  5. A Burning Romance – the Enduring Appeal of a Real Fire Cottage

A Burning Romance – the Enduring Appeal of a Real Fire Cottage

Real Fire Cottage

Let’s be realistic – we live in the UK, so while winter is almost behind us, and spring is starting to show signs of wakening, there’s still an undeniable charm in escaping to the crackling warmth of an open fire, where the outside world fades away, and cherished moments with friends and family take centre stage. 

Premier Cottages has a large selection of over 570 holiday cottages with real fires across the UK and Ireland. Whether you seek the intimate ambiance of a romantic retreat with a log burner or the rustic allure of a country home boasting a grand open fire, these cottages promise an idyllic backdrop for shared experiences. 

What sets these getaways apart is not just the flickering flames that dance in the open fire, but the thoughtful touches provided by our Premier Cottages owners. When you choose to stay with a Premier Cottages member, the logs and/or coal are provided throughout your stay as part of our All Inclusive policy, ensuring that every moment by the fire is effortlessly enchanting.

Here are just a few of our luxury cottages with an open fire:

Set in Knowstone, North Devon, Luckett Farm encompasses an idyllic retreat where comfort, stunning views and warmth converge. Wake up to panoramic views over Exmoor, and let a stroll through rolling hills unveil the natural beauty of the Great British Countryside. As the night descends,  return to Luckett farm and cocoon yourself in the warmth of a crackling fire. Whether you choose ‘Hawkings Hideaway’ or the Grade II listed ‘Tumbledown Barn,’ the soothing bubbles of the hot tub create a perfect evening escape.
