The most romantic hotels for Valentine’s Day

  • From Spectator Life

After spending last Valentine’s Day locked down, this year it’s time to celebrate in style. Since life has been short on new experiences, hotel bookings this 14 February are expected to surge. Avoid the crowds and book one of these secret escapes to make Valentine’s Day 2022 a date to remember.

Storrs Hall

Wild, remote and topographically breathtaking: the Lake District inspired writers from Wordsworth and Coleridge to John Ruskin – the perfect backdrop for those seeking romance.

Storrs Hall, a Grade II listed manor, has proven a particular draw for artistic souls in the area. Wordsworth did a famous recital of his Daffodils poem in its drawing room and Beatrix Potter visited to attend Storrs’ glamorous parties.

Now a luxury hotel, it still manages to make modern day visitors feel at one with the water and hills. The lawns running along its white-washed, shuttered frontage stretch all the way to the shores of Lake Windermere – offering guests their own private cove on England’s largest lake.
