Luxury Romantic Cottages for Couples: A Few of Our Favourites
Luxury holiday cottages for couples in the UK aren’t always easy to find since properties tend to be geared towards families and groups. But we appreciate couples’ need to get away from it all and relax in style, so we have handpicked a selection of beautifully presented one-bedroom holiday cottages across the UK. The following list includes a few of our favourite holiday cottages for couples, each with its own luxuries—from a balcony overlooking an Italian garden to a wood-fired hot tub on a secret beach.

Cherry Tree Cottage, Devon
Luxury holiday cottage for couples in Sidmouth with a royal past
Formerly part of a Regency House for the Duke and Duchess of St Albans, Cherry Tree Cottage has a sunny patio looking out onto the award-winning gardens at Littlecourt. This cosy cottage lies on the South Devon coast, famous for its mild weather and stunning beaches.
Sailing and swimming are a joy in the area’s estuaries and bays, and walking on the South West Coast Path, which offers breathtaking ocean views.
The beaches around Sidmouth are also famous for fossil hunting – a unique way to spend an afternoon away by the sea during your romantic break by the sea.
Loch an Eileen Cottage, Aviemore, Scotland
Beautifully converted Lochside cottage for couples in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park
Surrounded by misty mountains and wild forests, this secluded Highlands holiday cottage sits on the banks of a peaceful loch frequented by red squirrels, deer and eagles.
After a day exploring the park’s inspiring landscapes, relax by the wood burner, turn on the underfloor heating and enjoy a meal in the open-plan living room, beautifully designed to create a sense of tranquillity.
The Beach Hut, Devon
Romantic holiday cottage with its own private beach at the end of a steep cliff path
The Beach Hut - Just the two of you, a few seagulls and the waves.
It would be hard to imagine a more romantic setting than The Beach Hut would be hard to imagine. Nestled beneath towering cliffs and with uninterrupted views across the ocean, this beachfront holiday cottage is the perfect place to relax on the beach and watch the sunset on the horizon with a bottle of wine.
There’s no electricity, so windup lanterns provide lighting and a wood burner for cooler evenings.
You will even have your own wood-fired hot tub – the perfect way to end the day. The Beach Hut is near Newton Ferrers on the South Devon coast.
Nutmeg Cottage, Norfolk
Five-star converted barn by the River Ure in Wroxham
Known as the capital of the Norfolk Broads, the pretty village of Wroxham is surrounded by gentle waterways overlooked by old windmills. Wander along the river or rent a boat for the day before unwinding in this cosy cottage on 50 acres of secluded grounds.
If you fancy an evening meal, stroll into the village centre, where you will find some of the region’s best restaurants. We highly recommend the Station Smokehouse, River Kitchen or Old Mill.
Blue Moon, St Ives
Sumptuously decorated one-bedroom holiday cottage in St Ives
St Ives is one of Cornwall’s most beautiful towns, with white-sand beaches and a maze of narrow lanes packed with art galleries and great places to eat and drink. Blue Moon is a stroll away from it all, with unique interiors combining rustic features and sleek, modern furnishings.
Split between two levels, this holiday cottage for couples has underfloor heating, a luxurious en-suite double bedroom and a Chesterfield sofa in the lounge.
The Folly, Northumberland
Fairy-tale cottage for couples in the sleepy village of Alnwick
With its private balcony overlooking an Italian garden, this unique three-storey cottage is perfect for an unforgettable romantic break.
A stone’s throw from The Folly, the Northumberland coast is home to deserted sandy beaches and rocky coves, while woodland trails and ancient ruins can be discovered in the rolling countryside around the village.
