Honeymoon breaks in Devon
With the fridge stocked with fizz, scones, and clotted cream, our luxury honeymoon breaks in Devon are places for breakfast in bed, rambles to the skinny-dipping sea, and hot tubs that gurgle on cliffsides.
Say "I do", then start as you mean to go on, with shared bubble baths, roaring woodburners, and tiptoe dancing in front of the Aga. With doors a-flung, newlyweds having their honeymoon breaks in Devon make like Parisians, swirling jammy Zinfandels and baptising tears of bread in olive oil. From hidden wilderness retreats in Dartmoor where the dogs can join, to the most luxurious honeymoon cottages on the cliffs of Noss Mayo, there are places for every pair. With so much focus on arranging your unique wedding, don't forget to plan for the harmonious post-nuptial fog, setting aside time to burn the midnight oil in a bootlegger’s cottage or gaze at starry skies from your sunken hot tub.
From love nests with bubbling roll tops for two to coastal abodes filled with swashbuckling treasures in smugglers’ coves, these are the most romantic cottages for honeymoon breaks in Devon. In winter, it's all about waffle blankets and going to bed early as the winds howl outside. In summer, you'll cook suppers al fresco and sip on Meant-To-Be Mojitos by the fire pit at dusk. After your big day, you'll need a break filled with little luxuries; whether that's vintage coupes of Champagne on arrival, truffles in the hamper, or arranging for a private chef to serve you tagliatelle on the ocean-view terrace, we're here to ensure an idyllic minimoon, down to the last swirl on your morning latte. Biscuits included.
