Heavenly Hangouts
From sun-soaked beach boltholes to tucked-away country cottages,
uber-chic apartments to fabulous farmhouses, we have uncovered some
seriously special places to stay. And with those romantic and
beyond-luxury added extras - such as a hot tub or a bath for two, they
are perfect for a honeymoon or incredibly special hen weekend
experience.
Our passion is to provide a boutique hotel experience whilst offering privacy like that found in your own home. Our unique collection of luxury retreats have been carefully hand-picked within the best areas of Cornwall and Devon - from St Ives to Salcombe - so whatever you're looking for in your honeymoon, we can find it for you.
It's the finishing touches that change an ordinary holiday home into a boutique retreat. From a bountiful welcome hamper, a bath for two with a view to swoon over to the largest, softest most beautiful four-poster bed, our retreats turn your 'moon into something magical.
And it's about those memory-making experiences too - watch the stars float above the sea from your own hot tub, raise a flag on your own private island, arrive at your retreat by boat, enjoy a meal cooked for you in your own retreat by a Michelin-starred chef, try a spot of sunset surfing and even forage for your dinner with an expert, it's these little extras that make all the difference, and we're on hand to help.
Whatever your style - vintage, beach-chic, country elegance or ultra-modern - each of our boutique cottages has been lovingly designed for the perfect end to your wedding celebrations. We know how good getaways should be.
The beach house
Watching a pod of dolphins playfully shimmy their way across the water from Burgh Island Hotel's private Beach House must be one of the most achingly romantic ways to spend your honeymoon.
Devon Honeymoons
First built in the 1930s as a writer's retreat, Agatha Christie is amongst the most famous figures to be inspired by this sensational setting, while Wallis Simpson and Edward VII relished its seclusion and sense of romantic escapism. Rebuilt in 2007, the new incarnation is a sleek apartment-suite that literally hangs over the sea. The contemporary interiors are flooded with natural light while a snug bed boasts views across the water to Bantham Beach.
Devon Honeymoons
Enjoy the deliriously beautiful vistas from sunrise to sunset with only the robins, cormorants, seagulls - and maybe the dolphins - for company.

The Fernery
Devon Honeymoons
In winter, relish being snuggled on the large leather sofa as you watch a Netflix movie in front of the log fire before bedding down in luxury in the super king French bed; or jump in the private Beachcomber hot tub in the Mediterranean style garden during an alfresco summer's evening.
Whenever you visit, the lap of luxury and style is yours for the duration of your magically distinctive 'moon.

The five star gold luxury hideaway epitomises style and luxury, boasting two en suite bedrooms, open plan lounge/diner and designer Italian kitchen. It's all sensuous wooden curves and clean lines but with a touch of modern sophistication and high tech facilities such as Sonos music system, 50inch 4k TV with FreeSat and Netflix, IPads and a spectacular freestanding William Holland copper bath and private hot tub on the floating balcony to sink into.
Meanwhile, The Nest hosts fine dining overlooking the lake and valley, The Meadow Room presents a peaceful place to enjoy a pampering treatment or retreat to the secluded Grill-Haus for a fairy-tale esque dining experience amongst the woods.

The gorgeous four-star boutique hotel blends sweeping seaside views with recently refurbished interiors, affording eye candy both inside and out. And with the award-winning hotel's array of luxury amenities such as their HarSPA (complete with lap pool, hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room) and outdoor terrace with heated swimming pool, every element ensures a spoilsome and stylish stay.
Rooms come with 24-hour room service, 400 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, Nespresso coffee machines, flat-screen TVs, complimentary gin and sherry, cosy bathrobes and slippers, and White Company toiletries as standard; while superior sea view rooms also boast private balconies and seating areas to soak up even more of those spellbinding oceanic vistas.
In addition, the Upper Deck restaurant and bar prides itself on serving locally-sourced, seasonal produce (along with those to-die-for views), allowing guests a full sensory experience all under one fabulous roof.
And if you fancy exploring the hotel's environs or sampling some of the abundance of activities available, everything from beach picnics to kayak tours and walking can all be enjoyed in and around the hotel's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
