Easter is a great time of year to visit the English countryside and enjoy a relaxing homestay experience with us in Skillington. During this time the spring bulbs and blossoms should be at their best giving a fresh appearance in the villages and country lanes. The signs of new life in nature are abundant with the arrival of the young off-spring such as the lambs and chicks. To experience a British Easter in 2012 you need to visit us from Friday 6th to Tuesday 10th April..
Easter is a time to savour the flavour of traditional Easter food in our comfortable home. Take the opportunity of creating Easter floral arrangements or view the magnificent spring floral displays. Children and adults participate in a variety of fun activities during this time. Chocolate is plentiful, Easter egg hunts and decorative activities abound. If Egg Hunting is not your style then simply enjoy strolling the beautiful grounds of Belton House, one of the finest 17th century country houses in England. Explore the elaborately decorated interior, stunning painting collection and fine furniture on show.
The festival of Easter is the most important in the Christian calendar. This time of year is an inspirational time to visit England.
