Bank holiday hideaways

 

The bank holidays offer moments to pause, gather and slip away. Easter marks a return to the outdoors, with garden breakfasts and bluebell walks. Early May brings gentle spring days, made for picnics and pools. By late May, summer is close enough to touch – al fresco dinners linger long into the night. And then August: shaped by tides and trails, barbecues and beaches. Our homes are made for these moments, where memories take root. With long weekends the first to be snapped up, planning ahead ensures you won’t miss out.

From the creators of Bestival, Carnivāle is a waterside home that sleeps 10. With kayaks, paddle boards, an open-air kitchen, and a garden pool, this is a no-need-to-leave estate, unless the pull of the 70-mile-long coastal path on the doorstep is too strong.
