An update on Church Stretton
Thanks to your investment, Longmynd House is undergoing a £1.2 million makeover. The first phase is already underway and includes updates to the dining room, lounge, and staff accommodation, plus an all-new outdoor terrace area to replace the pool. There are plans to refurbish guest rooms using British-made carpets and soft furnishings and give an external facelift that pays homage to the building’s Edwardian past. We’ve also taken a leap into the future by installing charging stations for electric vehicles.
The house will re-open in March 2023, so book now for an even better experience at our country house in the rolling Shropshire Hills.

A celebration of Cèilidh
We’re offering an evening of cèilidh entertainment on a selection of holidays at our UK country houses. You can spend the day enjoying guided and self-guided walks or special interest activities before letting loose with our live band.

Member booking improvements
We've made some changes to our website.
Now, when you book your holiday online, you can enter the email address associated with your membership, and you won't be charged the £30 non-member fee.
It's a small change that we trust will make a big difference for our members.
Increase your shares
As the UK’s largest holiday co-operative, all surplus goes back into the business and benefits our members. Every bit of new or increased investment is used to expand and improve our country houses, reduce our carbon footprint, and build financial strength – all of which helps attract future generations with an interest in the great outdoors.
Your donations
For many years, our Pathways Fund has provided assisted holidays to those who could not otherwise afford one. Since 1998, the fund has helped to protect and improve the countryside where HF Holidays guests and members walk.
