If you want to surprise a loved one for a birthday, Christmas or Valentine’s Day, this is the place for you. We've collected these experiences from right across the country. You might be surprised how close you are to a romantic destination.

Picturesque places

The perfect romantic getaway requires the perfect backdrop, and there are fewer places prettier than the grand houses and quaint villages of England. Lose yourself in old traditions at Tudor castles, or enjoy champagne with your loved one on top of a cathedral.

Rural and coastal retreats

Step out of the race of modern living and enter the close, romantic world of rural and coastal escapes. Sea-facing cottages, winding cobbled streets and hot tubs in the forest are just a few of the remote and intimate locations you have to choose from.

Unique experiences

Take a break that’s designed for two, and enjoy experiences tailored to romantic breaks that are out of the ordinary. Stay in towers and tents, get closer under the stars, or get a little fruity at a cocktail class. There’s never been more to do together.
