Valentine’s Staycation Guide: Our Top Hotels & Tips
Time together, delicious food, beautiful bedrooms and long lazy lunches. You can't beat a romantic getaway when it comes to celebrating a special date with your partner. To help you plan your next romantic break, we've got some essential tips, as well as some recommendations for when you need a hotel for your Valentine.
How to plan a romantic Valentines getaway
So, you’re ready to treat your partner with a night or mini getaway for some romance to celebrate Valentines Day. Here are your essential tips for an exquisite escape:
Pick Your Date
This might sound obvious. You’ve got your Valentine? But going away on the actual night of Valentines Day isn’t always doable. You may be working or it may also land on another commitment, like someone’s birthday, for example.
This year, Valentines Day lands on a Saturday. Sounds ideal right? But we understand if you want to pick a weekend a little further down the line to make the trip a surprise. Remember in our Greene King Inns, the longer you book the more you save.
If you are looking for something a little late in the day though, don’t miss our last-minute deals. A special offer on a present packed with romance? What’s not to love?
Find Your Perfect Hotel
What does a romantic getaway mean to you? A couple of nights in the countryside? A few days relaxing by the seaside? Or a quick break exploring the sights and sounds of a new city?
Take your time thinking about the ideal setting to bring that all-important romance and remember we have hotels all over the UK.
Plan a Romantic Dinner
If your love language is all about food – and let’s face it, whose isn’t? Then you can’t beat a romantic meal with the one you love, as you sample some incredible flavours.
At Greene King Inns, you’re in luck as all our hotels are attached to pubs serving some of the best pub food. If your anniversary is in the colder months, complement our warming ambience and cosy charm with a glass of red and a steak. And if you’re lucky to have a summer or spring anniversary, join us for a glass of fizz and some summer specials.
A Few of our Favourite Valentines Hotels
Searching for romantic getaways and need a little help to get you started? These are just three of our favourite hotels to get you thinking:
The White Hart, Buckingham
Head to the heart of Buckingham in Buckinghamshire and cosy on down together in the White Hart. Right on the main high street, the hotel has stood since the 17th century and still holds a lot of historic beauty with ornate corbels above the windows, blended with modern charm and a romantic feel. It’s the ideal place to visit if you love exploring historical monuments or walking the pavements of the past together too.
The Rockingham Arms, Wentworth
Located amid the rolling hills and broad valleys of the South Yorkshire countryside, the Rockingham Arms Hotel is a beautiful stone-built hotel clad in ivy, surrounded by walled gardens and seasonal flowers. The restaurant is always a popular choice and the ideal place for a romantic meal, making it a great place for a tranquil Valentines getaway.
The Spyglass & Kettle, Southbourne
Fancy a romantic escape by the beach? Not to be biased, but you can’t beat the Spyglass & Kettle. Overlooking Southbourne Beach, you’ll be treated to outstanding views of the rolling waves on your doorstep. Don’t miss a chance at a relaxing walk along the shore, hands intertwined, not forgetting an ice-cream in the other. Or enjoy the view from the comfort of your room or over a candlelit meal. The coast is always a good idea.
