a family relax in a bhhl garden

You don't have to board a plane to enjoy an unforgettable holiday. In fact, more people than ever are rediscovering just how much the UK has to offer. From spectacular scenery and charming market towns to fantastic food and outdoor adventures, a staycation can be every bit as memorable as travelling overseas – without the airport queues or luggage limits.

If you're looking for somewhere that combines beautiful countryside with plenty to see and do, the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean should be at the top of your list.

Slow Down and Enjoy the Journey

One of the biggest advantages of a UK staycation is that the holiday starts as soon as you leave home.

Instead of worrying about passports, baggage allowances and flight delays, you can pack the car, choose your favourite playlist and enjoy a scenic drive through some of Britain's most beautiful countryside.

Better still, you'll have the freedom to bring everything you need – walking boots, bikes, board games, the dog's favourite bed (and the dog!) and enough snacks to keep everyone happy.

Something for Everyone

The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean are perfect for groups with different interests.

Some people might spend the morning paddleboarding on the River Wye, while others browse independent shops in Ross-on-Wye or Monmouth. Keen walkers can explore peaceful woodland trails, while those looking to relax can simply enjoy a leisurely lunch beside the river.

There's no pressure to do everything. The best holidays are often the ones where everyone gets to enjoy the things they love.

Time Together Matters Most

Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, organising a family reunion or catching up with friends you haven't seen for years, a large holiday house gives everyone the chance to spend quality time together. At BHHL we have 16 lovely large houses for you to choose from.

Cook a meal together, enjoy a barbecue in the garden, challenge each other in the games room or simply relax in the hot tub after a day of exploring.

Those shared moments are often the memories that last the longest.

Discover Somewhere New

Even seasoned travellers are often surprised by just how much there is to discover closer to home.

The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean are packed with hidden gems, from riverside walks and ancient woodland to historic castles, welcoming country pubs and picturesque villages waiting to be explored.

Every visit offers something different, no matter the season.
