Romantic weekend breaks are something most of us with partners could do with this summer. Let's face it: coronavirus lockdown has not been the best thing for romantic relationships. Sure, seeing your other half more is nice, but bickering over dishes/childcare/what to watch on Netflix – not so much. So, book a getaway in some lovely place where someone else will do the dishes, and where the two of you can rekindle the romance. These are our top picks from a variety of websites specialising in romantic getaways.
