A trio of Valentine’s getaways

21st January 2010 Print

For those whose idea of romance is waking up to views of a mountain-ringed lake complete with ‘fairytale’ tower , then a Valentine break at the four-star Lake Vyrnwy Hotel - just over the Shropshire border in Powys – on 14 February is just the ticket.

This special one-night break starts at £255 per couple for a lake-view room and, as well as the unforgettable view, also included is accommodation with breakfast, afternoon cream tea, a six-course Valentine’s dinner with special Champagne cocktail, plus a rose and handmade chocolates on the pillow and complimentary use of the hotel’s spa facilities.

Optional extras include a chilled bottle of Grand Cru in room on arrival (£36), a mud Rasul treatment for two in the Spa (£60), or an introduction to clay pigeon shooting (£40).
