Royally Romantic

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, couples around the world will be celebrating with the usual hat trick of chocolates, flowers and fizz. For something a little more inspirational, read on to find out how element can make your Valentine’s Day prize Royally romantic for your winners.

Here at element, we think we’ve found somewhere truly deserving of the crown for our royal-themed break. Nestled in the heart of the Kent countryside, Hever Castle is by far one of the most romantic castles in the UK, once having been the setting of the courtship between King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.  And, what’s more, winners will be able to stay here in their very own private house.

Situated in the grounds of the 300-acre Hever Castle estate, Medley Court is a luxurious four bedroom house originally built by Lord Astor which has been beautifully restored. With open fires, a roll top bath and a private courtyard overlooking the castle grounds, Medley Court is an idyllic base for a romantic escape. Hever Castle provides a stunning backdrop to Medley Court and, during their stay, winners will have the chance to explore the castle, the award-winning Italian Gardens, Anne Boleyn’s orchard and the beautiful 38-acre lake. Back at Medley Court, winners will even be treated to a gourmet dinner cooked by a private chef and served to them by their very own butler – a deliciously indulgent taste of Royal life for the perfect Valentine’s break.

Tomorrow we are wrapping up Royal week with a look at how to make the most of 2011′s extra bank holiday!
