The British honeymoon spots to book this summer

  • From Spectator Life

While weddings have been given the green light to go ahead with (some) degree of normality, overseas holidays have not. This means that soon-to-be newlyweds dreaming of jetting away somewhere exotic after the ceremony will have to make alternative plans.

Fortunately there are plenty of very romantic honeymoon spots dotted around the UK. Here’s our pick of the best.

Isle of Eriska, West Argyll

A private 350-acre island, Eriska was for centuries only accessible at low tide, via ford, or by boat. Thankfully there is now a bridge so that visitors to the five-star Eriska Hotel can schlep over with their bags and golf clubs.

Otherwise you can catch the Caledonia Sleeper to Glasgow, hop on a train to Connel Ferry and get a 15-minute taxi to the hotel, meandering over the wooden footbridge for the last part.

The Scottish baronial mansion, which forms the main part of the hotel and dates back to the 1880s, has crenellated turrets and grey stone walls.
