Plan a Romantic Staycation!
Whisking a loved one away to somewhere special is one of the
greatest romantic gestures, but sometimes in reality it’s just not that easy
to do. We can’t all afford to just drop everything and jet off to Paris for a
week, but in reality – we don’t need to! With dramatic coastlines, secluded
forests & stylish cities on our doorstep, you can have a wonderful,
romantic getaway without going abroad.
If an action-packed city break is what you fancy, you have a
wealth of options within the UK & Ireland. London is arguably the most
popular choice, and with everything from designer shopping to world famous
museums, it’s easy to see why. But did you know that Glasgow offers all of this
too, and within a short drive you can enjoy the rugged beauty of Loch Lomond and
The Trossachs National Park?

If you’d rather be walking along the coast than around the
shops, a stay in Dorset could be perfect for you. The Jurassic Coast stretches
out for 95 miles and dates back over 185 million years, so the varied landscape
is as rich in history as it is in beauty. After a day of exploring, head back
to a cosy cottage and relax with a glass of wine – bliss!

The chocolate box villages & quaint towns of The
Cotswolds offer a chance to step back in time. In the morning you can visit the
traditional markets & sample some delicious, local produce. Then, why not
visit some of the UK’s grandest castles & country houses? The picturesque
self-catering cottages in this region mean that staying in can be just as fun
as going out, with period features & charming gardens to call your own –
even if just for a few days.

Or maybe you want to really get away from it all, and feel
like you’re the only two people in the world. Head to the Brecon Beacons, where
if you venture off the beaten track you can discover beautiful waterfalls &
mysterious caves which are totally undisturbed. The Brecon Beacons is also home
to Wales’ first International Dark-Sky Reserve, so on a clear night you can see
the Milky Way & even a meteor shower if you’re lucky!
