A wave of passionate romance has swept over the South Coast resort of Bournemouth, with the hottest Valentine’s deals the town has ever staged on offer throughout the entire month of February.

Across the resort, hotels, self-catering properties and attractions are offering discounted rates to amorous couples whatever their budget.

There are even special Leap Year offers: the sumptuous four-star Norfolk Royale Hotel is offering anyone who proposes to their partner on the 14 or 29 February, a steamy 25% off their wedding at the hotel. They’ve even launched a saucy sharing platter for loved-up couples, served in the room and “designed for feeding each other,” with overnight stays from £83 per person. Choose from golf, chocolate fondues, martini teas, spas – whatever your mood, love is sure to be in the air.

Funky Urban Beach Hotel, has a special Will you marry me? package for daring ladies – tell the hotel which favourite geeky gadget, fitness or car mag he loves and they’ll throw that in and a three-course romantic feast and B&B, all for £160.

For starry-eyed but cash-strapped lovers, there are plenty of Money Can’t Buy Me Love offers. Why not check into the art-deco Trouville Hotel for a kissable rate of £99 per couple, including use of the swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna, breakfast and lunch with wine?
