Walking, Sightseeing & Special Interest Holidays

Leading the way since 1913

A reputation for excellence

We’ve been leading the way for walking holidays since we were founded in 1913. Built on word of mouth and personal recommendations, we are proud to be Britain’s only walking holiday co-operative. Backed by more than 35,000 five-star Feefo reviews, our dedication to delivering exceptional experiences is also recognised with multiple awards, including Which? Recommended Provider for Escorted Tours 2025 and Best Escorted Tour Operator at the 2025 Telegraph Travel Awards.

“Booking is always easy either online or by phone where the service is always very helpful and friendly. I recently enjoyed a great few days at Larpool Hall. Whitby on a seven night Guided Walking holiday in North Yorkshire. Accommodation was very comfortable with a varied choice at dinner. The walks were very good in the beautiful countryside both inland and on the coast with three excellent leaders.”

Mr Horner, North York Moors Guided Walking, Aug 2025

HF Holidays walkers, Carding Mill Valley, Shropshire Hills

Over the past year, I have had the privilege of meeting many of our guests and members, whether on walks, over dinner, or during evening socials. What shines through every time is that it is not just where we go that matters, but the people we share those moments with. That sense of community has been at the heart of HF Holidays for 112 years.

As we look to 2026, I am delighted to share our latest collection of holidays. From our 16 UK country houses, to destinations across Europe and the rest of the world, we have created a wide range of experiences to suit different interests and abilities. Whether guided by our volunteer leaders, exploring independently, or joining a cultural or special interest holiday, you can be confident that every detail has been carefully thought through.

As Britain’s only co-operative walking holiday company, owned by our members yet open to all, we reinvest in the things that matter most - our houses, our leaders, and the landscapes we walk. Through our Pathways Fund and B Corp commitments, your holiday also helps protect footpaths and support communities, safeguarding the outdoors for future generations.

Wherever your next journey takes you, we look forward to welcoming you.

Best wishes,

Chris Simmonds CEO of HF Holidays

Holnicote House Team, Exmoor

walking holiday co-operative Britain’s only

Making a bigger difference as a co-operative

As a co-operative, we are guided by our members. Their voice benefits every guest, whether they are a member or not. Our ethos means that all surplus is reinvested in the business, especially our 16 characterful country houses. We listen to all opinions, integrating these into our activities as we continue to provide enriching holidays that connect people with a love of the great outdoors.

Become a member and enjoy exclusive benefits, from influencing decisions to enjoying a wide range of special discounts, including up to £80 off your holidays. For more information, turn to page 6-7, speak to our friendly team, or visit hfholidays.co.uk/membership

Our mission is to create community, connection, and a true sense of belonging in the great outdoors.

The simple act of walking in beautiful landscapes continues to inspire the same spirit of togetherness that shaped our creation over a century ago.

We are proud to be Britain’s only walking holiday co-operative, guided by the voice of our members, reinvesting all surplus into creating better experiences for every guest – member or not.

Together, our 40,000 members, 500-strong team, and 600 volunteer leaders help more than 55,000 guests enjoy meaningful walking and activity experiences with HF Holidays.

It takes all of us to deliver on the promise of creating community, connection and belonging in the great outdoors. Everyone is welcome to join us.

HF Holidays

The HF Holidays story began with one man, Thomas Arthur Leonard OBE, hailed as the ‘Father of the Open-Air Movement in this country’. A country pastor turned social innovator, he founded the Co-operative Holiday Association in 1893 before establishing the Holiday Fellowship (HF Holidays) in 1913. His vision was clear: holidays should not be about artificial recreation, but about celebrating the natural beauty of the outdoors – an experience made richer when shared with others. 112 years on, we are proud to carry his legacy forward with a mission that feels just as relevant today as it did then.

