Now with Valentines Day but a matter of a few weeks away, thoughts of romance are in the air.
It’s pretty much one of the only times during the year when I do put a bit of effort into spending a bit of time away with my husband.
We have been very lucky with some of the places we have stayed at in the past. UK Short breaks can be fantastic, but you do have to be careful that you don’t get ripped off.
For instance last year we stayed at a few different hotels in Wales. It was amazing how much the hotels varied in comfort, so this year it has been decided that we want it to just be the 2 of us, so we are looking at cosy cottages.
Already I have done some research into where to stay. I have searched on various search engines for cottage holidays in Wales, weekend breaks in Wales, holiday cottages Wales, etc. etc.
Some of the results have been absolutely fantastic and there are some super cottages out there for rental. When booking anything though, I really would ensure you check all the details. It is essential that you double check all the small print on any website you decide to book with otherwise you may find you are being charged for a lot more than you thought.
For instance there was one company in particular who charged extra for everything including electric, gas, firewood for the open fire, towels, bedding and so the list continued. It’s astounding that you can actually get charged for bedding. If I am staying away and already paying money for their property, I don’t expect to have to pay extra for linen.
As of yet I haven’t actually got anything booked.
So for me I can’t see it’s going to be one of my best Valentines Days to date. At the moment, there is a huge debate in our house about where to actually go. I am especially fond of the Brecon Beacon area of Wales. There is an abundance of open space and in my experience the Welsh people are lovely people.
My husband is a huge golf fan, so of course he wants to go to Scotland and play some of their fantastic courses, so all in all unless a quick compromise is found I can’t see our romantic break being anything of the kind!
