With February 14th, just a few weeks away, everyone is thinking about romance.
To be honest, it’s pretty much the only time of the year when hubby and I do try to spend a few days away together.
Previously, we have been very lucky with some of the places we have visited. 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. They varied so much in comfort and style, that this year I have decided that I want to stay at a nice cosy cottage instead, where it will just be the 2 of us.
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 places I have found have been absolutely fantastic and there are some great cottages out there to rent. Mind you, I would really advise caution when booking. 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 one of the companies I researched charged extra for everything, this included electricity, gas, logs for the fire, bedding, towels, and the list went on and on. It is absolutely unbelievable that some companies actually charge extra for bedding. If I have already paid money to rent the cottage, I really wouldn’t expect to have to pay additional money for renting linen.
As of yet I haven’t actually got anything booked.
It doesn’t look like it is going to be a great Valentines Day for me this year. In our house at the moment, there is a bit of a heated discussion going on about where to actually go. I especially love the area around the Brecon Beacon. The Welsh seem to be genuinely nice people and all the open space they have gives you a chance to breath.
On the other hand hubby loves Scotland because he gets to play his precious golf, so unless there is a compromise to be found, I can see our romantic break will not be anything of the sort!