We are better together

The HF Holidays Difference

There are four things that set HF Holidays apart: our co-operative spirit of community, connection and belonging; the 16 country houses we call home; the expertise that promises fun, friendly and active enjoyment of the great outdoors; and the flexibility to shape an experience to suit your needs.

UK-wide: 16 HF Country Houses

Owned by our members yet open to all, our country houses feel like a home from home in Britain’s favourite walking spots, from the Scottish Highlands to Cornwall. Each has its own charm, with a wide choice of en-suite bedrooms, welcoming lounges, sociable dining rooms, and grounds made for relaxing after a day’s adventures. Turn to page 20-21 for more.

112 years of expertise & heartwarming hospitality

With more than a century of hospitality and tour operating experience, we are built on word-of-mouth recommendations and proudly hold over 35,000 five-star Feefo reviews. Our award-winning reputation means you can trust us to make your next holiday seamless, sociable, and memorable, whether in the UK or overseas.

The co-operative spirit

We believe adventures are best when shared. As Britain’s only walking holiday co-operative, and with over 40,000 members, our not-so-secret ingredient is “altogetherness”. Walks spark conversations and friendships that last well beyond the holiday, while shared dining tables bring people together day after day. And when the walking ends, sociable evenings of games, quizzes, and talks create a true sense of belonging (evening activities at HF Country Houses in the UK –see page 23 for more details).

Walking grades at a glance

The icons show the difficulty level of each walk, and the number of icons indicates the number of walks you can choose from each walking day. Leaders host evening ‘walk talks’ to explain routes in detail, so you can choose with confidence.

Choice of up to 3 walks

Thanks to our army of volunteer HF Leaders, we can offer you a choice of up to three guided walks a day*, each led by a different HF Leader, giving you the freedom and flexibility to choose walks best suited to your fitness levels.

Turn to page 12-13 for more.

*Guided walking holidays at our UK country houses

Walk at a relaxed pace, often spending time at places of interest en-route. Walking experience isn’t necessary.

A team driven by passion and purpose

Volunteer HF Leaders

We are the only holiday co-operative offering guided walks in the UK led by a remarkable army of over 600 passionate volunteer HF Leaders. Their knowledge, warmth, and enthusiasm is what sets HF Holidays apart from the rest.

Each leader undertakes rigorous training and assessment, including first aid certification, so you can feel confident and safe, whether on a gentle countryside stroll or a challenging trail.

We thank all HF Leaders, Field Advisors, and our volunteer Board of Directors, who generously give their time to make our co-operative what it is today.

Volunteer Field Advisors

Our Field Advisors in the UK carefully research, plan, and devise the routes we offer, personally walking each one to ensure every step is safe, well-maintained, and rewarding.

They assess path conditions, check signage, and identify the best viewpoints, picnic spots, and points of interest. Their meticulous work ensures our guests enjoy walks that are packed with scenic beauty, local stories, and all the small details that turn a good walk into a truly memorable one.

Walk your way with HF Holidays

We offer hundreds of walking and activity holidays around the world, with guests and members returning year-after-year, to challenge themselves and enjoy an incredible sense of adventure and fun.

Guided Walking holidays

Guided walking holidays are where it all began for HF Holidays, and they remain our most popular choice today. At our UK country houses, we offer more daily walk options than anyone else, with up to three different grade walks each day led by HF Leaders.

For holidays at our Partner hotels in the UK, Europe and further afield, the number of daily walk options varies by destination (please see each holiday itinerary for details).

Wherever you travel, our walking grades (from 1 to 6) allow you to choose walks to suit your fitness level, all guided by expert leaders to take care of the routes and details. All you need to do is enjoy the journey! Turn to page 8-9 to read more about our walking grades or visit hfholidays.co.uk/walking-grades.

Walking with Sightseeing

Enjoy a blend of walking and sightseeing in the UK, Europe, and worldwide, travelling by coach and on foot with knowledgeable leaders. On these holidays everyone joins the same walk and excursion each day, exploring both iconic landmarks and hidden corners rich in history, heritage, and wildlife. Please check the walking grade matches your fitness level.

