Spring is the perfect time to plan a getaway to the British countryside. The fresh weather encourages exploration of historic stately homes, buzzing seaside towns, verdant natural attractions, gastropubs with world-class chefs and green rolling hills as far as the eye can see. This year, from southwest England up to the Isle of Skye in the far north, there are some very exciting arrivals in the hospitality space. The openings come as travelers are increasingly choosing to stay in the UK for vacations, due to the cost-of-living crisis and a desire to avoid chaos or strikes at airports. Here are six of the best new places to stay, depending on what you’re looking for this spring.
