Hotel Tresanton, Cornwall

The seaside Hotel Tresanton is for the free-spirited lovebirds with a penchant for surfing and beaching.

The package also lets couples sip champagne upon arrival, treat themselves to room service breakfasts and enjoy candlelit dinners of oysters and champagne. If you're not the seafaring type, stick to dry land and the surrounding gardens, churches and museums.
