For many brides and grooms-to-be, the wedding day is not the only part of getting married to be excited about; as well as a life-long future together, there’s the honeymoon to look forward to! With the recent announcement to increase guest capacity at weddings, the wedding industry is raring to go. But with so many travel restrictions in place, and such uncertainty ahead of us, the traditional idea of a tropical honeymoon paradise may have to be adapted.

Rather than forego the honeymoon, why not consider a honeymoon, or indeed a minimoon, in our Great Britain instead? Staycations are, understandably, growing in popularity, and it’s about time the UK gets the recognition it deserves. Consider the benefits: shorter travel time, no language barriers, no luggage restrictions and (usually) the benefit of having your own car.

One of the UK’s most desirable and sought-after locations is Cornwall. Offering miles of sandy beaches, turquoise waters, stunning coastlines and beautiful countryside, not to mention the exquisite food and drink on offer in the county, it really is a little piece of paradise.

Aspects Holidays, a local holiday letting agency in Cornwall has some of the most romantic holiday homes available for honeymooning in Cornwall, take a look at some of our favourites below.

After a day exploring the area, the newly married couple can sink into the steamy hot tub, glass of bubbles in hand, before whiling away the evening snuggled together in front of the roaring woodburner.
