Beach getaways are great way to spend your Valentine’s Day and Britannia have no less than 20 seaside hotels. From Brighton to Blackpool, there are a range of hotels up and down the country that are only a short walk away from Britain’s brilliant beaches.
Calici Restaurant
London is rife with quaint and quirky restaurants, so it can sometimes be hard to know which ones to visit. Valentine’s Day is all about love and togetherness, so why not book a table for two and splash out on some food from one of the most romantic countries in the world.
Calici Restaurant is a stunning Italian restaurant located in Belsize Village. They specialise in serving fresh, authentic Italian cuisine and offer a variety of sustainable wines. Calici describe their restaurant as 'a contemporary yet relaxing setting', perfect for you and your partner to celebrate this Valentine’s Day.
This stunning piece of Italy is located just an 11-minute walk away from the Britannia Hampstead Hotel, making it the ideal place for two lovebirds to stay during their trip to the bustling capital.
Loch an Eilein
Loch An Eilein is one of Britain’s spectacular bodies of water, surrounded by grand forests, hills and historical castle ruins. Here you can venture out on a stroll, taking in all the beautiful sights that Scotland has to offer. The walking trail at Loch an Eilein is a low intensity, three-mile-long stretch that takes you around the whole loch.
Be sure to keep an eye out for some of the wonderful wildlife in their natural habitat from the Scottish Crossbill, Crested Tit and if you’re lucky, the elusive Red Squirrel.
This is the perfect Valentine’s Day getaway as you can explore the island at your own pace and spend some quality time with your partner away from the noise of the world. Loch an Eilein was also voted Britain’s favourite picnic spot in 2010, so why not bring some of your favourite snacks and a blanket! There is nothing more romantic that a quiet picnic with the one you love, looking out at stunning Scottish views.
Loch an Eilein is a short 12-minute drive from Coylumbridge Aviemore Hotel. Here you can sit back and relax with a hot drink after experiencing the wonders of Loch an Eilein.
Up at The O2
If you and your partner are more of an adventurous couple, then your date nights should reflect that. This Valentine’s Day be sure to check out Up at The O2 which will give you that sought after adrenaline rush. This activity allows you to see London as you never have before; from the roof of the O2! Here you can climb up to the apex of the iconic O2 arena, battling against the elements and taking your adventurous nature to the next step.
There is the option to book your climb during daytime, sunset or, if you want to go all out, at twilight. To make this Valentine’s Day even better, you can book to Climb & Dine, meaning that you can sit down with your partner for a glorious meal after this once in a lifetime experience.
The Up at The O2 experience is located in the heart of London. It is a quick 23-minute drive from the Britannia International Hotel, which offers affordable prices and spacious rooms.
Canary Wharf Ice Rink
Ice skating is a great Valentine’s Day activity for you and your partner to do. If you’re a seasoned skater, then you can leisurely skate about and have a great conversation with even greater company. If you cannot skate, then you can hold your partner tightly and fall into their arms… it’s better than falling on the ice, right?
Unlike some other date activities that rely on good weather, this ice rink is equipped with a giant roof decorated with flashing lights and a glitter ball. So, no matter what the weather, you and your partner can get your skates on and have a great night together.
Once you have had your fun skating (or falling) on the ice, you can walk over to The Parlour Bar for some delicious food including wild mushroom risotto, grilled seabass or even classic fish and chips.
Canary Wharf’s ice rank and Parlour Bar are only an 11-minute walk away from the Britannia International Hotel. This means you need not worry about what time you end your night, as you can simply fall into your bed within a matter of minutes.
