Spoil your loved one with a romantic weekend break designed just for the two of you. England is full of classic castles and tranquil beaches; the perfect backdrops to a romantic break. Climb to the top of a gothic cathedral and propose with a champagne toast, or punt your special someone down the serene River Cam; there are a plethora of romantic getaway ideas. There are hot-tubs hiding in forests for a more risqué escape, or suites in castles designed for royalty with four-poster beds.
