A Big Get-Together Just Beyond Bristol

Sometimes the best way to bring everyone together is to get away from the everyday. And if you're based in Bristol, you don't have to travel far to find somewhere rather special.

Just across the Severn, the Wye Valley, Forest of Dean and Monmouthshire offer beautiful countryside, fascinating places to explore and spacious holiday houses where family and friends can spend quality time together.

Whether you're organising a milestone birthday, a family reunion or a long-overdue gathering of old friends, this wonderful corner of the country makes an appealing choice for a group escape.

Less Travelling, More Time Together

One of the great advantages of choosing a large holiday house near Bristol is that your getaway can begin without a lengthy journey.

Depending on your destination and traffic, parts of Monmouthshire and the southern Forest of Dean are about an hour's drive from Bristol.

That means less time travelling and more time enjoying the company you've brought together.

And when guests are coming from different places, having a countryside destination with good road connections can make organising a gathering much easier.

A Whole House to Yourselves

There's something wonderfully relaxed about having an entire holiday house for your group.

No separate hotel rooms, no arranging where to meet for breakfast and no need to rush through dinner because somebody else needs the table.

Instead, you can enjoy leisurely meals, comfortable sitting rooms and those spontaneous conversations that make group holidays so memorable.

The children can play with their cousins, grandparents can catch up with everyone, and old friends can pick up conversations exactly where they left off.

And nobody has to do everything together.

Explore at Your Own Pace

The surrounding countryside offers plenty of possibilities for days out.

Discover the atmospheric ruins of Tintern Abbey, enjoy riverside scenery around Symonds Yat or wander through the ancient woodland of the Forest of Dean.

For a gentler afternoon, explore the independent shops and cafés of Monmouth or simply find a lovely spot for lunch.

Some guests might fancy walking or cycling, while others would rather relax back at the house.

That's the pleasure of a group holiday: your house, your timetable.
