The Most Romantic Spots in the South West
The South West has been one of the most romantic corners of the country and the perfect place for couples breaks. With its rugged coastline, golden beaches, hidden coves, and charming old towns, it’s a region that invites you to slow down, reconnect, and soak in breathtaking views together.
Our holiday parks sit amongst these romantic spots so here are some of the most romantic spots in Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset — guaranteed to make you fall in love all over again.
St Ives
Few places capture the romance of the English seaside like St Ives. Its cobbled lanes, whitewashed cottages, and turquoise waters could easily be mistaken for the Mediterranean. Spend your days wandering through art galleries, sipping Cornish coffee by the harbour, and watching the sunset over Porthmeor Beach. For the ultimate romantic moment, book a sea-view dinner at one of St Ives’ waterfront restaurants.
Looe & Polperro
The twin seaside towns of Looe and Polperro are perfect for couples seeking a blend of charm and tranquility. Looe offers long sandy beaches and bustling seafood restaurants, while Polperro’s quaint harbour feel straight out of a romantic film. Romantic idea: Take a boat trip along the coast between Looe and Polperro — you’ll discover hidden caves and possibly even dolphins!
Dartmoor National Park
For couples who love a wilder kind of romance, Dartmoor delivers. Its vast, open moorlands, dramatic tors, and ancient woodlands feel untamed and timeless. Find a hidden waterfall for a private picnic, explore the ruins of an old castle, or simply get lost in nature together. Romantic idea: Visit the romantic Wistman’s Wood, a mystical forest of twisted oak trees that looks like something from a fairytale.
Bath
Elegant and historic, Bath oozes old-world romance. From Georgian crescents to candlelit restaurants and Roman baths, it’s a city made for lovers. Walk across the Pulteney Bridge, soak in the rooftop thermal spa, and dine by candlelight in one of the city’s many hidden gems. Don't miss a couples’ session at the Thermae Bath Spa, where you can bathe together while gazing over the city’s skyline.
Clovelly
The timeless village of Clovelly is one of England’s hidden gems. With no cars allowed, you can wander down steep cobbled streets lined with whitewashed cottages, each one draped in flowers. At the bottom lies a tiny harbour where you can enjoy fresh crab rolls, spectacular sea views or a drink at The Red Lion Hotel.
