Holiday Cottages for Romantic Escapes

Romantic Escapes in the UK

Clichéd as it may be, Valentine’s Day does give couples an excuse to escape the humdrum. ‘Romantic’ also means idealistic, so whilst we may not want to live in a cottage in the countryside all the time, a cosy weekend away may be enough to keep fantasy and passion alive for another year. And who says you have to be young to enjoy a romantic break? So enjoy a weekend with you and your partner at any age, and define your approach to romanticism!

Time-pressed couples will find inspiring properties from rural retreats to city pads and seaside getaways on www.myfavouriteholidaycottages.co.uk. There’s even a special search category section entirely devoted to holiday cottages for couples.

Water features are a popular destination, whether for watersports or the appeal of being lulled to sleep by a babbling brook. Indulge in far-reaching lakeside views across Windermere or a private hot tub under the stars at The Lodge in North Norfolk, and forget about the water rates.

Romantic breaks are just as memorable out of season as in high summer. More so, perhaps, as by then, you can have beaches and scenic country walks pretty much all to yourselves. 

Saunter through bluebell-carpeted woodland when staying at The Folly, a streamside cottage in the North Devon countryside. Hillwalking couples will enjoy a stay at Derby Cottage and enjoy long moorland walks in the wilds of the Peak District. All too much effort? You’ll find a lovely coastal bolthole for two at The Langley-Tarne, a cosy 1-bedroom seaside cottage in the heart of Mousehole, a tiny, picturesque fishing village in West Cornwall. If you want to get away from it all, search for a cottage for two in a remote location. Here, you’ll find little gems such as the wilds of The Brecon Beacons and Mid Wales, where the only break in the silence comes from bird song and the breeze.

All the 2-bedroom cottages above are available via the My Favourite Holiday Cottages website. Select 'romantic holiday cottages for two' people, and a list of suggestions will appear. One further click on a property’s page links directly to the cottage owners’ own website.

“An owner’s website is more personal and will reveal the cottage’s character,” advises MD Rick Bond. “We know from our own experience how we book holidays; therefore, all properties on our website contain a link to that property’s website. It not only gives people much more information than can be crammed into an advert, but it also gives people a chance to book it online and save money without paying any booking fees or commission charges”.