Self-guided Walking holidays

‘Go as you please’ from our UK country houses to balance independence with peace of mind. Use them as your base to visit local attractions, or use our Discovery Points to borrow easy-to-follow maps and routes. Share your plans so we can track your safe return. Or simply relax in our lounges, explore our gardens, or enjoy a room with a view. Best of all, you can still connect with fellow guests at mealtimes and in the evenings.

Guided Trails

Walk iconic long-distance trails led by experienced leaders through the UK and Europe, taking several days to complete the full journey. Staying in our UK country houses, partner hotels, or traditional inns along the way, and with all transport to and from walks included, you can focus on the adventure without concern for the logistics.

Challenge Walks

Challenge Walks demand stamina but reward you with spectacular scenery. Led by skilled leaders, you will tackle some of the UK’s toughest mountains and landscapes. With planning and navigation all taken care of, you can simply enjoy the journey, returning each day to the comfort of our welcoming country houses.

More ways to holiday

At HF Holidays, we go beyond walking, both in the UK and overseas. Many of our holidays are built around shared interests and passions, along with alternative ways to travel, from small group minibus tours to rail adventures. It’s all part of creating memorable experiences that bring people together in different ways.

Special Interest holidays

Try something new or develop existing skills, from art and music to yoga, cooking, and more. Led by expert tutors, these activity breaks include excursions and hands-on experiences, combining creativity, learning, and connection with others, based mainly at our UK country houses.

Visit hfholidays.co.uk/special-interest or call our team to find out more.

Discovery Tours & Discover More Tours

In the UK, our Discover More Tours take you off the beaten track in small groups, travelling by minibus to hidden gems missed by larger tours. In Europe, our discovery tours blend sightseeing with coach or rail travel to cover even more ground. All tours guided by experienced leaders.

For more details call our friendly team or see hfholidays.co.uk/discovery-tours

Rail Adventures

A number of our European holidays offer the option to travel by train, beginning with Eurostar from London and connecting to high-speed services across the continent. Others go further, weaving regional and heritage railway journeys into the holiday itself. Our Rail Adventures are all about smooth, scenic journeys and the joy of travel, with time to relax, take in the views, and enjoy new company.

Building our tomorrow, together

HF Holidays has always put people and the planet at the heart of everything we do. We’re committed to making all aspects of our business a force for good; from ensuring our holidays have minimal carbon footprints and using renewable energy at our country houses, to protecting and preserving popular footpaths. Together, our hard work is helping protect the landscapes we love for future generations to enjoy.

Proud to be a B Corp

HF Holidays became a certified B Corp in April 2024, the first co-operative to join the global movement committed to balancing purpose and profit. Certification isn’t a one-off; we will re-certify every three years, raising our score, meeting new standards, and driving meaningful, positive change.

Reducing our carbon footprint

We see it as our responsibility to minimise our carbon emissions, not just for this year but for every year to come. Our work with carbon consultancy, ecollective, has enabled us to measure our carbon footprint and create a strategy to reduce the carbon intensity of our product by 5% each year. Our ambition is to be net zero by 2040, earlier if we can.

£30,000 Pathways Fund donation to the National Trust Roseberry Topping restoration project

Pathways Fund: Roseberry Topping project donation

We’ve donated £30,000 from our Pathways Fund, our largest contribution to date, to support the National Trust conservation at Roseberry Topping. By repairing three worn pathways loved by guests at nearby Larpool Hall, we’ll help keep this iconic landmark accessible for generations.

Pathways Fund

From protecting and preserving footpaths, to providing holidays for disadvantaged families, our Pathways Fund makes a difference to everyday lives. Thanks to your donations, we’re able to keep best-loved walking routes safe and accessible. In 2025 alone, we’ve invested £23,000 in footpath repairs, committed £50,000 to major projects in UK national parks and funded mountain rescue teams in the Yorkshire Dales and Scottish Highlands.

