We’re just about to enter a very romantic month indeed – the month of Valentine’s Day. February is a dark, cold month so what could be better for us than embracing special festivals like Valentine’s?
Plenty of people talk about how important it is to show appreciation for one’s partner, but in the hurly burly of the hum drum it’s too easy to just coast along and take everything for granted.
Well, in February you have the chance to show that special person in your life just how much they mean to you by really making an occasion of it. It could be something simple like a breakfast in bed or something altogether far more unique and memorable…..
Knowing that Valentine’s is such a special day in the calendar, at Peckforton Castle we’ve decided to host an entire Valentine’s weekend! We’ll be welcoming lots of couples on each of the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights of Valentine’s weekend and we’ve got something very special in store for them.
It goes without saying that Peckforton Castle has got to be one of the most romantic locations in the country. Couple the fantastic venue with a special Valentine’s dinner menu in our award winning 1851 Restaurant and a stay in one of our sumptuous rooms and you’re onto something truly special.
The other very special point is the price! You can have a 3-course candlelit dinner with your partner, plus a gift, for just £40pp and Head Chef Steve Ramsden has lined up a stunning menu (see below). If you want to stay over you can take a package of £160 per couple to include dinner, bed and breakfast on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th February, or £180 per couple on Sunday 14th February. It would certainly be one Valentine’s celebration that you’ll cherish and remember forever. We’ve already sold lots of the accommodation packages though, so those are now very limited.
So, if you’d like to give your partner the ultimate Valentine’s treat, please call us on 01829 260930. It’s proving very popular, so best to act fast!
