From Britain’s only walking co-operative, HF Holidays

HF Holidays own and manage 16 characterful country houses that are ideal as bases for a walking staycation. 

Located in some of the UK’s best-loved national parks or National Landscapes, HF Holidays’ houses put you in easy reach of postcard-pretty villages, big-name attractions, and iconic walking trails. 

They’ve got handy boot and drying rooms for all your walking needs, and with full-board dining included on every stay, you can relax knowing everything is taken care of. 

HF Holidays have picked out eight of their country houses that are perfect for a spring walking trip.  

At each house, the HF Holiday Leader will host a guided walking information briefing before dinner on your arrival day. They’ll fill you in on all the details about the following day’s guided walking options and be on-hand to give you tips on self-guided walking routes, as well as visit-worthy local attractions. Every house offers a choice of three guided walks every day – something for every interest and fitness level.
