SPA GETAWAY, CHESHIRE: We know it’s not all about romance these days, as gal pals across the country ditch traditions for galentine’s events, including spa days.

Hospitality firm Daniel Thwaites has a host of TLC packages at its lavish properties scattered over the UK.

These includes an overnight B&B stay, a bottle of Prosecco, supper served to your door, and a ten per cent discount on all pre-booked spa treatments.

Don’t panic if you’ve got an uneven number of single mates.

Guests can book a single room with no supplement for each double-occupancy room reservation.

The package costs from £92pp at ­Cottons Hotel & Spa in Cheshire.
