Three of the Best: Hotels for Valentine’s Day

Posted: Jan 2019

Love is in the air. Treat your loved one to a romantic getaway this Valentine’s Day at one of these five hotspots…

No. 38, No. 131 and The Wheatsheaf Inn

At The Lucky Onion, we’ve got Valentine’s Day sorted. Whisk your loved one away to one of our Georgian townhouses in Cheltenham – choose between No. 131, which boasts 11 beautiful bedrooms with unique furniture and impressive artworks (think David Hockney, Sir Peter Blake and Banksy) plus fun food. Alternatively, plump for No.38 with its gorgeous British interiors and award-winning restaurant, Prithvi. The super king-size beds are also hard to beat, with Egyptian cotton linens and mohair throws. Our honey-coloured 17th-century inn, The Wheatsheaf in the market town of Northleach makes for a romantic escape, too. Along with bags of character, snuggle down in one of our 14 super cosy bedrooms with lovely cotton linens, Hypnos beds and power showers – plus there’s delicious rustic food downstairs.

Blakes Hotel, London

Decadence abounds at Anoushka Hempel’s boutique hotel in Kensington. Lovingly converted from a set of Victorian townhouses, the vibe is a heady mix of glamour and exoticism. Polished mirrors bounce rich walnut tones around the maze-like corridors. Book the all-red Cardinal suite – a four-poster fantasy of botanical illustrations and antique fabrics. The restaurant is dark and sexy, with black walls and serves excellent Mediterranean fare. But really, when it comes to Valentine’s Day, it’s all about Blakes’ ‘Love Package’ and the question of: Naughty (Kiki de Montparnasse Intimacy Kit, Kama Sutra Book and Massage Oil) or Nice (Rose Petals, Amelia Rope Chocolate Hearts and Love Letters of Great Men). Either way, couples can enjoy a full breakfast in bed with a glass of champagne the following morning.

Scarista House, Isle of Harris

This cosy elegant Georgian manse on the Isle of Harris is one of the most beautiful and remote places to stay in Britain – and the perfect way of having time à deux. With lovely views of the Atlantic Ocean, heather-covered mountains and a three-mile long sandy beach, it’s traditional comfort at its very best with five well-furnished guest rooms. The library is crammed with books and maps, a roaring fire, inviting sofas and a curled-up cat. The upstairs drawing room is equally charming with sea views. Owners Patricia and Tim Martin are excellent chefs. Expect Harris langoustine, Lewis scallops and Minch shrimps. Just leave room for breakfast – Inverawe kippers, Stornaway black pudding and homemade bread and jams. Bracing walks fill the day – a homely clutter of old wellies and binoculars await in the hall.
