Planning a weekend away in the South West? From delicious seasonal tearoom treats to cliff-top castle walks, the South West of England is packed full of exciting opportunities. Discover the myths of Tintagel Castle, the dramatic birthplace of the legendary King Arthur, soak up the history of the iconic Stonehenge or wander the cobbled streets of a Cotswold village. Searching for an enchanting short break? Whether it’s a romantic holiday, a getaway with friends or a family break, the South West is the place to go.

Short Breaks for Couples in the South West

This area of the UK is perfect if you’re looking for a countryside retreat or a sleek city escape. Head down to the utterly beautiful cliffs and beaches of Cornwall for a seaside break to remember. Or, whisk your loved one away for a romantic short break in Dorset to remind them just how much they mean to you. Perhaps pair it with an authentic afternoon tea in a quaint tea room or an indulgent three-course dinner for two. Whether you’re looking for a 5-star hotel, a boutique B&B or even a luxurious yurt, we’ve got something that will tick all the boxes.

Pair it with a day out, a dining experience or perhaps a water sports adventure, heading back to a luxurious hotel for a night of relaxation. If you’re looking for a minibreak in Somerset, we’ve got you covered!

Great few nights

My husband and I were gifted this for our birthdays and we chose the Noel Arms in Chipping Campden. It was such a lovely hotel, with lots of character and interesting features. We had a great nights sleep and the room was perfect for what we needed. Breakfast was delicious and staff were very friendly - nothing was too much trouble.
