A Springtime escape to remember

It’s the time of year when summer’s bustle starts to quieten, and the pace slows. Families head home, and the season shifts into something softer – long, golden days, warm evenings, and gardens still in full, late-summer bloom.

Across the country, festivals and events fill the calendar, offering something for every interest. For those who love the outdoors, there are open-water swims, countryside walks, and outdoor pursuits to dive into. Equestrian enthusiasts can seek out horse trials or local shows where eventing, dressage, and show jumping take centre stage.

For a truly rural day out, country fairs are a September staple. They bring together the best of the countryside – from livestock and horse shows to baking, flowers, crafts, and rows of trade stands where you’ll find everything from homemade treats to sturdy wellies.

And for food lovers? September is a month of flavour. Food and drink festivals pop up across the UK, with artisan stalls, cookery demonstrations, tastings, and workshops celebrating the season’s best produce.

Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend, a group getaway, or a solo escape to recharge, our hand-picked holiday homes are the perfect setting for a September break.
