How safe is an HF Holidays' break?

Adventure Activities Licensing AuthorityWhere appropraite, all our family holidays provide your family with home from home comfort in which to indulge your chosen activities. Expert guidance and tuition, where appropriate, ensure that you and your family benefit from a safe environment, giving you extra peace of mind.

All our UK Classic Walking and family holidays are licensed by the Adventure Activities Licensing Authority. Children under 14 need to be accompanied on walks by a responsible adult (though this need not be a parent or guardian).

What facilities are available at UK Country House accommodation?

A number of our Country Houses offer heated indoor or outdoor swimming pools, ready for all of you to take a refreshing dip. Or how about some fun golf or tennis? If you'd rather sit quietly in a corner to catch up with today's newspapers, the kids won't mind, because they will be busy making new friends. If you don't choose a special family departure and you'd like to check that there will be other children on your chosen holiday, our Reservations team will be pleased to advise you. The fun doesn't stop after dinner - how about a treasure hunt or a hilarious game of rounders to really get to know everyone? After all that excitement, the kids will be more than ready for a good night's sleep and to bring the day to a relaxed end.

Can HF Holidays cater for special requirements?

We provide your family with everything you could possibly need. From highchairs at mealtimes to hire of papooses for carrying little ones on walks and from family rooms to cots to make it feel just like home. If you have a specific need it is essential you contact well in advance of your holiday, so that we can make any necessary arrangements.

What meals are available?

Mealtimes shared with the whole family can be fun - and we will be pleased to prove it! At breakfast you have the choice of a range of cereals and fruit, but if something more substantial is to your taste, then why not order a cooked breakfast. Your picnic lunch is selected from an extensive buffet, which includes many tasty, healthy snacks such as muesli bars, fruit and made-to-order sandwiches. All meals, including the three course evening meals, are taken in the spacious dining rooms, where roomy tables offer enough space for all of you, although your children may want to share their meals with their new found friends. Welcoming and attentive service adds to the comfortable atmosphere. As you would expect, our staff will be more than happy to warm up bottles and any baby meals you wish to bring.
