Best romantic getaways to book for a Valentine's Day stay in the UK

Whether they're the love of your life — or simply your latest match on Hinge — why not roll out the romantic red carpet with an overnight Valentine's package at one of these UK hotels. An opulent Cotswolds country house with foundations dating to 1485, Ellenborough Park is the ultimate turn-on for couples who love a bit of history. There’s Tudor rose stained glassed windows, 16th-century oak panelling, castle-like towers and 90 acres of lush grounds near Cheltenham Racecourse to explore —plus plenty of cosy nooks for curling up à deux. For extra privacy, stand-alone stay The Lodge, with its own garden and kitchen, is a dreamy hideaway, while a private Spa Garden Retreat, with hot tub and sauna, allows for secluded twosome pampering. For the full experience, pre-book the Romantic Retreat package, which includes dinner, breakfast, homemade chocs and a chilled bottle of Taittinger on arrival.
Live out your naughty nautical fantasies on a weekend aboard the Fingal, a retired lighthouse ferry on the Leith waterfront that’s been meticulously converted into a floating hotel. With tartan-splashed cabins and duplex suites, shipshape cocktails (prebatched martinis are poured from a lighthouse-shaped bottle) and a special V-Day tasting menu featuring Champagne beurre blanc-smothered sole, it’ll prove to be a memorable voyage. Available throughout February, the ‘With Love, From Fingal’ package comes with chocolates, roses, three-course meal and wine pairing, plus brekkie the next day.
