The Courthouse, Knutsford
If you’re looking for a chic place to stay then The Courthouse in Knutsford certainly delivers. As the name suggests this hotel occupies a former Georgian courthouse which is full of period features.
There’s nothing old-fashioned about this hotel, though, as the rooms are all stylishly decorated with quirky four-poster beds and walls painted in deep blues and greens. On an evening you can enjoy a romantic meal together in the hotel’s restaurant, or try one of Knutsford’s pubs or restaurants right on the hotel’s doorstep.

The Old Hall Inn, Chinley
Nothing is quite as romantic as a 16th century inn set in stunning countryside. The Old Hall in the village of Chinley, just outside of the Peak District, is like stepping back in time - breakfast is even served in the gorgeous Minstrels Gallery, which connects The Old Hall Inn with the neighbouring Elizabethan manor house Whitehough Hall.
The bedrooms feature simple interiors which allows the period features, such as the fireplace and stone windows, to shine. For the ultimate romantic experience, book one of the rooms with a four-poster bed and a freestanding bath.
