Special birthdays and anniversaries

Honeymoons, Birthdays and Anniversaries

We are honoured that we are often chosen for engagements and proposals, honeymoons, weddings, significant birthdays and other special occasions and we go out of our way to make them more special. At the cottages (which are three individual houses in different locations, we are not a complex) we have all year round five star comforts, each in a tranquil rural setting.

A cottage stay makes a fabulous gift

We can “package” a holiday to be a Christmas present , Birthday gift or other surprise, supplying a suitable card for you to present as an announcement of your gift. If you are not able to come on the actual birthday or at Christmas this would make a great choice.

Extra arrival treats ?

If you would like more arrival treats (which could include real champagne, extra flowers, seasonal fruit, bathrobes , balloons, cakes, chocolates, cheeses, strawberries or a host of other options designed to please) just let us know your budget and we can arrange them for you.

Extra pampering , meals out or activities during your stay?

We can point you in the direction of golf courses, theatres, balloon flights, visiting beauty treatments, restaurant reservations, mountain biking, fishing guide, riding lessons and lots lots more. If you want to make it a 5* foodie break without going out we have a visiting chef service, fresh freezer fills can be arranged and our brilliant cook can do you canapes or main course dishes for your special meal at the cottage. Or try a vast range of restaurants and eatieries from the Michelin starred to the travelling chippie! Thanks to our visiting pamper therapist you can even be pampered at your cottage without lifting a finger- unless you'd like it painted! How about an aromatherapy massage and manicure as an extra gift? Just ask!
