If you’re staying close to home for a post-wedding minimoon Scotland has plenty of beautiful retreats to explore and unwind in.
Read on for just two of our faves…
What could be more romantic than running off to a luxury treehouse with magnificent sea views, tucked away on the wild and beautiful North Uist in the Outer Hebrides?
At Uist Forest Retreat you’ll have a choice of three secluded forest cabins – Cailleach-oidhche (Owl), Damh (Stag) and Iolaire (Eagle), all of which boast a king size bed, a wood burning stove and a freestanding double-ended bath with a picture window to make the most of those views.
This is a nature-lover’s paradise, and the forest is by the Committee Road, one of the most popular stops on the RSPB bird of prey trail.
Keep an eye out for the white-tailed eagle, the short-eared owl, and many other raptors, while deer sometimes wander right past the cabins.
Whether you fancy exploring outdoors or just cuddling up by the stove and enjoying the view, you’ll love your minimoon here.
The hideaway Experience
Nestled in the Angus hills near Dundee, The Hideaway Experience claims to be “the ultimate adult only 5-star romantic destination” and it’s easy to see why.
Choose from five secluded hideaway spaces with panoramic views, hot tubs, saunas and double baths, along with the option to add unforgettable experiences.
The Hideaway Experience specialise in honeymoon packages, which can include spa treatments in the comfort of your own hideaway, a concierge service (before and during your stay), and a wedding night chauffeur service.
The Hideaway’s honeymoon planning service will work with you to design a bespoke experience with all the indulgences of a 5-star hotel.
Helicopter arrival perhaps? No problem.
Or why not wake up to a decadent Champagne breakfast?
We can think of worse ways to begin married life!
