Holiday cottages for March

Skip into Spring as the countryside bursts into life

March is a delightful time for a getaway. Gardens begin to burst into colour with daffodils, crocuses and hyacinths, while lambs start to appear in the fields. Villages slowly wake from their winter slumber, offering a quieter, more peaceful setting to explore.

Booking a stay in March means you can enjoy the sights without the crowds. Arboretums and landscaped gardens across the country are coming to life, making it a wonderful time for gentle strolls among the blooms.

It’s also a month full of anticipation and excitement, with major events popping up around the UK — from horse racing festivals to food and music fairs. Whether you’re drawn to the buzz of the grandstands or prefer watching the world go by from a cosy local pub, you’ll find something to suit your pace.

For active adventurers, March is a great time to take on a new challenge. Popular cycling and walking events begin to appear on the calendar, offering scenic routes through countryside and coast alike. You don’t need to be a seasoned athlete – there are usually distances and routes for every level.

Prefer a slower pace? March is ideal for relaxed breaks too. Think pretty villages, inviting cafés, and peaceful walks through countryside that’s just beginning to bloom. Wildlife is more active, the days are getting longer, and the promise of spring lingers in the air.

And with Mother’s Day often falling in March, it’s a lovely opportunity to plan a special treat – perhaps afternoon tea in a charming tearoom, followed by a wander through an historic town and a few nights in a beautiful cottage.
