It's important to us that many of our large and luxurious self catering holiday properties are suitable for people who are not so able bodied; we don't want anyone to feel left out of a fabulous large group stay or big celebration, whether it's a family holiday, a hen party, or a corporate gathering.

Happy New Year Folks! We hope you all enjoyed the festive season and are looking forward to a very positive 2018, even if your waistbands are a little tighter and you’re feeling the need for fresh air and exercise!

Tis the season to be jolly, falalalala, lalalala! With less than a week to go, the Christmas spirit is really kicking in and there’s a sense of excitement in the air. The tree’s up, the wreath is hanging on the door, the turkey’s been ordered, cards written, the Christmas cake is snug as a bug in its tin, just the presents to wrap...

Imagine a Christmas stay with all your favourite people, the present opening under the tree, a table heaving with scrumptious food…. but it’s not always possible as there are other obligations, work commitments, friends and family in far flung places. So why not have a pre-Christmas get together, or just start your celebrating a little earlier this year?

Chink, fizz... we'll soon be celebrating New Year folks, and if you're still looking for a luxury large group getaway, then read on; The Benches is the perfect self catering accommodation for such special occasions!
