Couples' retreats
Drawn-out lie-ins entwined in linen sheets, romantic suppers by the light of the moon: our couples’ retreats offer seductive time away from routine.
For us, romance comes in many forms, but not chocolates and shop-bought flowers. For some couples, a romantic break means spending time together barbecuing freshly caught fish on a beach house deck overlooking the ocean; for others it’s sliding into rolltops bubbling over with heady essential oils, then drying off by an open fire. Or, maybe you're a mountain-hike type, setting off with a flask of tea and a slab of cake in the backpack, promising a sweet moment at the summit.
With our luxury cottages for two spread far and wide, hidden on private beaches and tucked deep into wild, illustrious moorland, when we hand you over the keys there’s a dash of romance waiting for all tastes. We've carefully sourced our self-catering couples' retreats to ensure they are the most romantic in the land. We can even call in a private chef and bubbles for arrival. So pack your bags for a weekend of sheer indulgence, unplug from work calls and plug into what really matters. Just the two of you.
