Last minute romantic breaks in the UK

Love cannot wait, people with deep feelings for their partners want to spend every minute together. One way of spending time alone at weekends is to rent a country cottage, just for two and disappear into a rural heaven with the one you love.

Take a look at last minute romantic cottages near your county for a wonderful passionate weekend.

Choose luxury instead of functionality if you can so that you can have that enormous soft bed and a downy duvet to snuggle under. Passionate nights will lead onto warm and cuddly days. In a holiday cottage you can cook breakfast together in your own private kitchen and eat it on the patio in the summer. Walk in the countryside holding hands and the beauty of the world will open up to you in a way that ordinary mortals do not see.

Spend the day doing what you both enjoy and finding out more about shared beliefs, values and experiences. People in love want to find out as much as they can about their partner , share their personal stories and deepest thoughts.

If your cottage has a private hot tub, the two of you could sit in it together, chatting, laughing, sipping wine.  Last minute getaways should not be too far from home because of the travelling time. You need to arrive with energy to spare.

Do please send us recommendations of any fabulous romantic weekends that you spend in the UK - share the joy with other lovers.

 We all have a personal idea of what constitutes a romantic break. It all depends on our upbringing, traditions and manners. Your notion of romantic may to wine and dine your partner, another may be to treat them them to the best theatre show in town or take them to a club, all depending on shared interests. This will have a bearing on where you choose to stay. Limiting travel to and from venues is important. If you plan to enjoy a good bottle of wine, you won't be thinking of driving back to your holiday cottages.

It is just a weekend though, and you may just enjoy exploring the village or rural area that you stay in, making good use of the local pub. Almost all holiday cottages will have a DVD player so that you can take a good film along to watch in the evening. You could count stars in the night sky and show off your knowledge of the constellations, in which case, you should choose a rural cottage away from street lighting.  Completely different activities will mark this romantic break as exciting and special. Browse cottages for two and see which one inspires you to escape to the country.
