Friday Evening: Arrive And Unwind
There’s nothing quite like having a getaway made for switching off from the week and breathing in the fresh country air. Our holiday cottages in Somerset are ideal for couples looking to explore the beauty of the UK countryside.
Nestled within a private lake and scenic landscapes, holiday cottages offer immediate calm from the moment you arrive. Our holiday accommodation in Somerset is designed to feel like a true home away from home. Thoughtfully furnished and fully equipped with everything you need to shape your couple’s holiday in Somerset exactly how you’d like it.
On your first evening, you might pour a glass of wine and watch the sun set over the lake, prepare a relaxed dinner together in your private kitchen, take a walk around the grounds or simply curl up and enjoy quality time together.
Saturday Morning: Explore Somerset
On Saturday, you can wake gently to countryside views. One of the things that makes Lakeview the best UK weekend getaway for couples is the slower pace. With your own private space, there’s no rush, letting you work on your own schedule.
After a leisurely breakfast, it’s time to head out. The location of our cottages in Somerset means you’re perfectly placed to discover Somerset at your own pace.
For Outdoor-Loving Couples
If your ideal romantic break includes fresh air and scenic walks, with this couple’s holiday in Somerset you’re spoilt for choice.
The nearby Quantock Hills offer sweeping views, woodland trails and peaceful picnic spots. Or venture slightly further to Exmoor National Park for breathtaking moorland and coastal scenery.
These landscapes create the perfect backdrop for meaningful moments together, whether you prefer a gentle ramble or a longer countryside hike.
For Town and Food Enthusiasts
If you’d rather explore independent shops and cosy cafés, the historic town of Bridgwater is just a short drive away. Wander through local boutiques, visit a farm shop for regional produce, or stop for coffee and your favourite slice of cake.
Somerset is well known for its artisan food, so you might choose to pick up some fresh produce to enjoy back at your Lakeview holiday cottage in the evening.
Saturday Evening: Dine And Relax
No guide to the best weekend getaway for couples in the UK would be complete without mentioning food.
Somerset’s charming countryside pubs offer local and delicious food with a relaxed atmosphere. Or choose from the plenty of nearby restaurants that serve a range of dishes, perfect for a weekend treat.
One of the pleasures of staying in our holiday cottages for couples in Somerset is having your own private dining space. Many couples choose to cook together using local ingredients and enjoy a leisurely evening in the comfort of their cottage.
Sunday: A Gentle Farewell
On your final morning, you might take one last lakeside walk, enjoy a relaxed brunch or simply savour a quiet coffee before you leave.
