The Great Getaway began with a simple frustration.
As a large and growing family with four children, we found that when we travelled together, the places we stayed rarely matched the way we lived at home. Accommodation was often practical, but not comfortable. Large, but not considered. Designed to sleep people — not to hold them.
There was rarely space for everyone to gather properly, and just as rarely somewhere quiet to slip away with a book.
So we decided to do something about it.
“We were drawn to each of the properties by the privacy and peace it afforded, whilst having breathtaking walks on its doorstep. Birdsong and a beautiful light awaken the day. Spaces have been created for groups to come together in communal areas or for those seeking peace away from a busy world, quiet spaces to retreat to and to relax.’

We began creating houses that felt like real homes — places that could comfortably hold different generations, different rhythms and different needs, all at once.
Homes with:
Places where children, parents, grandparents and friends could all feel equally at home.

At the heart of The Great Getaway is a belief that time together is precious — and increasingly rare.
Our houses are designed to make that time feel unhurried.
To let life slow down.
To give people space to reconnect, talk, walk, read, swim, eat well — and do very little else.
They are places where memories are made quietly, across generations, without the need for entertainment or agenda.

Because this began as a family project, we host with care.
We know what matters when you’re bringing people together — the logistics, the comforts, the small details that make a stay work smoothly. We’ve thought them through so you don’t have to.
Every house in our collection has been shaped with that same intention.
The Great Getaway continues to grow slowly and deliberately.
Each new house is added because it fits the same philosophy:
homes that feel considered, comfortable and quietly special — places people return to, and talk about long after they’ve left.
