Start planning your half-term break
Whether it's just for the weekend, a mid-week break or the full school holiday week, you're guaranteed an unforgettable break when you spend your half-term holiday with us.
Look forward to the school holidays together, and make plans for a half-term getaway.
Searching for shells before breakfast... Spotting deer from the garden... Playing board games in front of the fire... Stay with us for a holiday the whole family will remember.
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.
