The UK and Ireland are both home to some spectacular areas of natural beauty that are perfect for an inspirational honeymoon with the love of your life. Blending together breath-taking views of soaring mountains, sweeping valleys and meandering rivers with quaint villages and historical architecture, you can have a relaxing break that the two of you will never forget as you celebrate your love for one another in an incredible place. There are countless holiday cottages available to rent tucked away in enchanting forests in Suffolk or settled in idyllic coves by the sea in Cornwall, and you will not have to travel far at all to be unwinding in paradise with your partner on your honeymoon.
These beautiful honeymoon cottages are luxurious and come equipped with everything you will need and more whilst residing in these comfortable accommodations. With spacious bedrooms, often with four-poster beds and cotton bed linen, en suite bathrooms with power showers and hot tubs, large living rooms with romantic fire surrounds and flat screen television sets, and fully-equipped kitchens and dining areas so you can prepare your favourite meals and enjoy them in peace and privacy, these cottages are perfect for a honeymoon and for those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of big cities and retreat to a cosy sanctuary in pure tranquillity. For complete luxury, you could rent a cottage with extra amenities on site such as a swimming pool and sauna, spa and tennis courts. Being able to go swimming with your loved one or get a full body massage together after going walking or exploring the local area is a wonderful luxury and there is no better holiday to indulge in this way than on your honeymoon.
Some inspirational honeymoon destinations in the UK and Ireland include the serene village of Waterville in County Kerry, Ireland. Set on the coastline in the Ring of Kerry, Waterville is home to quaint tea rooms, fantastic bars, pubs and restaurants, vast lakes and of course, charming cottages. It is perfect for a first break away as newlyweds as there are plenty of things you can do here as well, such as horse riding, cycling and canoeing.
Another brilliant destination for a self-catering honeymoon holiday is the Lake District. Home to charming villages and market towns such as Cartmel and Keswick, the Lake District is one of the most visually stunning places in England and there is always plenty to do here. You can take in the breath-taking beauty of Lake Windermere or explore where poet William Wordsworth one lived, on a romantic cottage honeymoon in the county of Cumbria.
Scotland is also home to incredible and inspirational areas of natural beauty, especially in villages in the Highlands. Seeing or ascending to the peak of the tallest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis, or exploring the Cairngorms National Park along with a few of the misty lochs is something that will stay with you and your loved one forever. Whitefalls Spa Lodges set in the spectacular Hebridean Isle of Lewis are a perfect choice for that unforgettable honeymoon escape to the coast.
