The sun is trying to shine?, snowdrops are flowering, chocolate is (already!) lining the supermarket shelves… Easter is on its way!
 
There’s no better time to get away than to a UK Easter cottage - whether it's a fun-packed group holiday, a family escape or a relaxing romantic break.
 
If you need an excuse to go in search of the Easter Bunny this year, here are 5 great reasons to tempt you to one of our Easter holiday cottages…

1 Relaxation

Burrows, Devon

Think back. Did the Christmas break really allow you to unwind? For many of us, it was more of a stress-inducing week disguised as a holiday! So make the most of the Easter break to recharge your batteries. From cosy boltholes perfect for couples, to a large retreat to house your friends or extended family, Staycation has an Easter cottage to suit. Features range from open fires to swimming pools, hot tubs and even spa and gym facilities, depending on how much stress-reduction you require! And to help you take it easy, many of our cottages offer private catering or a dinner delivery service.

2 Spend quality time

 
Okay, holidaying with kids will not mean the kind of luxurious relaxation that comes with the couples holidays you used to have before they came along. Lie-ins, for instance, are probably a thing of the past. But without the usual responsibilities eating into your day, booking an Easter cottage will allow you time to reconnect with your family and friends. Get your competitive spirits going with some friendly board games, outdoor and indoor games. Or set out on a springtime ramble and talk, laugh and relax together.

3 Fantastic Easter events

 
Whichever Easter cottage you choose, pretty much every attraction will be cracking on with special Easter events that the whole family will love. And, lo and behold, the majority of them involve copious amounts of chocolate! Look out for egg hunts at the beautiful National Trust properties near your Easter cottage. Egg decorating, baking events and fancy dress parades are just a few other activities you can expect to enjoy at your Easter holiday cottage.

4 Celebrate Spring

 
Easter comes at a fantastic time of year when the newly emerged flowers are at their waxy freshest, the air is filled with bird song and baby animals fill our fields! A spring walk or trip to a farm park during your Easter cottage stay is a fun filled day out for the whole family. There’s plenty to enjoy from swathes of daffodils to nesting birds and gamboling lambs. Feeding new-born lambs and kid goats, holding tiny chicks and little bunnies will make memories for your little ones to last a lifetime!

5 Build special memories

 
Easter is an opportunity to do something different, go somewhere new and create special memories; be they romantic, with your kids, or with friends. As springtime brings longer, milder days, an Easter cottage offers the ideal opportunity to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. It’s amazing how much your children develop during holidays when their senses are exposed to new territory and adventures. Soak up the gentle sun, walk the woods and beaches, enjoy the big skies and the crisp air. They’ll love exploring new sights with you from your Easter cottage!
