If you’re planning a group getaway for the coming year, then why not gather your group in the countryside? We have some fantastic properties available, from farmstays in Yorkshire to magnificent country houses in the Welsh hills. All of the properties below can be booked direct with the owners, meaning you and your group get the very best rates — simply use the enquiry form on the page.

When booking a rural stay, we always recommend considering what’s important to your group. For instance, is the holiday house close to the local pub or village? Is it dog-friendly? Is the location central enough that all of your group can reach it easily? Areas like the Peak District, Yorkshire and the Welsh Borders offer some fantastic central locations for those travelling from the Midlands or north of England — the same too for Devon, Somerset and the south west for those coming from the south of the UK.

If you’re looking to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors while you’re away, make sure to check out our blog. We’ve got walking tips, dog-friendly activities and even ideas for cooking for a group.
