With the most romantic day of the year just around the corner, people's thoughts are beginning to turn to fun escapes to enjoy with their loved ones.
With Covid restrictions easing, it's a great excuse to explore the UK with an enjoyable staycation to give you plenty of time to rekindle that connection.
To help, the experts at holiday lettings company holidaycottages.co.uk have created a shortlist of the best romantic destinations across the UK to enjoy and create cherished memories with your loved one.
Fort William in Scotland has been picked out as the most romantic in Scotland, with the Highland town being chosen as the ideal trip for a more outdoorsy couple looking for adventure.
Often known as the gateway to the magnificent Ben Nevis, the UK's highest peak, as it sits under the famous mountain's shadow, making the ideal basecamp for an ascent.
Described as the ‘outdoor capital of the UK’, there are plenty of fun activities on offer from a couple's hike to mountain biking through some of Scotland's most incredible scenery.
The team at Holiday Cottages said: "A great Valentine’s staycation for couples who love being outside, you won’t run out of things to do as it is home to cinematic landscapes such as Glencoe, and attractions such as Lochaber Geopark and the Jacobite Steam Train."
Other locations named on the list include Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, Portmeirion in Wales and The Cotswolds.
Commenting on the UK’s best romantic staycations, Shannon Keary, Digital PR Manager at holidaycottages.co.uk, said: “Whilst these locations are great at all times of year, there is nothing like spending quality time with your partner exploring beautiful locations on Valentine’s Day.
"With the big day falling on a Monday this year, it’s the perfect excuse for a long romantic weekend. Whether it’s taking a stroll in Fort William or fishing in Wells-next-the-Sea, there is something to suit every couples tastes in this list.”
