We can even recommend some romantic things to do to make your break extra memorable.
Tips: If you are booking a cottage with a hot tub and want exclusive use and privacy, check whether the facility is shared with anyone else before booking. You may need to take towels for the hot tub and plastic glasses if you want to enjoy a glass of bubbly whilst soaking! We also recommend you finding out whether the hot tub will be warmed to a desirable temperature before arrival. If the cottage has a fire, check if fire wood is provided and if not, pick up a bag of dry wood, fire lighters and matches in advance ready for your first night. You may also wish to take a bottle of champagne chilling in the car ready to enjoy as soon as you arrive?
