Temperature: 19°C high; 13°C low Season: spring Travel time from UK: 2 hours 35 minutes Time difference: GMT +1 Nothing brings a spring to the step quite like the sight of Italy's glorious Amalfi coast. Particularly in March, when its vertiginous twists are bathed in a daily average eight hours of sun. Cliffs plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea, topped with grand palazzos and smart hotels. Narrow, Roman lanes are stuffed with limoncello stalls flogging the boozy spoils of Sorrento's famous fruit. Its snoozy air and pastel-coloured houses are pure Italian cinema: you might even swear you've seen a young Sophia Loren looking impossibly saucy by the quay. Do as the Italians do and spend the lazy, romantic days enjoying a long aperitivo . Don't miss fresh fritto misto at Marina Grande, the town's old fishing harbour, or Michelin-starred Il Buco in the cellars of an old monastery, where chef Peppe Aversa serves seasonal ingredients under a stone-hewn, vaulted ceiling.

After the year we've all had, most of us are in desperate need for a holiday - be it a staycation or a luxury round-the-world trip.
But while we're often all too ready to jet off somewhere new and exciting, our holidays away are notably less fun for our dogs, with man's so-called best friend often being packed off to a relative or the kennels.

However, with a 650 per cent rise in people looking to adopt a doggo in lockdown, more and more people may be looking to take their puppy pals on holiday with them - and now, there are a number of UK destinations that are pooch-perfect.
One such pet-friendly getaway is to the remote Wisteria Cottage in rural Wales. The cosy but luxurious hideaway welcomes up to three (well-behaved) dogs if you book their dog package with a minimum of three nights stay, and has plenty for both you and your pet to do.

Offering temporary dog tags, dog tick removers, toys, treats and even Pawsecco so your dogs can get in the holiday spirit, Wisteria Cottage features plenty of exciting activities for you and your pup.
With lakes, streams and waterfalls all nearby, the idyllic location provides some brilliant backdrops for a long dog walk. And that's not mentioning the number of pubs and sights to see that owners can get stuck in to.
If the Welsh countryside is not your scene, a trip down to Dorset may be a better fit for you and your pup.

Only six miles from the beatific Chesil Beach, Blagdon Lower Barn features a kennel plus an external tap for your dog to wash off after big days out. Fit for two dogs, the cottage also features a gorgeous open fire, a luxury welcome hamper and acres of land for you to explore.
But if you want to truly splash out and live in the lap of luxury with your dog, then we can't recommend the Lower Curscombe Barn more. At an eye-watering £904 with a minimum of three nights stay, the property features high-fences to stop more intrepid dogs from escaping, but also features abundant wildlife, six luxury double bedrooms and your very own stream for your pups to paddle in.

All availability is currently subject to the ongoing Covid-19 social distancing rules - with England currently on full lockdown until 2nd December.
Properties are expected to fill up fast, so get booking!
Everything you need to know to have the best woodsy getaway in 2021. This camping cottage, as it's classified, can be found at French Creek State Park, just an hour outside Philadelphia. It's one example of cabins in Pennsylvania state parks. (Photo courtesy of Pennsylvania State Parks, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) With the warm weather upon us, you've probably been looking at your calendar, hoping to plan a getaway. I have a suggestion: Stay in one of many cabins in Pennsylvania. As my family has discovered over the past decade, the Pennsylvania state park system offers affordable cabin and yurt options that are comfortable, nostalgic and wonderfully woodsy. (Yes, you can bring your dog to some.) Plenty are within an easy drive of the Philadelphia area. And with high elevations, swimming lakes and waterfall hikes, there are plenty of options for cooling off. Here, a guide to how to do it best. PLANNING YOUR TRIP Where are these state parks?

Susan Law Cain/Shutterstock With their gable roofs and symmetrical windows, colonial houses can make quite a statement. Classic, elegant, and charming, they've become embedded in the white picket fence, American dream imagery. According to Wentworth Studio, the colonial revival began in the 1880s and lasted until around 1945. The simplicity of these homes makes them the perfect candidate for additions, alterations, and renovation. American colonial homes tend to have a symmetrical floor plan, with the front door right in the middle of the front exterior and usually flanked by large columns and tall windows. They are impressive buildings, and flippers and renovators enjoy bringing these houses up to a modern standard. Sometimes it's a s...
