Personalised, Offline Matchmaking for Verified Singles in the Countryside
West Country Singles, Introduced Personally
From the edge of Exmoor to the far end of Cornwall, the West Country is some of the most
beautiful, and most spread out, countryside in Britain. It is a wonderful place to live
and a surprisingly hard place to meet someone new.
Country Partners has been introducing countryside singles since 1983, and the South West
has long been one of the places our members call home. We are an offline dating agency:
no public profiles, no swiping and no strangers. Every member is interviewed and verified,
and every introduction is chosen by a matchmaker who understands rural life.

A Quieter Frustration
Why Meeting Someone in the West Country Can Be Hard
The things that make the South West special are the same things that make dating difficult. Long, narrow counties. Villages that are twenty minutes apart as the crow flies and an hour by lane. Market towns where you already know most people your age, and most of them are settled.
For those who farm, run a rural business or work the land, the calendar adds another layer. Lambing, silage, harvest and the summer season all take their turn, and "free on Saturday" is rarely a given.
Everyone Knows Everyone
In a small community, privacy matters. Many of our South West members tell us the reason they never tried online dating was simple: they did not want their neighbours, customers or colleagues to see them on it. With Country Partners, nobody sees anything. Your search stays between you and your matchmaker.
A Private Alternative
A Personal Alternative to Online Dating in the South West
Online dating gives you a long list and leaves the rest to you. Our members, many of whom have tried it, found the problem was never the number of profiles. It was knowing who was genuine, and who actually wanted a rural life rather than the idea of one.

West Country Singles FAQs
Do you have members in the West Country?
Yes. The South West has long been one of the areas our members call home, particularly Devon, and we introduce members across Cornwall, Somerset, Dorset and the neighbouring counties.
Do I have to travel for my interview?
No. Your profiling interview can take place by video call, so there is no need to travel.
Will I only be introduced to people nearby?
That is up to you. Your matchmaker will ask how far you would be happy to travel, and introductions reflect that. Some members prefer to stay local; others are open to anywhere in the South West or beyond.
Is this a West Country dating site?
No. We are an offline dating agency. There is no website to browse and no public profiles. Our matchmakers personally select and arrange every introduction.
How do you keep my search private in a small community?
Your information is never published online. Details are only shared with another member when both of you have agreed to be put in touch, and every member is bound by confidentiality.
How much does it cost?
We offer membership options to suit most budgets. Your matchmaker will talk you through them at your free, confidential consultation, with no obligation to join.
