Forget the fuss of flying and make your first stop as newlyweds at one of these unforgettable destinations in the UK!
There’s nothing mini about these minimoons. Whether you want to max out on spa, sea or city, we’ve found the perfect place for you to escape to after the big day.
Stargaze in Somerset
Country just got seriously chic. Stay at The Treehouse at Harptree Court and you’ll enjoy your own secluded treetop retreat, complete with a cosy log burner and wrap-around stargazing deck, plus one of the dreamiest copper bathtubs (with a view!) we’ve ever seen.

Say spa-aaah in Scotland
On the shores of a loch in the Scottish Borders stands Stobo Castle Health Spa – and we’ll warn you now, it ticks pretty much every minimoon box out there. Four-poster bed? Check. Decadent three-course dinners? Check. State of the art spa? Check, check, check! Book the Cashmere Suite for an incomparably sumptuous stay at this romantic castle.
Cuddle up on the Devon coast
Does a luxury boutique hotel, perched beside Devon’s dreamy Babbacombe Bay, sound like bliss to you? How about if we throw in a seaside spa, a gastro menu that changes as often as the tides and stunning accommodation that redefines the meaning of beach huts, without scrimping on charm? Cary Arms & Spa is home to all of this and more. All the more reason to make it your first choice for minimoons.

Love luxury in London
Boasting unbeatable views and an iconic location in its own right, the Shangri-La Hotel At The Shard is one of the most sought-after spots for minimoons in the capital. We recommend the exclusive Signature Suites. Check into one of these and you can enjoy London’s landmarks from your ultra comfy, body-contouring bed, while your personal butler keeps your Champagne flute filled.
Cue all things quirky in Beaconsfield
If you’re bored of one-size-fits-all hotels, then the only place you should be checking into is The Crazy Bear Beaconsfield. Nothing is what it seems at this 15th-century coaching inn, where a charming façade leads into a mind-bogglingly marvellous collection of opulent and eclectic interiors.
