Honeymoon breaks in the UK
With the fridge stocked with fizz, scones, and clotted cream, our luxury honeymoon breaks in the UK are places for breakfast in bed, rambles to the skinny-dipping sea, and hot tubs that gurgle on cliffsides.
Say "I do", then start as you mean to go on, with shared bubble baths, roaring woodburners, and tiptoe dancing in front of the Aga. With doors a-flung, newlyweds having their honeymoon breaks in the UK make like Parisians, swirling jammy Zinfandels and baptising tears of bread in olive oil. From wilderness retreats where the dogs can join, to the most luxurious honeymoon cottages in Cornwall, there's places for every pair. With so much focus on arranging your unique wedding, don't forget to plan for the harmonious post-nuptial fog, setting aside time to burn the midnight oil in a pretty waterside cabin or sink into a hot tub beneath starry skies.
From love nests where copper tubs glint from the shadows to secluded island lighthouses a stroll from the beach, these are the most romantic cottages for honeymoon breaks in the UK and Ireland. In winter, it's all about waffle blankets and going to bed early as the winds howl outside. In summer, you'll cook suppers al fresco and sip on Meant-To-Be Mojitos. After your big day, you'll need a break filled with little luxuries; whether that's Champagne on arrival, truffles in the hamper, or arranging for a private chef to serve you tagliatelle on the ocean-view terrace, we're here to ensure an idyllic minimoon, down to the last swirl on your morning latte.
