Hidden within the grounds of an 18th century windmill you will find a romantic retreat just for two. This contemporary cottage in the historic village of Braunston is the perfect place to relax with a loved one.
Braunston is famed for being the place where the Grand Union and Oxford Canals meet and Braunston Mill Cottage is a cosy, quiet base from which to explore the area. Snuggle up in the lounge in front of a DVD, cook a candlelit dinner in the modern kitchen, have a soak together in the enormous round bath and then laze on the leather bed in a fluffy dressing gown. Or take a dip in the private hot tub which is maintained at a temperature of 38 degrees. Heaven.
Braunston has a long history that goes back to the Doomsday Book and there’s plenty to see and do here. A canal side walk will take you past chandlers, boat builders, souvenir shops and the Old Pump House with its enormous chimney, and you must visit the extensively restored Marina. Royal Leamington Spa and Stratford upon Avon are within an easy drive and Warwick Castle is a must-see. Shopaholics can head to Bicester Village for a bargain, Birmingham’s NEC Arena hosts lots of top concerts, and motor sports fans can visit Silverstone. Alternatively, have a day at the races at Towcester, pilot your own canal boat, have a massage in the village or play a round of golf at one of the numerous courses nearby. And there are lots of pubs and restaurants to try – see the website for some suggestions.
