Valentine’s Day is coming around the corner, with couples all over the world scrambling for things to do. What will it be this year? Is it going to be one of those years where you stay in with a good film and a bottle of wine? Or are you going to do a double date at a nice bar with your favourite couple of friends? One of the best, tried-and-tested approaches to a stellar Valentine’s Day is to book a night or two at a romantic hotel. And with so many great holiday locations in the UK, you can easily find the right place without making serious travel arrangements.
This article will be a sort of motivator, giving the most compelling reasons for booking a nice hotel room this Valentine’s Day (or later in the year if you missed the boat on booking).
The UK’s amazing holiday locations
Romantic weekend getaways are easily accessible in the UK, so it would be a waste not to utilise some of the country’s gorgeous holiday destinations. Some of the best areas to explore for a Valentine’s weekend include:
- The Lake District. Valentine’s breaks in the Lake District are always a winner, especially for couples who are passionate about gorgeous landscapes and walking tours. Other mountainous areas can offer the same enjoyment.
- City breaks. There are plenty of great cities across the UK for people to take cultural expeditions, with London, Edinburgh, Manchester, York, Bristol and many other cities being wonderful options for exploring, dinners and nightlife.
- Cornwall. It might not be summer, but there’s still something romantic about the coast on an overcast day. There are plenty of great trails to enjoy the scenery, while some authentic seaside fish and chips can make a perfect romantic dinner.
There’s no shortage of romantic weekend destinations in the UK! Think about what you and your beloved like to do and base your location on that.
Hotels have great amenities for romance
Even in the generation of Airbnbs and sublet stays, romantic weekend breaks are best when they offer you everything you need from the jump-off. You might love a mountain trek or a historical tour, but it’s nice to come back to a lovely property with a top-level restaurant and an in-house spa in the same place you’re staying.
After a busy day, getting everything together and going back into town could be the last thing on your mind. A good hotel facilitates your romance, with minimal effort.
Less responsibility
Choosing a hotel also reduces your responsibility to clean up or do chores. When you’re embracing romance for the weekend, you don’t want to worry about a property owner’s checklist of tasks before you leave. In a hotel, you get to enjoy the space and enjoy each other, without the need for a last-minute sweep of the place on your way out.
Scale and suitability
Along with all the amenity benefits that come with staying in a romantic hotel over a short-term rental property, it can often just suit a couple more. In a short trip away, there’s no need for a massive space, such as a full house or property. A nice, comfortable hotel room with an ensuite is more than enough for two people, along with having a naturally ‘romantic’ feel when compared with another person’s home.
Start looking now (for this year or the next)
If a romantic hotel stay sounds like the right move, don’t waste any more time and look for booking options now! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, but it’s just arbitrary, so a booking as a gift can be just as effective. Start browsing now and book your stay.
