Make Valentine’s extra special with a stay at Leeds Castle

Treat your loved one to a romantic getaway this Valentine's weekend at Leeds Castle, one of Kent’s most iconic landmarks. Nestled in 550 acres of stunning parkland, Leeds Castle offers a variety of charming accommodation options, perfect for a cosy, intimate escape this winter.

Whether you are looking for a peaceful break in one of the luxury Lakeside Lodges or a historic stay in the Maiden’s Tower, Leeds Castle has something for everyone. The Castle’s breathtaking surroundings, rich history, and fun activities make it the ideal destination to create unforgettable memories with your loved one.

Maiden’s Tower on the Castle Island offers the ultimate romantic getaway. This 16th-century tower, once allegedly used by Katherine of Aragon’s Maid of Honour during her wedding to King Henry VIII, combines period elegance with contemporary comfort. Each spacious bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, and the tower’s breathtaking views across the Castle grounds, including the beautiful surroundings of the moat and parkland, make it a memorable location for your romantic break.

Alternatively, the luxury Lakeside Lodges offer an enchanting and serene retreat surrounded by nature. Accessed by a private walkway through the Lady Baillie Mediterranean Garden Terraces, these lodges provide a tranquil and relaxing escape. Guests can unwind in a sleek outdoor bathtub on a private deck with stunning views of the Great Water and watch the wildlife flit among the trees and glide along the frosty waters.

During their stay, guests can celebrate Valentine’s with a beautifully curated four-course set dinner at the Castle View Restaurant, perfect for a relaxed yet romantic dining experience where charming oak-beamed interiors and glowing views of the Castle set the scene for an unforgettable evening. Begin with a glass of Kentish Wildshark Supernova Brut and a refined selection of canapés, followed by thoughtfully prepared starters such as cured sea trout with blood orange and pomegranate or honey and rosemary baked camembert with artisan breads. For the main course, choose from indulgent classics including Beef Wellington with chateau potatoes and Tenderstem broccoli or lobster tail linguine in a vine cherry tomato sauce, or elegant vegetarian options such as crispy cauliflower with golden raisins and capers. Desserts provide the perfect finale, with rich chocolate cremeux, passionfruit panna cotta, or a carefully curated cheese board with crackers and seasonal chutney. Priced at £65 per person, Leeds Castle’s four-course Valentine’s menu is ideal for a romantic lunch or dinner in a truly special setting.

Guests staying at Leeds Castle benefit from complimentary access to the Castle and its magnificent grounds, including access to the grounds when they are shut to the public. Explore the captivating maze and underground grotto, visit the Birds of Prey Centre, take a walk through the Lady Baillie Mediterranean Garden Terraces, or enjoy the 1930s immersive audio tour, ‘Invitation to Decadence’.
