Luxury romantic breaks in the UK
From drawn-out lie-ins entwined in linen sheets to suppers by the light of the moon; our luxury romantic breaks in the UK offer seductive time away from routine.
We know that romance comes in many forms; though, we're not thinking chocolates and shop-bought flowers. For some, luxury romantic breaks in the UK conjure images of spending time together barbecuing freshly caught fish on a beach house deck overlooking the ocean. For others, it’s sliding into roll tops bubbling over with heady essential oils, then drying off by an open fire. Or maybe you're a pair of mountain-hiking types, setting off into the wilderness with a flask of tea and a slab of cake in the backpack, promising a sweet moment at the summit.
Our luxury cottages for two are spread far and wide, hidden on private beaches in Cornwall, tucked deep into wild woods, and nestled on moody moorlands. Inside, there’s a dash of romance waiting for all tastes, from luxury hampers to bubbling hot tubs. We've carefully curated our self-catering couples' retreats and honeymoon hideouts to ensure they are the most romantic in the land (you can even call in a private chef). 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.
