• Grade I-listed surroundings
• Romantic wine cellar bar
• Four-poster bed rooms

Hotels don’t get much more romantic than Peckforton Castle, in Cheshire. I mean, it’s a castle. So your surroundings will include arrow slides, spiral staircases, suits of armour and French tapestries. It’s easy to see why so many celebs have got hitched here. And why it’s the backdrop for TV series, like Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Who.

It’s not all looks and no substance, though. The 48-bedroom castle hotel has nailed dinner and drinks, as well. There’s the award-winning 1851 Restaurant, which blends the best of French and British. Or, fancy dining in the castle’s former kitchens? Head to 2010 Brasserie for a more informal meal of burgers, fish and chips, or pasta. The pièce de résistance is the wine cellar bar. It oozes ‘date night’ with its lantern lighting and dramatic vaulted ceiling.

You don’t come here for the location. It’s the kind of place you go to drop off the map and spend all weekend in bed. And they’ve got some seriously impressive ones of those. The Four Poster rooms give off fairytale vibes, while Executive rooms come with charming rolltop baths. And some of the rooms even have fireplaces that can be lit in the chillier months.

The Clayton Hotel Manchester Airport takes the stress out of travelling. It’s walking distance to all the terminals at Manchester Airport, but you don’t even have to pound the pavements. Why? Because there’s a free 24-hour shuttle service that will drop and pick you up from the airport and train station.

If that wasn’t obvious already, this is an airport hotel with a difference. You can grab pre-ordered takeaway breakfasts from 5.30am – perfect for early flights. Plus, there’s 24/7 room service, for late landers. The Grill Restaurant’s open the rest of the time for locally sourced, freshly prepared meals. And the Aviator Bar’s the place to come for coffee or cocktails, depending on the hour. And there’s a garden terrace to sit out on when the weather’s playing ball.

Young diners have their own menu here, too. But that’s not the only family-friendly feature. You can also book dedicated family rooms for up to two adults and two kids, or interconnecting rooms for up to nine guests across three rooms.

If you’re in town for business, you’re in luck. Manchester Conference Centre and MediaCityUK are 25 minutes’ drive away. But the Clayton Hotel Manchester Airport also has 13 meeting rooms with space for up to 70 people. Shopaholics, meanwhile, can reach the popular Trafford Centre in 20 minutes.
