Maidstone
For History and Elegance
If you're dreaming of a romantic retreat that's both elegant and steeped in history, Stone Court House in Maidstone, Kent, is your perfect match.

Bath
For a Luxurious Georgian Escape
For couples who love timeless romance, rich history, and a touch of indulgence, Bath is one of the UK's most enchanting weekend destinations. This UNESCO World Heritage city is famous for its golden Georgian architecture, ancient Roman spas, and graceful streets steeped in elegance.
