When city lights dim and the noise fades, there’s nowhere more enchanting than the countryside for a Valentine’s escape. Imagine settling in for two full days of slow moments, cosy evenings and indulgent treats.
Whether you’re wandering hand in hand or lingering in front of a crackling log fire, this is a weekend designed for connection, comfort and the simple pleasures that make love feel deliciously alive.
Our guide to the perfect weekend in the countryside
a taste of home - the Traditional Treats Hamper
Drive through winding lanes, past hedgerows and wildflower banks, until you reach your destination for the weekend. Perhaps it's a converted barn, a shepherd’s hut, a restored manor cottage, or a hidden retreat tucked into woodland.
As a perfect welcome, we love the Traditional Treats Hamper, a beautifully curated selection of artisan biscuits, preserves, fine biscuits, teas and sweet nibbles. It’s the kind of hamper that feels like a warm hug: familiar, comforting, and full of flavour. Share a pot of tea by the window, nibble scones or biscuits, and simply let yourselves cherish the moment.
delicious daytime delights - the Gourmet Cheese & Wine Hamper
After a leisurely breakfast or cup of coffee in bed, why not venture out for a walk? Choose an undulating ridge line, an ancient wood, a hidden valley, or a riverside trail. Let your pace be slow. Pause for vistas or for the quiet thrill of being alone together and take in the beauty of your surroundings.
Pack a light picnic to enjoy in a wild nook or grassy clearing: cheeses, crusty bread, chutney, fruit, and a chilled flask of something bubbling or bright. Here is where the Gourmet Cheese & Wine Gift Hamper makes for the perfect accompaniment, bringing elevated flavours to your al fresco lunch break
Featuring a selection of fine British cheeses from Mouse House Co, crisp crackers, chutneys and a bottle of smooth Royal Road malbec wine, transforming a typical picnic into a tasting experience. Raise a glass to rolling hills, fresh air and the luxury of time.
mid-afternoon indulgence - Luxury Afternoon Tea With Prosecco Hamper
By mid-afternoon, when the light is turning mellow, there’s no better moment than to slow even more. Return for tea and sweet treats delivered straight to your door: the Luxury Afternoon Tea with Prosecco Hamper makes for a refined sweet interlude.
Think freshly baked scones, strawberry jam, clotted cream, New English Tea, and a chilled Italian Prosecco to add some sparkle. Spread a little cloth on a rustic table, open the windows to let in the soft breeze, and enjoy a decadent pause before evening arrives.
a candlelit dinner with divine desserts - the Classic Chocolate Hamper
When dusk gathers, venture out to a nearby cosy country inn or gastro-pub. The countryside is great for its abundance of amazing restaurants that offer low lighting, hearty fare, and use local ingredients.
Or retreat for a romantic dinner from the comforts of your accommodation. Cooking together can be part of the fun and helps create memorable experiences. Choose a recipe, open a bottle of wine, and let laughter and conversation fill the kitchen.
After dinner, enjoy a moment of sweetness with the Classic Chocolate Hamper. Filled with fine chocolates, Monty Bojangles truffles, handmade fudge and enticing confections, it’s the perfect dessert companion to your evening.
A Valentine's weekend to remember
A countryside Valentine’s weekend is about connection and rewilding your senses. Between the walks, the food, the treats and the quiet, what stays is the feeling of spaciousness: space to breathe, space to talk, space to reflect, and space simply to be with one another.
Each hamper becomes a chapter of your getaway: from welcome treats, to picnic wine and cheese, to afternoon prosecco tea, to a delightful chocolate dessert. Return from the hills rejuvenated, hearts full, senses reawakened.
