There's no need to wait for summer either. What could be more romantic than sharing a bubbling hot tub and bottle of fizz with your partner in the open air on a frosty starlight night in a remote Peak District holiday cottage? How about an early spring holiday in a secluded rural bolthole or surrounded by a sea of daffodils or bluebells in the heart of Devon? Are you looking for a traditional holiday cottage in Britain with roses around the door or something different - an old-fashioned shepherds hut in Cumbria, a romantic eco break in a snazzy yurt or safari tent in Dorset or a windmill for two in Suffolk?

Nor does it end long after the family have flown the nest. Many holiday cottages for couples offer complete ground-floor facilities for those who still cherish their companionship even when stairs may be hard to climb.

Go on! Unlock the romance in you and find a memorable romantic escape for just the two of you. You'll find your favourite holiday abode here! And what memories you will share and treasure together in the years to follow.
