As well as beautiful architecture and ancient sites, Bath offers a great selection of independent shops and boutiques so, if you need a further treat, take a wander through the cobbled streets and discover some hidden gems for yourself.

Cornwall

Sandy beaches and tranquil coastlines, Cornwall is our favourite destination for a romantic weekend by the sea. From Padstow to Penzance, there are plenty of picturesque fishing villages to explore. The sun doesn’t have to be shinning to appreciate the peaceful and relaxing ambience of the seaside. Wrap up warm for a brisk walk along the beach, taking in the refreshing sea air; afterwards, ensure you try the local cuisine with a Cornish cream tea or plate of authentic fish and chips. If you want a secluded weekend to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, then a romantic weekend in Cornwall is perfect for you.

The Cotswolds

This idyllic area is full of chocolate-box villages and picture-perfect backdrops. This is our favourite destination for those wanting a romantic weekend away in the countryside. Book into one of the many local B&Bs and explore the quintessential surroundings. Amble through the rolling hills and green fields before stumbling on a rustic pub for a romantic evening beside a wood-burning fire. The Cotswolds is a beautiful destination for a romantic country retreat.
