The Beast from the East’s icy grip on Britain is still a recent memory.
But now, locals and international visitors alike can heave a sigh of relief: spring is officially in full swing in the UK.
This can only mean one thing: the nation’s fantastic natural beauty is blossoming once more. The best way to enjoy it? With a tailor-made Hoseasons holiday in an iconic location.
Think the rolling hills of Highlands and North Devon’s rugged coastlines. Think forests across the region, bursting with bluebells (although, they’re only out for a limited time only – so go now!).
Here, we look at six lodge-holiday options enjoying stellar views of the UK’s most beautiful scenery…
The Scottish Highlands cover a staggering 30,659 km². As such, these charming lodges feel like they overlook never-ending beauty – namely, the gentle green slopes of Angus Glens’ Clova Valley.
Part of the luxurious Autograph Lodge Holidays Collection, two of the spacious, open plan lodges available sleep two people, while one sleeps four and one sleeps six. A bar and restaurant are also available at the on-site Glen Clova Hotel.

Nothing epitomizes the surfer heaven that is North Devon better than the friendly beachside town of Ilfracombe. A short walk outside the town, on the edge of the beautiful Exmoor National Park are these pretty beach hut-style lodges.
Offering affordable luxury as part of the Bouja Luxury Boutique Breaks Collection, these charming, sea-view accommodations offer direct access to the beach. All the lodges sleep two people.

From sea views to lake views, and from England to Wales: specifically the island of Anglesey, just off the country’s northwest coast.
Another member of the Autograph Lodge Holidays Collection, these 11 lodges cater for various party sizes (starting with two people, with some going up to six). Enjoy the nine acres of beautiful, serene lake-scattered scenery on your doorstep.
