If you’re in the UK, you might have noticed the first teeny tiny signs of spring: the snow drops and daffodils popping up.

There is truly no better feeling than knowing that sunnier and longer summer days are on the way. But instead of just jumping straight to summer, I get so excited for the spring. Everything feels so alive in the spring.

So, if you’re like me and want to plan some spring getaways in the next couple of months, here are some top rentals we’ve found. Make sure to keep reading to see the details on the incredible manor house for sale in Dorset, too.

Holiday Rentals of the Week

I’ve found two rentals in Scotland that exude so much charm and elegance, one that’s more ideal for a couple and one that’s larger for group getaways. Even if you’re not booking a trip, just browse through the incredible design of both these homes.

You can even rent this next one on Airbnb for just $174/night — such a steal. It’s got every thing you’d want from a cottage rental, plus it’s walking distance to the Stow’s high street.

And if you’re looking for things to do while you’re there, see our guide to Stow-on-the-Wold.

Real Estate Listing of the Week

If you dream of having a manor house of your own one day, you must see this house for sale in Dorset. Calling it a “house” almost feels demeaning. It’s grand, regal, stunning — with one of the most incredible gardens I’ve ever seen. I mean just look at those hydrangeas.

Dating back to the 13th century, this 9-bedroom, 6 bathroom residence blends medieval charm with Georgian elegance. The grade 1 listed manor also sits within 103 acres of Dorset countryside. I mean, you’d never have to leave.
