Welcome to Romantic Retreats ~ a handpicked selection of the most romantic hotels and holiday cottages in the UK

What's new? We've just added four new luxury holiday cottages to the website - well designed, tasteful and above all romantic cottages in Devon and Cornwall: Boxwood, a haven of tranquility, designed and furnished in neutral colours with slate and wooden floors and only 200m from the banks of the River Tamar; The Hayloft, a stylish studio apartment on the award winning Gitcombe Estate near Dartmouth; Little Tregellast, a charming, detached holiday cottage in rural location, full of character and original features with beautiful sandy beaches nearby; and finally Kildare, the cutest holiday cottage in the heart of picturesque Port Isaac (setting for the TV series Doc Martin) with its array of shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs. Enjoy! - Monday, May 4, 2009

About us

Romantic Retreats was founded in 2007 by husband and wife team Konrad and Claire.

After spending many frustrating hours of trawling through brochures and website listings searching for that perfect romantic holiday cottage for our holiday we decided it was time to create our own website with the ultimate handpicked selection of the cutest, most stylish or simply most romantic holiday cottages.

We now have a small but high quality selection of romantic holiday cottages in The Lake District, Devon and Cornwall, the Isle of Wight, Scotland and many other places and will keep adding more and more cottages as time goes by. We are not a booking agency - the cottages listed will give you contact details of the owners or link to their website for more information. Some cottages will link to the availability page of Cottages 4 You and can be booked through them.

If you own a romantic holiday cottage or know someone who does and you would like to see it added to this website then please click here for more information.
