Regarded as one of the most romantic hideaways in Britain, the Dovecote would certainly fit the bill for most lovebirds.

The former dovecote, which fell into disrepair in the early 20th century, has since been restored and converted into a cozy self-catering love nest which can sleep up to four people, though would be ideal for two.

Within the one-meter-thick walls are a glass-fronted balcony bedroom, a glorious wooden lantern roof and a sauna.
