Unforgettable family holidays
Fancy searching for shells before breakfast? Spotting deer as you picnic in your garden? Playing board games in front of a crackling fire? When you stay with us, you’re guaranteed a holiday the whole family will remember forever.
Plus, every time you stay with us you help us to look after the place you’re staying in and contribute to the restoration of other special places too.

Get ahead of the game and start planning your 2020 holiday. Why not book a post-Christmas break the whole family can look forward to? Enjoy family bike rides along the coast and walks through frost-covered woodland, then return to your holiday cottage for games in front of the fire, hearty dinners and a cup of hot chocolate.
As the sun comes out and the weather warms, May half term is the perfect time to get the whole family outdoors. Whether you’re a beach lover aching for days at the seaside, gearing up for the next big countryside adventure, or simply want to enjoy quality time as a family, our holidays are sure to be a family favourite. Take your pick from beachfront cottages, forest campsites and sprawling country farmhouses.
The crunch of leaves beneath your feet, the taste of the fruit harvest and the smell of an open fire – autumn is a feast for the senses. Our cosy holiday cottages offer the perfect base for an October half-term break. Choose from woodland hideaways surrounded by dazzling autumn colour to garden retreats in the grounds of historic houses.
Why not take the family on a camping holiday this year? From woodland pitches to sites near the beach, take a look at our best campsites and find one near you.
These are our real 'wow' moment cottages - from Rapunzel-esque towers, to castles on cliffs, Victorian lighthouses or a former observatory. One thing's for sure, you won't stay anywhere else that's quite the same.
If you need half term inspiration take a look at our coastal cottages, and start planning your next family adventure. For sea-kayaking and paddle-boarding, cliff-top rambles and ice cream treats.
