Often, luxury comes down to a feeling – it’s the sense that here, you’re somewhere extra special. This may be led by the ease of your surroundings, the attention paid to small (but important) details, or the quality of the overall experience. We hand-pick our Luxury Boltholes based on how and why they stand out: a wood-fired hot tub under the tree canopy, a gorgeous Georgian interior, or a beachfront garden leading straight onto the sand. No two are the same, but all are equally exceptional. 

If you’re looking for a romantic property with a hot tub, you’ll love our couples’ collection. Many have outdoor hot tubs, meaning you can sink into blissful warm waters, whatever the season. You’ll also find other indulgent facilities, too – our portfolio includes homes with plunge pools, swimming pools, saunas and fire pits.

When it comes to location, we know what our guests are looking for. We have boltholes in the heart of Chichester’s city centre, but many more are in the picturesque English countryside. If you’re dreaming of a rural idyll, where you can wake to peaceful birdsong, our secluded cottages are just right. Some are set on historic estates, within private parkland, while others are tucked away down country lanes.   

We have a number of properties ideally suited to luxurious couples’ breaks. Among them are woodland hideaways with hot tubs, and city-centre boltholes just a short walk from fantastic restaurants, bars and cultural hotspots. Through our concierge, we can also book extras such as private chefs and spa treatments for your stay.

If you’re planning a romantic getaway, we’re on-hand to help make it special. Through our concierge service, we can even work with you to craft a tailored experience. This may include flowers and pre-chilled wine on arrival, a private chef for intimate meals, or a surprise activity such as a hot air balloon ride, gin tasting, or even a Spitfire flight. Just let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll make it a reality. 

Short stays can be just as meaningful as longer holidays, so if you’re looking ahead to a midweek break or weekend away, we can help. Lots of our properties are happy to welcome guests for just two or three nights, depending on availability. 

If you’re looking for a dog-friendly couples’ retreat, you’re in luck – lots of our romantic boltholes are happy to welcome pets. And, because many have generous gardens or acres of open space, these are stays that suit everyone. Just check the ‘Finer details’ section of a property listing if you’re unsure.
