The West Country has many places ideal for lovers – pristine
beaches, rugged walking paths, quaint homely pubs, beautiful countryside – all
perfect for getting away from it all to spend some quality time with your
significant other.
If you enjoy being on the water’s edge, you’ll be enchanted
by Weir
Cottage, located at the head of a creek off the river Tamar near Millbrook,
south Cornwall. Soak up the lovely lake views from this charming,
stone-built cottage, the whole ground floor of which has been
newly refurbished and made completely private and self-contained for your use.
Spacious and cosy inside, it’s perfect for two and in an ideal spot to explore
the area. There are good pubs in Millbrook and nearby Cremyll, ideal for a
celebratory drink after a bracing walk along the sandy beaches at Whitsand
Bay and Kingsand, around a mile away.
One of the West Country’s most romantic villages must be
Clovelly, with the narrow, car-less cobbled streets perfect for strolling down
hand-in-hand. Saltwind
Granary is perfectly placed for a visit to this remarkably quaint village,
just three miles away. This gorgeous cottage, converted from old barns, is just
one field back from this magnificent stretch of coast and path, deep in
flower-filled hedgerows. Newly re-vamped to provide the sort of accommodation
any glossy style magazine would be happy to feature, from the distressed beams
to arty soft furnishings. A stunning location and meticulous attention to
detail makes this an exceptional place for a romantic break.
If you want to wow your beloved with something slightly
different, how about a stylish log cabin? The
Retreat, a deeply romantic escape located within a 70 acre farm just a mile
from Chagford, Dartmoor, even comes complete with its own outdoor hot tub. The luxurious
interiors provide a warm welcome after a day’s walking on the open moor.
