Romantic country cottages

Jane's verdict

From nautical hideaways on the water at Fowey in Cornwall to a dinky cottage in the Cotswolds or Yorkshire Dales, there’s something so civilised about a self-catering hideaway in the UK, not least the privacy and affordability. Stock up on your favourite treats, and throw another log on the fire.

Rural Retreats says

We offer a wide choice of romantic retreats in a variety of locations throughout Britain.

These include secluded country hideaways such as Somerton Mill in Oxfordshire, properties right on the coast, such as Hideaway in Fowey, Cornwall and we even offer stays in former lighthouse keepers’ cottages.

You’ll find a welcome hamper waiting for you and a full basket of logs of course. In our North Cotswolds properties, we can arrange a celebration hamper which includes Champagne, olives and a bouquet of flowers (for a small extra cost).

You’ll probably want to sample some of the local pubs and restaurants or try your hand at cooking the local catch for yourselves perhaps. If you fancy a night in without the effort, we can arrange a dinner delivery service.

If you’re limited for time on your honeymoon, we can arrange a short stay (minimum of 2 nights) at most times of year.

A week in a cottage for two costs from around £500 to £1,000.
