Shellbraes Studio is one of our hidden romantic gems. There’s nothing better than being in a cosy intimate setting with everything you could need at your fingertips surrounded by the flourishing Spring countryside. We aren’t the only ones saying it’s perfect for Valentine’s, here is a recent review left about the studio:
“We loved our stay at the studio, which had everything we required as well as some lovely touches e.g. coffee maker, beautiful bedding & vase of fresh flowers. The space is ideal for a couple looking for some peace and quiet with lovely walks in the area.”
Where to eat:
A glass of wine in hand, good company and tasty food will always mean a Valentine’s well spent. Head into Hexham for an evening meal at Cilantro. The restaurant is a fusion of Indian and latina tapas and (although we’re slightly biassed) is truly delicious. Find out more here: https://www.cilantrotapas.com/menu
