With tastefully decorated rooms and suites available, you’re sure to have an impossibly luxurious and rejuvenating break. There is also a helicopter pad on the roof, if you really want to arrive in style.The Gainsborough Bath Spa, BathBath is known for its natural hot springs, meaning it is the best place to visit for an authentic spa break. Located in the center of the city, the Gainsborough is steps away from Thermae Bath Spa, so you can really immerse yourself in the luxurious setting. If you do manage to leave your tub, you’ll discover that Bath has a lot more to offer for a love-filled break away from the water.

Some rooms even have roll top baths in the bedroom, perfect for a valentine’s break.Artist Residence, PenzanceEvery room in this Georgian townhouse is individually designed and decorated to an impeccable standard, each with a unique, quirky twist.
