UK Minimoons

Celebrate the start of married life together with an unforgettable minimoon (short honeymoon) in one of our luxury cottages. If you haven’t got time for a long honeymoon just yet or simply fancy a fuss-free, quiet escape to relax and recharge after all the excitement of the big day, minimoons are a fantastic idea.

We have a wide choice of cosy and romantic cottages to choose from all across the UK. Whether you are looking for a cottage with country walks from the door and a log fire to hunker down beside in the evening with a glass of wine in-hand, or perhaps you prefer the idea of a gorgeous cottage with sea views and pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, we have something luxurious to suit.

From coastal holiday homes in Cornwall, to quaint cottages in the Cotswolds, to countryside retreats in Wales to remote escapes in Scotland, we have plenty of inspiration for you.

Our collection of cottages for minimoons offers the finest accommodation in fantastic destinations where you and your beloved can enjoy spending time together in comfort and luxury.

Minimoons with Log Fires

Looking for a cosy minimoon destination? Our selection of minimoon cottages with log fires are perfect for any romantic escape. Each cottage has its own charm and every single one is handpicked by our experts to ensure that they are perfect for your minimoon. Whether to warm up a chilly spring night or to thaw out on returning from a beautiful winter walk, a log fire adds an extra romantic touch to a holiday for two.

FAQs

A minimoon is a shorter honeymoon taken soon after the wedding, usually lasting a few days. It’s ideal for couples who may not have time for a long honeymoon straight away or who want a relaxed, romantic escape after the excitement of the big day.

Many couples choose a minimoon as a peaceful getaway to rest, recharge, and spend quality time together before planning a longer trip later on.

Luxury Cottages offers minimoon cottages across the UK, including:

  • Cornwall – Romantic coastal escapes with sea views and beach walks

  • Cotswolds – Honey-stone villages, cosy pubs, and countryside charm

  • Wales – Quiet rural retreats surrounded by nature

  • Scotland – Remote landscapes and dramatic scenery

These destinations provide a mix of coastal cottages, countryside hideaways, and secluded retreats, ideal for couples looking for privacy and relaxation.

Yes, many minimoon cottages feature cosy log fires or wood burners, perfect for creating a romantic atmosphere. After a day exploring the countryside or coast, couples can relax by the fire with a glass of wine and enjoy a peaceful evening together.

A minimoon typically lasts between two and five days, making it perfect for a long weekend or short break after your wedding.

Because it’s shorter than a traditional honeymoon, it allows couples to take time to unwind together without needing extended travel or planning.

Here are some ideas to make your minimoon extra special:

  • Choose a secluded cottage for privacy and quiet time together

  • Look for features like a hot tub, log fire, or countryside views

  • Arrange special touches on arrival, such as flowers or Champagne

  • Plan romantic activities like sunset walks, cosy pub dinners, or spa treatments

  • Disconnect from everyday life and focus on celebrating your new marriage

Luxury Cottages’ minimoon collection focuses on romantic cottages designed for couples, helping you enjoy a peaceful and memorable start to married life.
