The holiday rental site states that Google searches for "Valentines getaway" are already up 24 per cent compared with last year. People across the UK are looking for romantic destinations closer to home as the cost of living crisis continues.
Offering an abundance of fine dining spots and historic walks, the capital is popular among couples. From drizzly afternoons in snug bookstores to scenic strolls around its numerous attractive parks, Edinburgh is the perfect place to escape for a weekend away.
With its unique architecture, stunning backdrops, and countless secret spots, it is also the perfect place to snap some romantic photos with your other half.
Additionally, Edinburgh is known for its popular proposal spots, from the magnificent Calton Hill overlooking the city to Edinburgh Castle's Esplanade to The Miss Jean Brodie Steps off the Grassmarket. If you are thinking of popping the question, there is no better city to do it.
Sweetcombe Cottage Holidays added: "For those wanting a mixture of city life and Old Town living, Scotland's capital could be the perfect place for you. With cobbled streets and plenty of history, this city offers a truly romantic stay.
"Embrace the surroundings and walk up Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano which offers unmatched views of the city. After descending, stroll through Edinburgh’s backstreets in search of a secret bar to experience the Scottish nightlife."
