You might not buy into the rampant commercialism and avoid sending cards and flowers – but it’s the perfect time to enjoy a romantic day out and an intimate meal in your favourite restaurant.
Here are a few ideas courtesy from the team at Allison Homes for days out and dining for you to draw romantic inspiration from.
Kirkby Hall - Enjoy a romantic visit to this historic house then enjoy a quiet meal for two at the Old White Hart in Lyddington or the Sondes Arms in the village of Rockingham.
Houghton House - Wander around and take in magnificent views. If you enjoy seafood why not try Loch Fyne at Woburn. For traditional dining visit the Black Horse pub in Woburn or the River Room at the Swan Hotel, Bedford with its romantic river views.
Rutland Water – Take a romantic walk around Rutland Water and enjoy the views and the wildlife. There are several very nice dining options including Barnsdale Lodge, Hambleton Hall, The Noel at Whitwell and the Horse and Jockey in Manton.
Stamford – Wander around the narrow streets and lanes of this beautiful Georgian town. Visit independent boutiques and shops. Romantic dining options are abundant. Try the George Hotel, Candlesticks Restaurant or the Crown.
North Norfolk – Breathe in the sea air and have a stroll along Cromer Pier with the oldest end-of-pier theatre in the UK. Once you have worked up an appetite go for dinner at the Gunton Arms – an atmospheric 'inn with rooms' set in a magnificent deer park.
Bon Appetit!
