Romantic getaways near London
It’s all about the special experience and atmosphere of staying in a cottage that has the feeling of being loved through the centuries, where the original features are cherished not hidden for modern convenience, where original brick floors are covered in Persian rugs not fitted carpets, where beams that have proudly held up the house for generations take their pride of place and where you can relax back on a big cosy sofa and pour yourself a glass of wine in front of the roaring open log fire and feel cosily embraced by the unique history of the cottage itself.
All our cottages can easily be reached after work on a Friday for a special and relaxing weekend away.
