A Few Handy First-Timer Tips
Booking a large holiday house is exciting. Whether you're organising a family reunion, celebrating a special birthday, gathering old friends together or simply escaping for a long weekend, having everyone under one roof creates the kind of memories that hotels simply can't match. If you've never booked a large holiday house before, though, you might be wondering where to start. How many bedrooms do you really need? Who brings what? How do you keep everyone happy? The good news is that it doesn't have to be complicated. A little planning before you arrive means you'll spend less time organising and far more time relaxing. Here are a few simple tips to help make your first group getaway a complete success.

BHHL are not party houses, they're get -together houses
If you're searching for a large holiday house, you've probably noticed something interesting. Every other property seems to call itself a party house. But here's the thing... Not everyone wants a party. Some people simply want everyone they love under one roof.
The Weekend That Feels Like a Proper Break
Some weekends disappear before they’ve even properly started. You finish work on Friday, spend Saturday catching up with everything you didn’t manage during the week and, before you know it, Sunday afternoon has arrived and you’re already thinking about Monday.
Why September Might Just Be the Best Month for a Big Group Getaway
The summer rush is almost over. The school holidays are drawing to a close, the busiest weekends are behind us and suddenly something rather lovely happens across the Wye Valley, Forest of Dean and surrounding countryside.
Creative Retreats in the Wye Valley: The Perfect Painting Weekend
There’s something rather wonderful about going away for a weekend with absolutely no intention of rushing anywhere. No packed itinerary. No alarm clock. No need to squeeze ten attractions into two days. Just a beautiful house, a group of people you enjoy spending time with, a pile of paints and sketchbooks – and some of the loveliest countryside in Britain waiting outside the door.
