In modern times we tend to take it a bit further by treating our loved ones to dinner or perhaps a Valentines weekend break away. Arrive at the Red Lion Hotel and check-in to your double bedroom where a bottle of chilled champagne will await you. Then enjoy a candle lit dinner for 2 in our restaurant. Treat yourself to a full English breakfast before taking a romantic walk through (nearby attraction or grounds of hotel).
