However you want to celebrate love this Valentine’s Day, the island of Ireland has you covered. Here are some suggestions for those seeking the romantic things to do.
Go stargazing together
What could be more romantic than gazing at thousands of twinkling stars in the night sky. At the OM Dark Sky Park and Observatory at Davagh, County Tyrone, you can enjoy a guided tour of the state-of-the-art exhibition followed by an outdoor film screening which speeds you from urban lights into the vastness of the universe. Combine the experience with a tour of prehistoric Beaghmore Stone Circles to discover ancient magic.
End the day with a stay in Finn Lough Resort, County Fermanagh. With unique forest bubble domes boasting 180-degree transparent walls and four-poster beds, it’s a superb location for a romantic night under the stars.
Cosy up in a cottage or a castle
Cuddle up in front of a roaring fire on a break in a cosy cottage. Picture-perfect Lissclearig thatched cottage in County Kerry offers bags of old-world charm combined with modern comforts. Located near the town of Kenmare, the B&B (bed and breakfast) is the ideal base from which to explore the spectacular Ring of Kerry.
