If you’re looking for last minute options for a romantic holiday or short break over February 14th, HomeAway.co.uk has hundreds of bolt holes to choose from – whatever your budget. As Valentine’s Day (February 14th) falls on a Thursday this year, there’s a great opportunity to whisk your partner away for a long weekend – whether in the UK, Europe or even further afield. Classic choices range from the timeless romance of Paris (a proposal on the Eiffel Tower perhaps?) and the historic grandeur of the waterways of Venice (Gondola for two, anyone?), as well as the bright lights of big cities like London.
