Planning a cottage holiday and looking for cooking classes nearby? From pizza making to pastry workshops, there are so many culinary courses out there, your holiday home will never be far from one.
Taking a cooking class with the kids is a great rainy day activity or otherwise a lovely way to connect with your other half during a romantic weekend break. It’s also great fun for hen parties and corporate retreats and in our larger properties, you could even arrange for the chef to bring the course to you.
Our luxurious hand-picked cottages come with well equipped kitchens for you to come back and put what you’ve learned into practice. Stoke up the fire, pop a bottle of bubbly and get creative – you never know what a country kitchen overlooking some of Britain’s most beautiful landscapes will bring out of you.
The Cotswolds is proud of its artisanal heritage, from pottery to cuisine. Although there are various cooking workshops around the county, two places in particular have a reputation for their culinary courses and they’re both in Gloucestershire where we have an array of cottages nearby.
At Thyme in Southrop, step inside a restored Roman manor and gather your ingredients from the kitchen garden before mastering a new dish or pastry under expert instruction. There’s a spa and wellness centre there too if you want to make a day of it. And in Moreton-in-Marsh, there’s a chance to truly experience farm to table dining at Daylesford Organic Farm’s cooking school. Your class will take lead from mother nature in that the dish you make depends on what’s in season.
Wherever you go, reflect on the day’s culinary triumphs (or disasters) over a glass of bubbly in one of our spacious converted barns or contemporary cottages, relaxing on a plush sofa gathered around a crackling fire or outside in the hot tub.
If food is your love language, browse our collection of romantic cottages across the UK and search for cooking classes nearby. It makes for the perfect treat for Valentine’s, an anniversary or just a Tuesday night in March.
Trade your seaside chippy in Devon for a home cooked seafood feast with the day’s catch at a coastal cooking class or base yourselves in Berkshire and bake to the same backdrop the Great British Bake Off contestants do each year at the Welford Estate.
From secluded snugs to rustic treehouses and holidaying like a celebrity chef in five-star luxe, browse our range of couple’s getaways to find the perfect pad for you.
Round off a day of connecting in the kitchen by charging your glasses and spending the evening stargazing on the patio or cosy beside the fire with a good film on (psst… it’s okay to kiss the chef here).
