The first big event on the calendar for the year is Valentine's Day on February 14th. It may be a few weeks away, but we can already see significant interest in Valentine Breaks for couples. Let’s face it all we need is a break in the middle of winter, and tourism has changed significantly, so many properties are now open all year round.

Finding the perfect holiday cottage for a couple is always daunting; here at My Favourite Holiday Cottages, we have a collection designed just for you with over 450 cottages across the UK that are ideal for couples. Properties range from small, cosy and quaint rural retreats, perfect for a romantic escape in the countryside, to modern holiday homes and apartments by the beach where you can enjoy a bracing walk in the winter. We all lead stressful lives, so getting away with your partner and enjoying each other’s company on a winter walk is one of the best ways to clear the winter cobwebs and focus on what matters in life.

Planning a ValentineValentine'sthis year could be even more memorable with a little thought and planning. For example, you will probably be advised to book a table at a local restaurant for the evening well in advance. If you are going to a new location, somewhere you haven’t been before, booking directly with the owner or a local agent enables you to ask them for recommendations.

If you don’t want to dine out in the company of others, you can always enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner in your holiday cottage for just the two of you. Just check with the owners that candles are permitted. If you don’t want to spend hours cooking, most local supermarkets will provide you with a choice of ready-made meals to order online and have delivered to your holiday home. You can also order from Waitrose or through Ocado.
