In a word, yes! Some might say stopping to buy your other half some chocs on the way home or offering to cook a meal is proof of your love. Now whilst these are all very nice, nothing beats going away on a romantic weekend for two does it?

Well, you know what they say: three's a crowd and all that. These handpicked breaks are sure to stoke up the romance in your relationship. They're all about slowing down the pace, leaving the stresses of everyday life behind you and enjoying your surroundings and being all soppy.

Of course, romantic getaways mean different things to different people, but with this collection we've found places to go and places to stay that are just that little bit different to the norm, yet remaining resolutely romantic to the point of pulling at your heartstrings with cuteness.

Romance doesn't have to hammer your credit card. Whether it's a boutique hotel with a very cosy spa for just the two of you, or a weekend staying in a cute as can be Airstream, there's a romantic break for you!

This all depends where you choose to stay. Facilities for each venue and accommodation type are detailed on each listing. So if your own private bathroom is a deal breaker for you or your beloved, you can pick the right getaway for you.

'Off grid' means you are not connected to mains electricity. In the case of our romantic breakaways, that could mean a stay in a yurt in the middle of the Welsh countryside. Don't worry though, as no mains electricity doesn't mean no cuppa and no showers. With the wonders of solar energy and candles (how romantic) anything is possible!

We doubt you'll be into doing much cooking, but most of the accommodation featured here does give you just enough to make a brew or concoct a simple meal. But you'll probably be more interested in the fact that there's bound to be a corkscrew, so you can crack open a nice bottle of vino and enjoy the sunset from your balcony, your decking or even your lofty treetop view.

No. Even in the more rustic of romantic hideaways, linen is provided and the beds are generally made up for you. It might be perched up a tree or at the end of a bumpy farm track, but you want a good night's sleep at the end of the day don't you?!

Stay under the covers and rekindle that passion? If that's all too much information, those staying somewhere like the Airstream trailers on the Isle of Wight, will find each trailer has its own collection of vintage board games to keep you amused!

Yes. Even if you can't drive right outside the entrance to your accommodation (it might be in the middle of a field), the locations all provide parking.

For those of you booking our bijou and gorgeous boutique hotel breaks, dinner is usually part of the package. If not, you can always ask your hosts for recommendations on local eateries/pubs to go to, or even get something tasty delivered?

Quite often breakfast is included, be it a sit down affair in the dining room, or a basket of goodies being delivered to your treehouse, tent or yurt!

The idea behind this collection of romantic weekend break ideas is that you kick back, take stock and relax in the calm of your new surroundings. If you're active types there's bound to be walking, running and other sports on the doorstep or nearby. But really, these holidays are all about rekindling the love and simply enjoying spending time together.

Please read the full details sections on each individual page for info on things like check-in and check-out times. It's usually 16:00 arrival and 10:00 departure, but this can vary.

In general yes, but it's worth checking by reading all the info on the page of the accommodation you fancy going to. If you need any more details, please don't hesitate to contact us here at Into The Blue by email, online chat or telephone during normal office hours.

The aim of the game on a romantic getaway is that you leave the pets, the kids and any at home (or more accurately with a responsible adult) and take time for yourselves.
