10 best Valentine’s Day getaways

If you want to get away from it all, the The Lazy Fish in Cumbria is a striking converted barn set in beautiful countryside that has everything you need for a dreamy weekend away. If, on the other hand, you want a Valentine’s package that involves supreme luxury and includes the champers right through to a specially designed dinner, the Vineyard in Berkshire is a treat you’ll never forget.

Others may wish to indulge their loved one with a stay at an outstanding country pub, such as The Crown in Old Amersham, or a residential spa, such as Ragdale Hall in Leicestershire, where couples can truly relax.

Verdict:

If you’re after a Valentine’s package that includes everything from champagne to candlelit dinner, Chewton Glen in the New Forest has a real wow factor. For something a bit quirky, Karlotta is the most fabulous gypsy caravan we’ve ever come across, situated in the stunning countryside of the Scottish borders. And for great value, YHA Grinton Lodge, North Yorkshire has a surprisingly impressive honeymoon suite.
