We have hunted around our plethora of cottage delights to find a couple of unusual holiday cottages sure to put a smile on both of your face’s this Valentine’s Day.

If you fancy cosying up by the seaside, have a look at Little Dukes cottage. One of the smallest buildings in Padstow, it’s charming, cute and the perfect place to whisk your other half away to. Explore the quaint streets bustling with lovely pubs and shops, dip your toes in the sea and be able to curl up by the woodburner after days out. For those with sea legs, what could be a better surprise than a stay in 40ft cruiser Yacht? Moored up at the Mayflower Marina is Cloud 9. Spoil your better half with a surprise break in Plymouth. Guaranteed to be a trip to remember, have a chat with the captain to arrange nautical trips out too.

Although Valentine's is about just the two of you, if a few of your friends are struggling for ideas then why not take a trip together?
