Gather your gang—because the Wye Valley is calling, and it’s bringing the wild. If your idea of a perfect weekend involves a bit of mud, laughter, and a “who screamed the loudest” competition, this one’s for you.

If your ideal weekend includes paperbacks, Pinot, and passionate debate over fictional characters, the Wye Valley is calling.

The Wye Valley isn’t just a feast for the eyes — it’s a genuine treat for your tastebuds. This year, it’s overflowing with foodie finds, from riverside pubs to Michelin-starred dining. Here’s a bite-sized guide to the best flavours in the valley.

This slice of the UK is a goldmine for foodies – think award-winning ciders, vineyard tours with a view, rustic farm feasts, and country pubs doing Michelin-level meals without the fuss.

Thinking about a UK getaway for up to 35 of you that’s actually relaxing, wildly beautiful, and not packed with day-trippers every five minutes? Forest of Dean might be the most underrated spot in the country.

Think a big family holiday sounds expensive? Think again. When you split the cost between everyone, a large holiday home can work out cheaper and much more fun than a hotel.

Nestled between England and Wales, the Wye Valley is one of the UK’s best-kept secrets – a lush, leafy river valley just an hour or so from Bristol, Cardiff, or Birmingham. It’s officially an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and unofficially a dream come true for anyone organising a getaway for a big bunch of humans.

If you’ve ever tried planning a group trip and ended up in a spiral of WhatsApp chaos, you’ll know how hard it is to please everyone. Enter: the large holiday home with a games room.

Think golf is just for retired blokes in Pringle jumpers? Think again. The Wye Valley offers some of the most scenic, soul-soothing courses in the UK – all without the snobbery. Whether you’re a seasoned player or someone who’s only ever swung a golf club on the Wii, this glorious bit of the world is the perfect place to give it a go.

Looking for a proper get-together with family or old friends – but don’t fancy driving halfway across the country? You’re in luck. Just an hour from Birmingham, the beautiful Wye Valley is packed with countryside charm, woodland walks and – most importantly – big houses built for big memories. At Big House Holiday Lets, we offer large holiday homes sleeping 12 to 40 guests. So whether you’re planning a family reunion, a birthday weekend or just a long-overdue catch-up with the crew, we’ve got the space, the hot tub, and the views.
