Let alone buy and book something for Valentine’s Day. However, it does put us in the mood to think about when we’re out of our baby cave and can book somewhere to feel less like Mum & Dad! Here are our favourite finds… The Most Romantic Hotels… From waterside hideaways to chic city stays. This lot has it all… The Mandrake One of London’s best-kept secrets, this boutique hotel is hidden away just off Oxford Street, and the entrance would have you believe it’s an exclusive club and not a hotel. The bar and restaurant are worth checking in for. But stay for the striking interiors, sexy decor, and the anything-goes attitude. Find out more The Crow’s Nest A truly magical enclave perched atop the cliffs above Whitsand Bay. Wake up in your super king size bed to an ocean panorama. Relax on the rattan daybed, read a book on the deck or take a swim and then jump in the sauna from where you can dreamily gaze at the sea. Find out more Gilpin Lake House The stuff of dreams. Gilpin Lake House is a sanctuary set on 100 acres of private grounds with a private lake. With just 6 bedrooms sharing the boat house, spa treatment room, hot tubs, saunas, and swimming pool, this is an incredibly tranquil paradise we’re hoping someone books us into. Find out more Lucknam Park A quintessential English mansion that has the most incredible spa. With cosy rooms and exceptional food, it’s the perfect place for unwinding and escaping. Find out more Bowcombe Boathouse The most incredible self-catering stay that feels like a real find. It’s large enough to take a baby with you (if you desire). And romance can be found at every corner, whether that’s taking in the view from the stunning window seat, enjoying dinner on the deck or wine by the fire pit. But lazing isn’t the only thing on offer! As the property has boats you can take out for adventures on the very still and calming water. Find out more Soho Farmhouse An adults’ playground where you can feel free in every space, whether it’s whizzing to the spa on your bikes or getting the milk cart to pick you up for a romantic dinner or spa session. Yes, it’s expensive and hard to book! But the relaxing escapism it gives you, is worth every penny. Find out more The Most Romantic Restaurants… Flower filled ceilings, sea views and candlelit suppers. Who said romance dies when you have kids? Not us! *Ok, maybe us… Clos Maggiore, London Could this be the most romantic restaurant in the UK? Possibly! With an incredible French menu and a ceiling filled with flowers, it’s hard not to pin this as our no1 choice. Our tip? Book in for the pre-theatre menu to save some £’s and then see a show or head home for a parent-pleasing early bed. Find out more Fenix, Manchester It’s worth booking a ticket to Manchester just to have dinner at this modern Greek restaurant. New for 2024, it has been described as ‘Gloriously Over the Top’. And sitting on the sexy side rather than romantic, you can expect eye-catching interiors and a menu designed to wow. Find out more The Garden Bar @ The Beacon, Kent Set just outside Tunbridge Wells in Kent, is a tinyl terraced restaurant in the Beacon Hotel. With stunning views of the Kent countryside, The Garden Bar is the perfect place to book when romance needs to happen in the daytime / when the children are easier to look after by Grandma. Find out more Ivy Asia, Nationwide First opened in Manchester, there are now eight Ivy Asias up and down the country. And each one doesn’t disappoint. With the most dazzling decor and a show-stopping menu, they are sure to divert your attention away from talking about how you’re going to get your baby or toddler to sleep. Find out more Poule Au Pot Not really the romantic type? You will be after eating at this charming French restaurant in Chelsea, London. Also within walking distance or a short cab ride to Victoria Station, it has a simple and delicious menu that will please even the fussiest of eaters. Find out more The Beach Shack, Watergate Bay Hotel Set in the picturesque area of Watergate Bay, this sweet little bolthole is the perfect location for those who find romance in relaxed, carefree feelings and are warmed by the hustle and bustle of happy and content families and friends. Not for those who want intimacy in a whisper-filled dark room, but well suited to those who don’t mind a dog, baby, child or surfer at dinner.
