With Valentines Day now on the horizon, (it’s the 14th of February chaps), many people are now starting to plan their special nights with their loved one. Weekends away are often the best way to escape the work environment and spend some quality time together. At Rent Direct, we focus on cheap car rental, but there is nothing we like more than helping our customers to find places they wouldn’t normally visit, helping them to take advantage of our car hire offers and enjoy some truly memorable time away.
Whilst it would be nice to see Paris, New York, Madrid and other foreign locations, they can involve a lot of expense. For that reason, a lot of people try to woo their other halves by whisking them away to some of the more beautiful parts of the United Kingdom instead, and which is why we would recommend these great close-to-home destinations.
If you or your partner loves quiet, idyllic towns by the sea, then we would definitely recommend Dartmouth. The gorgeous Devon town features stunning views out to sea, with plenty of seafood restaurants and some fantastic walks. Looking like it is nervously poking its head out of the forest, Dartmouth is set back from the coastline in an estuary, but a short stroll will have you standing on the sandy beach, admiring the postcard coastline, the perfect location for a romantic getaway.
While quiet seaside breaks might do it for some people, others enjoy heading out into the national parks to take in the breathtaking scenery. Where better to do just that than the North York Moors? If you spend the majority of your life working in the city, taking in the fresh air and views of the countryside can be brilliant. With country cottages and quiet pubs with log fires, the North York Moors provide everything you need for a quiet weekend, allowing you to see historic market towns and sleepy villages along the way.
For a historic city break, look no further than Bath. Small enough that you can experience it all in a weekend, but large enough that there is always something to see and do, Bath will charm literally everybody with its stunning architecture, and will give you the chance to hop onto a boat and travelling down the Kennet and Avon Canal to take it all in from a different view, relaxing on the water before heading back into town for a romantic meal in one of the many bars and restaurants.
