Romance and relaxation go hand in hand, so why not whisk your Valentine away for a weekend of blissed-out luxury at one of these swoon-worthy retreats, from a cosy cottage in the Cotswolds to a slick hotel in the heart of Knightsbridge
The Wellesley, Knightsbridge
To celebrate the 2016 Leap Year, The Wellesley is handing the reins to its female guests to whisk their loved one away for a special weekend package. Partnering with luxury day spa Ushvani, The Wellesley’s ‘Treat Him’ Valentine’s package includes a facial treatment at the nearby day spa, an exclusive Cognac tasting experience and a romantic dinner in the hotel’s Jazz Lounge. Prices start from £1,700 per suite for one night (£850 pp). The offering is applicable on Saturday 13 February and Sunday 14 February 2016. A room-only option is available from £285 per night.
Soho Farmhouse, Oxfordshire
Hole up for the weekend in one of the 40 super-cool waterside log cabins at the 100-acre Soho Farmhouse on the edge of the village of Great Tew and don’t even think about resurfacing until it’s all over. Guests will find a kitchen thoughtfully stocked with home-made cookies and Soho House cheese and the living area has a wood burner to cosy up in front of, with blankets aplenty.
Rose Cottage at Dormy House, Cotswolds
From 10 February, couples are in for a treat if they book Rose Cottage at Dormy House as it will have its own brand-new hot tub. The quintessentially English style, courtesy of Todhunter Earle, includes pastel-coloured floral fabrics, exposed oak timber framing, original features and a snug. Standard rates for a romantic weekend start from £440 per room per night, based on two sharing and including breakfast at VAT.
The Gainsborough, Bath
Tapping into the original thermal springs of Bath, the newly opened Gainsborough is the perfect place to whisk your loved one away for a relaxing spa break. We love the subtle blend of aesthetics – Georgian-era with contemporary – and, of course, the perfectly compact Bath lends itself to a romantic wander.
Endsleigh, Devon
The suite in the bijoux thatched gatekeeper’s lodge at Olga Polizzi’s stunning Regency Hotel Endsleigh in Devon has its own private garden, a roaring wood-burning stove and is set in 108 acres of woodland and gardens full of nooks and crannies. Perfect for a romantic tryst should the mood take you.
Chewton Glen, Hampshire
With only the occasional squirrel to disturb the peace, this lavish private tree house at Chewton Glen in Hampshire, created by tree-house makers Blue Forest, is just about as get-away-from-it-all as it gets. If you can tear yourself away from your own hot tub, you also have use of the fabulous spa located right on your doorstep.
15 Glasgow
Book the Drawing Room junior suite at 15 Glasgow and soak in the romantic Victorian elegance of the room while languishing on your super king size bed. The dramatically high ceiling, ornate cornice and polished antique hardwood floor leads the way to a cutting edge en suite with monsoon shower, and breakfast is served in your room – the perfect lazy way to start your Valentine’s Day.
