Romantic Valentine’s Day Destinations In South East England

The Christmas festivities may already be fading from our memories, but Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away. If you want to do something more special than the usual exchange of cards and flowers this year, why not plan a day out for you and your loved one in a romantic destination in south east England?

Here are a few inspiring suggestions. Impress your date even more with luxury coach hire to travel in comfort and style. 

A cosy weekend away in the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds are one of the most popular destinations in the UK for romantic breaks, and you will be able to take your pick from many top-tier hotels with luxury spas to pamper yourself in, or tucked away holiday cottages to make a really unforgettable weekend of it. 

The region is also noted for high-class cuisine, so you can wine and dine in style at one of the country’s top restaurants, or have an intimate tête- a-tête in a cosy country inn if that’s more your style. It’s the perfect way to round off a romantic evening.

Above all, you can take long walks together through the chocolate box villages and gentle rolling countryside, calling in for afternoon tea at one of the many charming cafes. There’s also several country houses with extensive gardens to explore, and maybe dream about your future together. 

Oxford

Stroll hand in hand through Oxford’s dreaming spires as you create magical memories together. There’s a palpable sense of history and stories in the air that would be impossible not to inspire a couple in love! Explore the impressive architecture of the world-famous colleges, pass under the Bridge of Sighs and take a punt along the River Cherwell. 

There’s a wealth of art galleries and museums to explore, that are sure to spark the imagination and bring you and your loved one closer together with shared experiences. Oxford is rich in cultural venues, so you could choose to round off the day with a musical concert or a trip to the theatre. 

Windsor

Windsor Castle is of course home to our reigning monarch King Charles III and Queen Camilla. They are the latest in a long line of distinguished royal occupants that date back over 1,000 years, and it is impossible not to be awed by the grandeur of the building and the surrounding gardens. 

Take a boat trip along the River Thames and book a riverside seat at one of many fine restaurants, where you can enjoy magical views of the castle lit up at night. The town of Windsor offers plenty of opportunities for shopping, so you can spoil each other with gifts to your heart’s content. 

Brighton

If you prefer a destination with a buzzy atmosphere, then Brighton is the perfect place for you. It was the playground of George IV way back in the 18th century, and has maintained its reputation as a town that knows how to party ever since! Wander hand in hand along the sea shore, and have fun with the traditional seaside pier amusements.

Explore the stunning Royal Pavillion and visit exclusive designer boutiques and quirky independent shops and cafes. Brighton is a diverse city that’s celebrated for the quality of its live music and entertainment scene, plus some of the country’s hottest nightspots. There are also a plethora of five star restaurants and hotels for some first class romantic settings. 

You won’t be bored for a minute and you and your partner will already be making plans for your next visit as soon as you get on board the coach to take you home.
