Right, let’s talk about Woodlands Glencoe. Because honestly, we might have just found the perfect romantic break in Scotland. And yes, we know that’s a bold claim given Scotland is essentially one giant romantic
backdrop, but hear us out.

We know what you’re thinking. “Romantic break in Britain? But what about the weather? And Italy exists!” Fair points, all. We’re not going to pretend British weather is Mediterranean or that our beaches rival the Caribbean. We’re not delusional. But here’s the thing: the UK is actually spectacularly good for romantic breaks. Not in spite of being Britain, but because of it. Let us explain why you should seriously consider staying put.

This week we’ve been talking to Carl Scott, owner of Woodfarm Barns in lovely Suffolk. We’ve known Carl for a while now and he has been advertising his fabulous properties on our site for quite some years. But Carl loves a challenge and recently started Woodfarm Barges. Read what he had to say about this exciting new venture.

So you love the idea of the great outdoors, cooking over an open fire and looking up at a starlit sky last thing at night? But also want a comfy night’s sleep and some of the little luxuries that make a romantic break extra special? Then we have lined up some of the most romantic glamping breaks in the UK (and abroad).

What can be more romantic than the English garden; roses, topiary, a riot of colour. We headed south to the Kent / Sussex border to visit some of the UK’s most romantic gardens. The area has some very romantic vistas with picture perfect cottages, grand estates, rolling countryside and has managed to somehow keep its rural feel, despite being relatively close to the capital.

We think a romantic retreat should be a chance to step back from your busy life and appreciate time spent together. A room with a view is a great way to instantly change your outlook and get some perspective. The windows of our cottages open up to some breathtaking sights. Let us inspire you with a selection of some of the finest outlooks you can enjoy from some of our most beautiful hideaways.
