Valentines romantic getaway. HELP WANTED URGENTLY!


Recommended Posts

Hi There,


I know it's short notice but I'm looking to go away this weekend with my boyfriend but don't have a clue where to go. Can you suggest somewhere? It doesn't matter where it is just so long as it's in the UK. What's the most romantic place you've stayed in??? Recommendations desperatly needed. The more suggestions the better.


Thank you.


Kirsty

Sorry Kirsty,


Teh Crazybear in Oxford is quite nice

Babington House also nice, but not as nice as it used to be

This is a good site for lastminute

It doesn't help that it's a Saturday night though because I think more people will go away this year. All the more reason to stay home and....


Good luck.

GG sounds like you have Valentines night sorted then.

We found this place by accident whilst drivin round Devon ( Yeah this dog drives..grr.) It has become our favorite place and others have stayed and loved it too. It's run by an eccentric Aussie couple so quite casual in a way, at night if you sit reading in the library and the windows are open bats fly in and out " ohh yes sir.....quite normal bats in the library"...


Hmm now I think about it I really want to go back soon...


Combe House in Gittisham, Devon, see it on [email protected]........ It is really luuuuuvly darling..


weirdly also by accident whilst looking found another combehouse.co.uk which looks "nice" (well you know what I mean).... also


See what you think


Woof

Wow, so many good suggestions guys, thank you sooo much, I'm frantically trying to look through them all now. Keep me posted if you thinks of any more. I'm thinking i'm going to have to visit all of these at some point this year they all look so nice. :))

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
