New to the collection and Toadsmoor House isn't getting a quiet introduction.

A grand Victorian residence tucked into the Toadsmoor Valley, fresh off a full refurbishment finished this August (still that new-house smell). It sleeps up to 21 across 7 bedrooms, six of them en-suite, so nobody's negotiating over the shower rota.

Three separate living spaces including a snug and movie room, a drinks bar with its own glasswasher, and a secluded garden with a wood-fired hot tub, fire pit and gas pizza oven. Walking trails lead straight out the garden gate into the Cotswolds' Five Valleys.

Big enough for the whole extended family, the entire hen do, or every cousin you've ever had.

📍 Brimscombe, Cotswolds

We may have found the house that ends the “who’s hosting this year” debate for good. Meet Chipping Retreat.

Five minutes from Chipping Campden, it sleeps 10 across 5 bedrooms (four ensuite, so no queuing for the shower). Then there’s the bit everyone screenshots: an indoor heated swim jet pool, a cedar sauna with rainbow LED lighting (yes, that’s a real sentence), and an 86-inch cinema room for the mornings nobody’s getting dressed.

Set on 5 acres with a log burner for later and a baby grand piano for anyone claiming they can play. 60th, big family reunion, whatever the occasion, this one’s built for it.

October half term has a habit of sneaking up on you. One minute it’s summer, the next you’re up at 11pm googling “family cottages with a hot tub”.

Save yourself the search. Games rooms, log fires already going, dogs welcome, and enough bedrooms that nobody has to share with the sibling they’ve fallen out with this week.

Some homes still have plenty of half term availability, others are already gone, so this isn’t one to sit on.

Autumn cosy season is around the corner, and No.2 Steading heard you before you even asked.

Tucked away on the Glen Dye Estate in Kincardineshire, this one sleeps 4 across 2 bedrooms. There’s a wood-fired hot tub in your own private yard, a log burner for when the Scottish air does its thing, and a Gozney pizza oven plus Big Green Egg for anyone who takes dinner outside seriously. South-facing windows keep the countryside views coming even when you haven’t left the sofa.

Beyond the door: 15,000 acres of estate to explore, a sauna and plunge tanks at the Discovery Centre, and a general store for when you inevitably forget something.

Say hello to the newest name on the Anglesey map: Ambleside.

Sitting in Rhosneigr on the island’s west coast, it sleeps 12 across 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. A great family stay, with your own hot tub and sea views thrown in.

The village is a short stroll away too, shops, cafés and a pub or two, so the car can stay parked once you’ve unpacked. Outside there’s a private hot tub doing exactly what a sea view hot tub should do, and inside, a wood burning stove for when the wind picks up (this is Anglesey, it will). Recently refurbished, open plan, and dogs are very welcome.

Robin Hood hid here. Secret church services happened here. Even the devil gets blamed for it. Not bad for one crack in the rock.

📍Back Forest

Lud’s Church is an 18 metre chasm cut into the Roaches by a landslip, and moss has since claimed every inch of it, floor to top. Walk in from the wide, bright openness of the Roaches and the whole world changes colour within about ten steps.

Every ledge down there looks like it’s hiding something, and 600 years ago, some of them were. A banned religious group, the Lollards, used to hold secret church services in here to avoid getting caught. Robin Hood and Friar Tuck are also said to have hidden out here, though neither left a review.

Fair warning: the steps are steep and the rock stays damp, so wear proper shoes, not trainers. You can walk in from the Roaches, the Back Forest or Gradbach.

This is the one we’ve been quietly sitting on until it was ready. Meet Rhosneigr Hall.

Eleven bedrooms, six bathrooms (plus two spare downstairs, just in case), and space for 22 across the Isle of Anglesey coast. There’s a hot tub, a sauna, a yoga cabin for whoever insists on a sunrise stretch, and a games room with a pool table, darts lane and its own casino bar. Yes, really.

For actual daylight, there’s an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, private gardens to spread out in, and Rhosneigr’s sandy beach and watersports scene five minutes down the road.

This is the “which room am I in” kind of holiday home. Sleeps a small wedding, comfortably.

This is your sign to celebrate a milestone birthday at The Paddocks 🥂

We hosted FREYA KILLIN., who brought the whole family together to celebrate her nan’s 90th birthday. It’s the perfect fit: this home sleeps 19 guests and sits on 13 acres in Essex.

Think swimming pool, tennis court, gym, a lake with its own boat, sauna, games room, and a BBQ & outdoor dining terrace for the whole party.

Make the stay your own with s’mores by the fire pit, the outdoor cinema fired up for movie night, and nobody in a rush to go back inside.

How much garden is too much garden? Coastal Manor says there’s no such thing.

Meet Coastal Manor, a Georgian country house on the Llŷn Peninsula with grounds that do a lot of the entertaining for you. Five acres of private garden, a gas BBQ smoking away, and outdoor seating scattered about for whichever faction needs to sulk in private after Monopoly.

Wander far enough and you’re on coastal walks with dolphins and seals doing their own thing offshore, beaches within 3 miles, and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park sitting right on the doorstep for anyone who suddenly remembers they like hiking.

Inside, it sleeps 20 across 10 bedrooms, all en-suite (we counted twice), a proper bar, and a w**e wall that’s clearly seen things.

Ski season has a funny way of sneaking up while you’re still deciding on summer plans 🎿

Good news: it’s not too late to bag the chalet. Think roaring log burners, hot tubs with the kind of mountain view that makes the ski hire queue worth it, and a boot room built for actually keeping the peace. Big tables for après drinks and second (or third) helpings of raclette.

Can’t spot quite the right one on the site? We’ve got hundreds more chalets that never make it onto the website. Message us and our concierge team will find your match.

Properly cosy, properly done. Book the chalet, not the excuse.
