrange wine and flowers well in advance. Or if the hotel doesn't cater to this you can pick them up from the village. You would want to romance your mate and give her the time of her life! You don't have to do something very expensive or fancy. Be thoughtful and sincere. That usually wins all the time.
A longer valentine holiday
If you are planning a longer winter holiday around Valentines Day perhaps a trip across the Channel is a good option. Paris is a great location to romance a loved one. Take the Chunnel train with a sleeper or private cabin. You will love the experience. Have a hotel car waiting for you at your destination. Then you can be whisked away into paradise.
The right hotel
Choosing the hotel is easy. Opt for one that is close to most of the romantic sights and yet far enough to ensure your privacy. The Astra hotel is a good choice in this regard. They will pamper you into relaxation. You can enjoy the city and all that it has to offer.
