Deciding on a holiday cottage for a romantic break will depend a lot on what you want from your holiday. The South West of England has everything you could want from a break, from surfing to scenery and from shopping to restaurants. The South West is an idyllic region and a little thought about what you want from your holiday can help you make an informed decision about where you’re going to go.
Many cottage providers offer holiday cottages specifically for couples. They tend to be picturesque and intimate; tucked away from the rest of the world. If you are intent on staying in and enjoying each other’s company, then the facilities of the accommodation might be very important to you. While it may not seem terribly romantic to check whether your destination has a washing-machine or microwave, neither is being stuck without a change of clothes or being able to rustle up a quick and convenient meal. Consider the home comforts that would make your stay an easy one and then check to see which places have them.
The location is obviously very important. Many couples just want to shut themselves away, but it is important to consider whether you will want to use local amenities, such as shops. It isn’t difficult to find cottages that offer privacy but that are also within easy reach of local facilities. The West Country also offers a great selection of restaurants and dining facilities, from rustic little restaurants to elegant fine dining. If treating yourselves to a meal out is on the agenda, then it is prudent to check out what pubs and restaurants are in the area and, if they are beyond walking distance, whether there are any local taxi firms in the vicinity.
Many couples enjoy walks or like to visit areas of interest and natural beauty. As well as researching what is local to the accommodation through the cottage provider, it can also be worth contacting or visiting the website of the area’s tourist information board. These sites can often uncover hidden gems that can help to make your break that little bit more special.
When you want to go is also an important factor. While for some of us, soaking up the sun with a loved one is all that is required, the idea of snuggling up in font of an open fire with a mug of hot chocolate after a pony trek may appeal to others. The time of year you choose to holiday can affect the cost of your accommodation, with ‘off-peak’ times being less expensive. Checking online to see if there are any local festivals or celebrations taking place at the time you wish to holiday can add another dimension to your time away.
Whatever your reason for taking a break for two, planning ahead will allow you to make the best of your time together and even rekindle the romance!
