Fancy a week away from the computer or mobile phone? Keen to drag the kids away from the television for a week of fresh air and quality time together as a family? There is no better time to book your Easter escape with The Landmark Trust.
We have something for everyone from Easter baking in the cosy kitchen at Cawsey House, or watching your children from the verandah, gleefully search for eggs in the fairytale surroundings at Swiss Cottage.
The Landmark Trust is one of Britain's largest building conservation charities, dedicated to restoring historic buildings at risk and giving them new life by making them available for extraordinary self-catering holidays, with rental income paying for the buildings' on-going maintenance.
The House of Correction
Folkingham, Lincolnshire - Sleeps 4 - £918, £46pppn (based on 4 sharing)
The House of Correction shares the site of the once great castle that dominated the village of Folkingham in the Middle Ages. Children can delight in playing Kings and Queens in this former prison whilst adults can take a break from the rat race, sitting in front of the fire with a good book.
Endsleigh, near Tavistock, Devon- Sleeps 2 +2 - £1183, £60pppn (based on 4 sharing)
For something a little different this Easter why not delve deep into the heart of Devon by staying at Swiss Cottage near Tavistock. This rural setting is perfect for a digital detox, and for planning exciting Easter egg hunts around this wonderfully eccentric chalet.
Llanarthney, Carmarthenshire - Sleeps 5 - £931, £38pppn (based on 5 sharing)
An expanse of country side surrounds this early 19th-century Welsh cottage, the perfect place to experience British spring time, as both plants and animals start to awaken from their deep sleep. If, however, you walk a hundred yards or so up the small green hill behind, to the foot of the Tower, there, in the opposite direction, is a view – that must surely be one of the best in Britain.
Cawsey House
Great Torrington, Devon - Sleeps 7- £1234, £36pppn (based on 7 sharing)
Causey House makes an excellent base for family gatherings this Easter. The house's light and elegant rooms make them a pleasure to live in and its open fire make this anatmospheric and sociable space. Why not whip up a tasty batch of Easter cakes or eggs in baskets in the spacious kitchen?
Gargunnock House
Near Stirling, Central Scotland - Sleeps 16 - £2753, £35pppn (based on 16 sharing)
The large and elegant dining room and drawing room of Gargunnock House make this a perfect venue for a larger gathering, if for you Easter is the time of year to get the whole family together. If this sixteenth-century tower house, five acres of mature parkland, woodland and a walled garden is not enough for you, Stirling Castle lies nearby to explore.
