Romantic Cottage Holidays

Why wait until Valentine’s Day to whisk someone special off to a romantic tryst in the countryside? The opportunity to say ‘I love you’ is there all year round, and across the UK there are plenty of romantic cottages for that just-the-two-of-you break away. Whether it’s an impulsive last-minute idea or a carefully planned holiday, a few days away in a secluded, luxury cottage can be just the thing to ignite the passion and fire into a relationship once again. Whether your idea of a romantic weekend is a long walk on the moors, beachcombing on the coast, or chilling in a hot tub with a glass of Champagne (or why not all 3…), we have the destination that fits the bill.  Here are five of our favourite spots for year-round romantic breaks:

Spring Cottage Breaks

The dull winter days and long, dark nights can take a real toll on our mood and happiness. So as soon as the first daffodils start nodding their heads and the primroses pop up, it’s a sure sign that spring is on the way. Warmer days, those unexpected heatwaves that send us all flocking to the beach, and the excuse to start eating ice-cream again is a welcome relief from the cold, wet days of winter.

So as spring is just around the corner, shake off those winter blues by looking forward a couple of months.  Now is the perfect time to book a luxury cottage break to look forward to, especially for those half-term and Easter holiday breaks. So what’s on offer?

Easter Cottages

For a couple of years Easter has been a little late in arriving. But this year it falls at the very start of April, so now is a great time to start thinking about booking your Easter break away.

This time of the year usually marks the start of the good weather too, so beach holidays are definitely on the cards. Finding a luxury cottage in a great location shouldn’t be left to the last minute, so if you want to get the best locations for that first weekend in April, now is the time to start planning your holiday. Here are our top five destinations for Easter cottage holidays:

The Best Scottish Walks in Winter; Time to wrap up and get your walking boots on – Winter is one of the best times to witness the true majesty of Scotland’s wild places.
