People who HAVENT spent a fortune on honeymoon

[mrssunshinexxx]

Where did you go and how long for ? X

Tunisia. It was about 6 years ago though so pre the current terror situation.

We had seven nights only as dh is a TA. So it was a case of where can we go which flies on day one and comes back on day eight. Got a week AI 4* school hols for 300 quid each.

4 days in Cornwall - lovely!

We haven't had a honeymoon yet, we've been married 5 and half years and im still holding out hope we will get one, one day. But with 3 kids and other commitments like work and family we just haven't had it

Two weeks in Pembrokeshire in a cottage - we were both pretty tired from organising the wedding, and hadn't lived together before, so wanted time to spend together without feeling we 'had' to be out a lot seeing the sights; we could have afforded something more spectacular, but saved that for another time.

Costa Adeje in Tenerife in June. Think it was about £800 each all inclusive and it was a 5 star hotel.
My parent's had theirs in a cottage in Dorset and got amazing weather for the week

Drove down west coast of Scotland -four days and cost about £500.

We had 2 weeks in a beautiful 5 star cottage in the Lake District, it was 9 years ago now but I’d guess it cost us about £1200. Was pure bliss, and we had the most wonderful time

ours was cheap too, we didn't have one.
just a simple wedding, quite cheap, just a meal afterwards and no reception.
For us it was being married not the wedding.
Just celebrated 25 years together and had a few nights in Amsterdam to celebrate

My brother went to Malawi and stayed in a treehouse, they didn't have much money at the time. Bought fish cooked it over a fire.

Not had one yet! Only been 9yrs though. Will plan something for the 25th anniversary like gilly

Thank you so much to each of you who has replied it has really helped - lots of idea and suggestions ! X

3 nights in London, sightseeing and going to see a show. Loved it.

I’m on mine!! Edinburgh for 4 days. Prob spend about 500 quid in total.

We did a week in a lovely lodge with a hottub and sauna.

So nice to just kick back and relax after all the fuss of the wedding.

BnB on Jersey

We went to Bourton on the Water and stayed in a beautifully posh hotel. The best I've stayed in before or since. It was December 2000 and we had a wonderful time. Cold but lovely.

Lake district but in a lovely hotel. It was in the middle of winter and lovely snuggling in front of the fires, eating lovely food and just being together.

We his ourselves away in a cottage in the Scottish countryside. We'd been on quite a few long haul trips while dating and renovated a house while planning the wedding. We just wanted a simple relaxing honeymoon that wouldn't cost the earth.

We got married 32 years ago and all we could afford was a cheap cottage in the Lakes for a week. It was cold and damp and I got a chest infection so we came home early! Thankfully we have had some very lovely holidays since then.

Venice for a week. Avoided eating or drinking in main tourist areas. Small apartment, mostly just walked about and hung around. Not expensive.

We booked a holiday cottage for a week in the Lake District 2 days before the wedding and only paid £200. It was lovely and the owners left us a bottle of wine, posh chocolates and a wedding card. My DH particularly loved the full length bathroom window (not privacy glazed) and the fact he could ‘poo with a view’!

Scotland for a week. Stayed in hostels and went on a Haggis tour.

Rome for 5 days. It was wonderful. Both DH and I had been before but never together.
You’ll have the most amazing time however much you spend. It’s as a pp said, the luxury of uninterrupted time spent together is priceless.

2 weeks on the Amalfi Coast. We went half board in a nice hotel. Loved it. Can't remember the coast as over a decade ago but wasn't very expensive as it was June.
I like the idea of a cabin in the Scottish Highlands for a week in Autumn. Long walks, fires, wine and the usual honeymoon activities.

Lovely b&b in Scottish countryside. We'd done a lot of travelling together and had planned a wedding whilst renovating a house. We just didn't want the stress of planning another big trip. Scotland was our first holiday together and we love it there. Just the two of us, walks in the fresh air, open fire in the evenings, catching up. Perfect. It doesn't have to cost a fortune to be exactly what you need.
