you could probably get return flights to Paris and accommodation for 2 nights for sub £250.

That's quite a broad question.
1 night, multiple nights, 1 week, activity, romantic.
If she's into her meat and cathdrals, I can wholeheartedly recommend a stay at The Lazy Cow in Salisbury.
Bit of a trek from Formby like.

Neither of us have really fancied Paris to be honest? I'm sure we would like it if we went but it's never appealed to start off with

Either a weekend or a week.
If it's abroad is like to go for a week or so if it's uk then I don't mind just a weekend?
If it's the uk I'm thinking maby try find a place that does sort of cabins on a lake? That sort of thing

Just take a look at where the budget airlines fly for cheap flights then find cheap accommodation in your chosen place. You'd be surprised how cheap you can get out into Europe for

I took my gf to Portugal for a weekend for 2 nights for her 21st. For hotel, flights and car it cost me less than £200. I booked everything separately and it worked out really well.

I used to fly Ryanair back and forth to Rome for between 20 and 100 quid depending on time of year etc. Hotel could be arranged on the cheap i'd imagine.

Prague, cheap flights, cheap hotel and cheap while you're there. Ace place to be, and really quite romantic so she'll love it

Especially if she's into prostitutes .
I'd book a week in a log cabin in North Yorkshire . I've been twice and it's great . Cost about 300ish for the pair of us and we had our own little cabin with a hot tub . Ideal if you want a bit of shut off time plus plenty to do if you can be arsed . Am going to book again for August time

True, if she's up for prostitutes you may want to propose to her there lmao
On a serious note, it's nowhere near as bad as some people say, I managed to spend 6 days there and not see a single stag party or a single prostitute. Everywhere sells cannabis everything though :/

She really is into her prostitutes...
I don't like the sound of Prague for time with the mrs. Seems more of a lads weekend?
I was thinking about something like that if it where going to be in the uk though. Somewhere near a nice lake or something. I do like the sound of being away from it all and shut off.
Got a link to where you stayed?

Drink in Temple Bar area can be but was offset with what we paid for flights and accommodation. Flights were £31 return.

I did Budapest for £130 flights and accommodation, three nights.
Just booked Gdansk £160 for four nights.
You won't get as good a deal if you're stuck to particular dates but we just get on Sky Scanner and Trip Advisor and see what is cheap but still well ranked.
I tend to do a bit of homework on the public transport as well, note down a few places you want to go see and learn the bus and tram routes.
Normally end up with a day by day plan, sounds a bit anal but we tend to fit in quite a lot and it needn't cost a lot if you favour free attractions and cheap transport. We met up with some lads who we met on the plane out there who were getting cabs everywhere, they were paying the same per journey as we paid for a week long travel pass.
Drinks were cheap as well. From what I've heard about Dublin, you're not going to enjoy being had off for a pint when you could be in Eastern Europe eating like a king.

I tend to do that when I'm going to city's. Like I did when we went Amsterdam.
I'm not really stuck for dates. I'd like to take her on her birthday of course but I'm not really bothered about a month either way. We can both get time off quite easily really.
