For a romantic holiday for two, it's hard to beat this rustic, lakeside home in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Escape with your loved one and enjoy bubbling in the hot tub or watching the wildlife as you walk around the lake – it's a real, rural paradise. As you arrive at this stunning, homely cottage, you can't help but admire the lakeside setting, with spectacular views and decking that encourage relaxation under the sun's rays. Let yourselves inside and discover a wonderfully quirky, open-plan lounge/kitchen. At the heart of the space is the striking wood burner, which is fabulous after chilly strolls in the countryside, and a Smart TV and Bluetooth sound bar to set up the entertainment for the evening. In the adjoining kitchen, prepare homecooked meals for two as you continue to chat through tomorrow's plans and serve up over candlelight. Spend endless hours bubbling in your own private hot tub as you gaze out over the beautiful vista or try something different by bathing in the quirky beach area with a meal cooked from the sizzling BBQ. When night falls, tuck yourselves into your handmade king-size bed. Featuring a fascinating driftwood light fixture which is carefully reclaimed from the lake, this rustic-style bedroom makes for a cosy night's sleep. Start your day by pulling on your luxury robes, making a piping hot brew and sipping it alfresco as you listen to the birds rise and shine. There's so much to see and do while using this property as a base. Enjoy canal-side walks or cycles and head to the village of Newport (1 mile), known for its gorgeous views, peaceful atmosphere, and modern amenities. Drive 4 miles to North Cave, where foodies will thrive in the choice of pubs and restaurants offering homecooked fare of hearty proportions.
