The next major event on the calendar is Valentine’s Day, which comes around every February 14. At Hillbark, we believe romance isn’t about grand gestures alone, it’s found in meaningful moments, shared experiences, and the details that make time together feel special.

Often, the most romantic way to celebrate is by returning to where it all began. It could be a particular activity, it could be a familiar memory, or a shared laugh from an inside joke. Whatever it may be, use this as a chance to rekindle memories of when it all began as a reminder of the true love that will lead you both into the future together!

Romance also lives in the simplest of gestures. A favourite chocolate. Flowers chosen with care. Dressing up, even if just for each other. Valentine’s Day is about emphasising the strong connection that you both have.

For those looking to escape the everyday, a romantic retreat offers the perfect setting. Set within the peaceful surroundings of Royden Park, Hillbark provides space to slow down and reconnect. Enjoy a gentle walk through the park, unwind with tailored treatments at Solaia Spa, share a dining experience in our 2 Rosette Dining Room or over a carefully curated Tasting Menu in The Cellar. As the evening draws in, Contessa’s Bar offers an intimate space to enjoy a quiet drink and simply be together.

As you begin to plan your Valentine’s celebration, our team would be delighted to help create an experience that’s just right for you, one that feels indulgent and truly memorable.
