Great Escape: Valentine's at a Chateau in Brighton

Each week, we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

This week's Great Escape involves romance and renewal for you and your spouse. It's an overnight getaway that's not that far away — just in Brighton.

Canterbury Chateau Bed & Breakfast, off Brighton Road across from Oak Pointe Country Club, offers an ambience of romantic bliss. 

The invitingly large home has no laundry piling up for you to do or reminders of projects not completed — all part of the magic of escaping your house for a while.

Fresh flowers and candy await in elegantly decorated rooms. There's dessert in the common fridge after 8 p.m. and an in-house video library.   

The Weekend Romance Package is a two-night stay in a suite, complete with a fireplace and two-person whirlpool bath. The B&B also offers in-house massage.

Smells of breakfast — a meal you didn't have to make — will awaken you and your spouse in the morning.
