Sara Hartley, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, comments, "It is no surprise that traditional romantic destinations like The Cotswolds and Lake District feature here, but what this survey does show, is that affairs take place most commonly in cities.

"The Hilton, The Hide and many others on this list sit on main transport routes, which suggests, rather that stealing away to quiet, picturesque getaways, Britain's cheating spouses simply want convenient, accessible meeting points - far more pragmatic a choice than people may expect."
