Enjoy a romantic break away with these top cottages for a weekend getaway in the countryside…
There is nothing quite like a cottage break to truly relax. You get the chance to snuggle up in your own cosy house, perhaps listen to the crackling of a log fire, and have a romantic time with your other half. It offers a chance for you to cook up delicious meals in the kitchen, or wander to a local country pub for some traditional pub food. You can go on long walks through the countryside and spend your evenings looking up at the stars in the clear skies. Here are our top cottages for a weekend getaway in the countryside from Bramley & Teal…
