Chevaliers Gatehouse - Shropshire - Oliver's Travels
There’s no place like the UK in the spring, watching our blooming countryside come back to life again. So, why not enjoy all it has to offer in one of our cosy family holiday homes? We’ve rounded up our favourite homes for Easter weekend breaks UK, covering top-notch cottages and large holiday homes, helping to make it that much easier to plan your next trip in April.
Nestled within 38 acres of private woodland and parkland, Colleton Hall and East Wing offers the ultimate country escape if you’re looking for total tranquillity.
The present owners have lovingly refurbished the hall, enhancing its original features while timelessly blending them in with updated furnishings. It’s outside where the real magic happens though, setting the stage for long walks through the totally private woodland and alongside a stream which flows to the Little Dart River.

Heading inside, you’ll find stylishly decorated interiors plus a cosy reading nook and open fireplace – ideal for those who like to indulge in a little alone time.

You’re also positioned right on the Cornwall/Devon border – scenic day trips and beach visits await!

A stay at Loch Lomond Manor includes an entirety of things: BBQs in the garden, walks along the loch, sun-lit afternoons by the tree swing and day trips to the Highlands and beyond.
The house itself was built in 1902 by a husband and wife team, who were part of the Glasgow boys and Glasgow girls’ group of painters, needlewomen, architects and artisans. Creatives to the core, they injected their love for art into the tapestries and artwork that adorns the manor today. The five bedrooms are equally unique and welcomingly cosy, plus the bathrooms contain extra-large bathtubs – get the bubbles going!
