Eat, sleep, walk, repeat: A fresh taste of HF

Our gorgeous country houses have had a menu makeover! We've always recognised that food is one of the most important aspects of your holiday, so we pay particular attention to providing cuisine that stands out for its quality, flavour and provenance. Now though we've upped the ante with a fresh selection of dishes; we can’t wait for you to try it as part of your walking holiday with HF.

Take a seat at one of our tables; we’ve worked it out so that the experience will be completely safe, relaxing and more than a little bit special. Cold beer, local ales, beautiful wines and gins sourced from close by will all make an appearance at our country houses too.

Then sit back and celebrate local food as we share with you our love for the great outdoors by ensuring that you're properly fuelled to explore it. We'll wager you won't walk this off. See you soon!

All house stays are full board.
