With Valentines’ day just around the corner, many will be looking to shell out on special gifts and gestures for their partners.
Going on holiday over the Valentine’s Day period offers the chance to get away from the everyday with their loved one - be it a romantic weekend, or for those wishing to pay a little more, a holiday in an exotic location.
Whether you’re looking to get away on a long trip or short stays in luxurious hotels during a city break, there are plenty of destinations and packages available. From cottages in the countryside, short city breaks in Europe and the United States to exotic beach holidays in the Caribbean.
City breaks are popular packages for those wishing to get away for Valentine’s Day. Traditional favourites include Paris, Venice and Rome – offering a touch of European grandeur and romantic settings.
And with more cheap flights to European destinations from UK airports now on offer, these romantic locations are now within easy reach.
There are also plenty of hotels in Britain which offer special packages around the Valentine holiday, offering couples the opportunity to enjoy romantic short breaks in picturesque settings – with some hotels offering candlelit dinner and champagne.
Popular destinations around the UK include the Lake District and Scotland, where you can find a wide range of holiday cottages. These traditional dwellings offer couples the chance to escape everyday and spend some time together.
Hidden away within picturesque woodland and lakeside locations, allowing the opportunity for romantic walks (weather permitting of course) and with some offering spa facilities, couples can get away, relax and enjoy the romanticism that Valentines’ Day brings.
