on a weekend this year, so you'd have to pick a weekend either side of the 14th. of course if you are greedy you could do something both weekends, or maybe even for the entire week! renting a cottage is one of the most popular things to do on valentines day. personally i can't think of anything more romantic than a couple spending quality time together, locked away in their own little world.
staying at home for valentines day can be romantic, all you need to do is plan. if cooking a meal is something that you don't normally do than this idea could be for you. plan well in advance
