If your man hasn’t done the deed by Valentine’s Day, why not take matters into your own hands and book a romantic cottage for 29th February. It’s a leap year after all and for ladies who know what they want, it’s time to turn the tables and propose in a truly romantic setting.

Black Pit Cottage, perched above the beach at Lee Bay in North Devon is a perfect pad for couples, just yards from the deep, craggy rock pools and sandy beach of Lee Bay below. This beautiful four-star gold rated stone cottage, named after the stretch of sand where coal ships used to unload coal for the area, is blessed with dramatic sea views, it overlooks National Trust land, and backs directly onto the picturesque NGS garden at Cliffe. Here you can sit in seclusion, listening to the crashing waves below, gazing at the beautiful terraced gardens, and enjoying the moment together.

Available from £399 for a three night stay over Valentine’s Day or including 29 February, this cosy coastal retreat has a wood burner for toasty evenings with your beau in front of a crackling fire. The chic open plan living area opens onto a large patio with sea views, creating an extended living area that pours in light and provides an airy seaside atmosphere. A week can be booked from £599.

If you can tear yourself away from dramatic walks together along the beach, you can snuggle up in front of the flatscreen TV and watch romantic classics on the DVD player; or you could simply listen to your favourite love songs on the ipod docking station.
