Book a Romantic Break to Suffolk This Valentine’s: Your Guide to an Unforgettable Getaway

Romantic holiday cottages in Suffolk, let by Durrants

Valentine’s Day is more than just a day for chocolates and roses. It’s the perfect opportunity to reignite the romance in your relationship. A romantic break can bring you closer, create new experiences, and give you both a break from daily routines. Explore how to make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable with our Suffolk Coast Valentines Day ideas below.

Beyond Dinner and a Movie: Why a Romantic Break Matters

While dinner and a movie are classic date ideas, they can sometimes lack that personal touch. A getaway not only offers intimacy and thoughtfulness but also the chance to explore new places together, and where better than the Suffolk Coast? With miles of coastline, award winning restaurants and unspoilt villages, it’s the perfect place to strengthen your bond. Imagine waking up in a place where love is in the air and the sound of waves crashing or the birds singing is the first thing you hear. Nature has a way of boosting emotions and creating lasting memories.

Choosing the Perfect Romantic Destination

Beachfront Bliss: Sun, Sand, and Sweet Escapes

Beach destinations are a wonderful way to enjoy quality time together, and Suffolk has plenty to offer! You can take a scenic stroll along the shore, whether you choose to walk from Sizewell to Thorpeness or from Walberswick to Dunwich. Don’t forget to pause for a coffee while soaking in the fresh sea air or perhaps savour a warm drink from your very own beach hut! Southwold’s beach features the impressive 623 foot Pier, complete with the Boardwalk restaurant for a more formal dining experience, The Clockhouse café for delightful cakes and pastries, and Seaweed and Salt, where you can find a special gift to take home. If you prefer a more tranquil setting, Walberswick’s wonderful beach is an excellent option. You can easily cross over to Walberswick from Southwold via the footbridge, where the beach offers a charming blend of sand and shingle, surrounded by dunes. And if you’re bringing your furry friend along, they’ll have a blast exploring this dog-friendly beach!

Booking Accommodations: From Cosy Cottages to Luxurious Homes

Selecting the perfect accommodation is essential, and at Durrants Holiday Cottages, we offer a variety of choices for your romantic getaway. You can opt for charming fisherman’s cottages like Angel Cottage in Southwold or find solace in a snug retreat like Briar Cottage in the delightful village of Westleton, which is conveniently near the RSPB Minsmere Reserve. If you’re looking for something more upscale, consider a luxury holiday cottage such as Ferryway, boasting stunning views of Southwold’s beach, or Wood End, a contemporary rural escape equipped with all the amenities you desire.

Crafting an Itinerary: Balancing Spontaneity and Structure

Discover Suffolk’s charming coastal towns like Southwold and Aldeburgh, take a hike on a nearby trail like the Sailors Path at Snape Maltings, or if the weather permits, have an impromptu picnic at one of the county’s beautiful locations.

Romantic Activities for Your Break

Exploring new skills and activities together can really enhance your connection. Discover the amazing attractions in Suffolk, like Framlingham’s iconic ‘Castle on the Hill’, enjoy a delightful day picking flowers at the Southwold Flower Company flower farm, or join a baking class with Rebecca Bishop, the creative mind behind Two Magpies Bakery. She offers a variety of courses, including bread making and sourdough pizzas, at her new venture, The Next Loaf. Taking time to relax is crucial, and Suffolk has a wealth of beauticians ready to provide massages and a day of pampering. There’s nothing quite like spending quality time together, indulging in relaxation and care.

Making it Extra Special: Personal Touches

Thoughtful Gestures: Small Details that Make a Big Impact

How about surprising your loved one with a beautiful bouquet of flowers when you arrive at your holiday cottage? If you’re in the mood for something extra delightful, consider indulging in a selection of Harris & James chocolates. Whether you’re planning a special meal together or raising a glass to future adventures, the Adnams Cellar and Kitchen stores have a fantastic range of sparkling wines to suit your preferences. If you need more ideas, feel free to reach out to our friendly team at the time of booking for our best suggestions.
