Short Breaks


Most of the time our holiday properties book out for the Full week (7 nights), however there are times during some Off Peak periods or last minute where Short Breaks may be arranged with certain properties. They can be either 3, 4, 5 or 6 nights and are priced accordingly. Please remember that all short break enquiries have to be checked prior to booking, simply find your perfect cottage, get in touch and we will help finalise your enquiry either email or phone our Reservation Team .

Treat someone special to a romantic trip away

After a day spent cycling through the twists and turns of our country lanes, enjoying a leisurely picnic lunch in a tucked away spot and finishing off with a tasty cream tea in the late afternoon, you arrive back at your cosy cottage to make plans for the night ahead. Should you take a stroll on the beach at sunset followed by a delicious meal at a local eatery or stay in for an intimate evening, curled up in front of a roaring log fire?

This is just one of many perfect days you could spend on a romantic break in the South West with Farm & Cottage Holidays. With its beautiful settings, pretty towns and villages and fine local produce, the West Country has much to offer couples looking for a memorable holiday and our superb selection of romantic properties include desirable locations throughout Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset.

When it comes to a romantic break, we know it’s the special touches that make it a holiday to remember. That’s why every property in our collection of romantic cottages features a little something to set it apart from the rest.
