Briony Fairbairn of eRentals.co.uk, said: "Destinations such as France are still very popular as an easily accessible romantic break, but what we're seeing is a big increase in bookings for these less well known Eastern European destinations. A combination of more low-cost flights, combined with good value for money hotels, restaurants and shopping seem to be the driving force behind this demand.

"Some of these destinations also offer the potential for a romantic ski break that won't break the bank, with car hire offering an additional element to the trip as travellers choose to discover the wider area."

Other areas seeing strong demand for the Valentine's week include Faro, Malta and Bordeaux.

Briony added: "Wherever you're escaping to for a romantic break, this year a big issue for many couples is keeping the expense down."
