From dining on delicious food at one of its resident eateries and admiring the breath-taking scenery on a romantic stroll by the water, to sharing a new experience with someone special, Royal William Yard is the perfect destination to treat a loved one this Valentine’s Day.

Providing the perfect romantic backdrop, the Grade I listed destination has pulled out all the stops to help visitors make their Valentine’s Day experience memorable. Whether your grand gesture involves whisking someone special away for the weekend, or buying a unique hand-crafted gift, visitors will be spoiled for choice.

Hailey Cattle, Regional Marketing Manager for Urban Splash, said: “Valentine’s Day is the ideal time to visit the Yard and take advantage of everything that’s on offer; it’s a chance to share new experiences with those you love most. Whether you fancy wining and dining at one of our many resident restaurants, popping open the champagne at our cosy wine bar, or simply taking a stroll under the moonlight, we’ve got it all covered.

"Our new boutique hotel, Rooms by Bistrot Pierre, also provides an opportunity for visitors to extend their stay at the Yard or travel from further afield. After exploring its secret garden or admiring the stunning sea view over Firestone Bay, guests can relax in the lovingly restored Grade II Listed Residence Once building. With a delicious breakfast at Bistrot Pierre also included, a stay at Rooms is sure to impress a Valentine date.

"The Yard also has an abundance of creative gift ideas available, making the experience of giving extra-special this Valentine’s Day; like a pampering session at resident salon YOKE, craft workshops at Ocean Studios, personal styling experiences at high end fashion boutique Identity Fashion, and an array of stunning handmade gifts from around the Yard."
