The addition of a hot tub can elevate your romantic break to new heights, so we have carefully selected a few that boast private hot tubs. Read on for ideas of where to stay with availability this February, as well as the best places to go and romantic date ideas!

Ivy Barn cottage is surrounded by countryside and is the perfect place to unwind for both a romantic retreat or a break with a little one. Its only 10 minutes to the nearest beach and there's a host of other beaches not far away. There are plenty of paths for walks or cycling along the mineral tramways.

You’ll find plenty of historic sites and mining ruins around Redruth. These weathered structures are remnants of tin and copper mining activities that flourished during the 18th and 19th centuries, telling a tale of Cornwall's mining heritage. The hauntingly beautiful engine houses and chimney stacks dominate the landscape, providing a striking contrast against the rugged backdrop.
