You can still have a brilliant break, despite the weather, you just need someone attractive to share it with. There’s no need at all to leave these five hotel rooms, but we promise you’ll have a lot of fun.
A COURTESAN’S BOUDOIR
The Cora Pearl Suite at London’s Grosvenor is named after a 19th century courtesan. The hotel refused entry to Cora when she rocked up in the 1870s, but they’ve made up for it with this opulent boudoir suite. From £450 per night for the suite
LUXURY GOTHIC
Edinburgh hotel The Witchery is theatrical and darkly sexy. It’s stuffed with antiques and canopied beds and is right by the castle. The restaurant is pretty special, but breakfast comes in a hamper delivered to your room. No need to get up. From £325 per suite
GET DIRTY, STAY CLEAN
Brighton has a saucy rep: it’s the ultimate spot for a dirty weekend. Be dirty and clean at Drake’s where you can book an attic room that has a free-standing bath positioned to make the most of the sea view. Sea-view attic from £180 per night
A SWINGING TIME
The Hundred House in Shropshire is a charming country pub hotel near to the Ironbridge Gorge. Their Angelica and Parsley and Thyme rooms both have velvet- upholstered swings secured to oak beams. Don’t do anything we wouldn’t. Double rooms from £79 per night
MUSIC FOR LOVERS
Do you play the piano? Does your other half? Would either of you like to pretend? Visit The Lowry in Manchester, where the Charles Forte Suite contains a grand piano. There’s also a pantry where a meal for you to eat in your room can be prepared. Charles Forte Suite from £2,450
