Book with us for country breaks in the UK and enjoy savings of more than 50 % off! This autumn and winter it makes sense more than ever to take country breaks in the UK rather than to risk trying to fly abroad. We just don’t know what new restrictions could be introduced and let’s face it, holidays overseas just aren’t the same these days. Have a happy break on the home turf instead.

You must admit, we’re very lucky in the UK because we have some beautiful scenery – scenery that people come from all over the world to see, like the Lake District, The Cotswolds and of course, The good old West Country. That’s where you’ll find our luxury holiday houses, tucked away in the beautiful Blackdown Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty that straddles the Somerset and Devon border and is blessed with miles and miles of gently rolling fields interspersed with woodlands and farmsteads that have been in the same familes for centuries.

There’s a certain way of life in the Blackdowns, you see, a way of life that makes you want to sigh, to slip your boots off and put your feet up. It’s fair to say the pace of life slows down, so with that, the copious fresh air, far reaching views and the general peace and quiet, you’ve got all the ingredients for an entirely relaxing country break in the UK. Whether you want to go and explore or whether you want to stay put is up to you, but we’ll tell you what – if you do stay put you won’t be bored, far from it! Our stunning group accommodation has everything you could possibly need to ensure everyone is happy as a pig in muck! Doesn’t matter if they’re 12 or 92, there will be something to keep them happy because we’ve got private indoor pools, hot tubs, games rooms, saunas, play areas for the little ones, and get this, we’ve even got those lovely BBQ lodges where you can get together and sizzle sausages of an evening – even if it’s raining cats and dogs.

It’s not very often you get the chance to snap up such great value country breaks in the UK with more than 50% off of some dates, but due to inevitable cancellations, that’s the situation. So, grab yourselves a big hearty slice of country life and come on down, breath nothing but fresh country air, stride out across the fields for walks, come back and get nice and toasty with a mug of hot chocolate and a plate of hot buttery crumpets to share. Get your Speedos on for a few lengths in the pool, have a family competition in the games room, then tuck into a wholesome dinner made with an array of locally grown and raised produce. If you like your meat, get organised and order a delivery from Stillmans butchers; succulent steaks, beautiful bangers, the choiciest chops and jolly good joints for roasting. Imagine the mouthwatering aroma (this is making us hungry!)…

If you want to go out and see what’s about round these parts you’ll find a few family attractions are still open this time of year, including Crealy Theme Park & Resort and Wildwood Escot, and that there are several good places to eat, though bear in mind you’ll need to book in advance. You can visit several local beauty spots, like Wellington Monument and Culm Beacon if you don’t mind the climb (worth it for the views!) and it won’t take you long to get to the beaches on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site where you can discover the picturesque little village of Branscombe, the quaint fishing village of Beer, and Lyme Regis with its historic harbour wall and long sea front.

We promise you, you’ll love a stay at one of our beautiful holiday homes, in fact we’re quite confident that you’ll wish you could stay longer, or that you’ll be back again in the not-too-distant future. It’s the perfect solution for when you want an autumn or winter break as you don’t need to rely on good weather because there’s plenty to keep you all amused indoors. We have to follow the Rule of 6 of course, unless your family group or support bubble is bigger than that, and you must respect the advice for travelling, or not travelling between the different level Tiers (for the latest advice please see https://www.gov.uk/guidance/local-covid-alert-levels-what-you-need-to-know). If it’s safe to do so, go for it, treat yourselves to an autumn or winter country break in the UK and snap up those amazing prices of more than 50% off!
