Detailed Description

Romantic England is filled with both the iconic and the sensational. There are the unmissable experiences, like afternoon tea in an opulent city hotel or indulging in the World Heritage spa city of Bath. But there's also the quiet charms, hidden away for couples to discover; theaters with Shakespearean tales from a Verona balcony, boutique country house hotels lost in postcard wilderness and punting along a river with champagne and a punnet of strawberries. This unique itinerary captures the essence of the country's romance, blending the classic experiences with England's quaint yesteryear allures. Taking you across the country in 12 days, this romantic tour of England seamlessly provides serene private experiences and inspiring exploratory adventures. And it just wouldn't be a romantic English vacation without a handpicked collection of sublime five-star hotels, each as unique as the landscape it graces.

Start in London, and be enveloped in the regal charms of the capital. Stay in the world's first boutique hotel and sip champagne at an exclusive afternoon tea ceremony later. These first two days are leisurely, giving you time to explore at leisure, with luxury extras like pink truffles in the London Eye's Cupid's Capsule. Then, you're in Cambridge and Oxford, exploring cities of stunning architecture and a quintessentially English atmosphere. Punting on the River Cam and an exclusive tour of Blenheim Palace ensure you always see the decadent and amorous side of the cities.

Then it's Bath, a serene spa city where the ambiance is all about opulence and indulgence. Naturally, couple's treatments and lazy hours are part of the itinerary. But peel yourself from the baths and the city reveals its wonderful World Heritage character. Your boutique hotel is situated on Bath's ultimate street, the Georgian Royal Crescent. Just step out of the door and you find yourself in the heart of the city's appeal. Original Roman baths provide more salubrious relaxation while the city's assortment of styles are quick to enchant.

So many romantic lines were penned by William Shakespeare, and his hometown remains remarkably resonant of 17th-century times. Thatched roof cottages and cobbled streets are just the starts; with two nights in Stratford-upon-Avon, you're submerged in the atmosphere of the playwright's time, topped off by a stylish performance by the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company. Completing the itinerary is the Lake District, England's great expanse of rolling hills and picturesque lakes. Gaze out from your country house and you see green peaks reflecting in Lake Windermere. Wander from the door and you're almost immediately alone in a patchwork of dry stone walls, rural pubs, and the landscape of English travel reverie.

Luxury chauffeured transfers are included throughout the itinerary, and there's a focus on ensuring you have the space to relax and explore at your leisure. A handful of tours and activities are guided; again, these are timetabled to your convenience, and there's an emphasis on discretion. This romantic vacation is all about you, so every day is carefully tailored to your requirements and energy levels.