We’re planning more projects in the Isle of Wight, Lake District, and Scotland, and inviting members to nominate future Pathways Fund investments through our new online member forum.

Assisted Holidays

Our Assisted Holidays programme gives the gift of a break to those facing financial, health, or personal challenges. In 2025, over 50 guests have enjoyed restorative stays at our HF Country Houses, improving wellbeing, confidence, and connection with the great outdoors.

Thank you for your donations to our Pathways Fund

Visit hfholidays.co.uk/pathways for the latest news, read updates in our quarterly membership magazine and call us to make a donation.

Volunteer Days

Each year, we give our teams a day to volunteer for a cause close to their hearts. Recent projects our teams have been involved with include:

• Helping the Cotswold Volunteer Wardens install a new kissing gate funded by our Pathways Fund

• Installing waymarks, plaques, and litter picking around Coniston with the Lake District Foundation

• An archaeological dig in Carlisle uncovering a Roman bath house

Each of our 16 UK country houses offer a choice of guest rooms with single, double or twin beds, all with en-suite bath or shower rooms. You may also enhance your stay by upgrading to our Premium and Superior rooms for a better view, more space or extra special details.

Let us help find the perfect space for you, including single rooms, rooms suitable for families, those with direct garden access, and even dog-friendly rooms.

Classic Rooms

All of our houses offer a selection of single rooms, both classic and premium. A popular option, so booking well in advance is recommended. HF Members benefit from supplement-free classic single rooms too.

Our country houses are all unique. Different in character, size, and history, no two are the same, yet all share the welcoming HF Holidays spirit. Wherever you stay, you’ll enjoy cosy lounges, sociable dining rooms, well-stocked bars, beautiful gardens, and handy boot rooms. Find out more about each house at hfholidays.co.uk/country-houses.

Most of our houses have extensive and lovingly-tended grounds and gardens for you to enjoy throughout your stay.

Evening activities

Our evening activities bring people together, including our inter-house quiz every Wednesday (evening activities not guaranteed on self-guided only holidays).

Boot and drying rooms

You will have access to our boot and drying rooms throughout your stay at our country houses perfect for muddy or wet walks.

Discovery Points

Featuring free to borrow and easy-to-follow walking routes and maps, our Discovery Points are particularly useful on self-guided holidays.

Parking & car charging

Our houses offer free on-site parking, plus car charging points, excluding Nether Grange in Alnmouth, where on-street parking is available.

Excellent value full-board breaks

Walking works up an appetite, so three meals a day are always included at our country houses, from hearty breakfasts and personalised picnics, to sociable dinners shared around large tables where conversation and camaraderie become part of the holiday experience.

Longmynd Hotel, Shropshire Hills

Seasonal dining, tailored for you

Our team of skilled chefs design our dinner menus to showcase the best of each season, from warming winter comfort food to vibrant summer dishes, including vegetarian, vegan and high-protein options.

We also source fruit and vegetables within a 40-mile radius of each house, open every break with a Chef’s Special menu inspired by dishes and flavours of the local area, and are able to adapt dishes to suit special dietary requirements.

Welcome cream tea

What better way to start your stay than with a cream tea, served fresh on arrival to make you feel instantly at home. A quintessentially English tradition, our scones are baked in-house and served with preserves and clotted cream, providing the perfect opportunity to meet fellow walkers.

A hearty breakfast to start the day

Start the day with a freshly-prepared cooked breakfast and a wide choice from our continental buffet, including hot drinks, juices and fresh fruit. Our team offer a quick and friendly service, leaving you fuelled and ready for your day’s adventures.

Our famous picnic lunch

Our personalised picnic lunches are perfect for a day out walking, ready to enjoy when hunger strikes. Choose from a large selection of fresh sandwiches and salads, freshly baked cakes and snacks, including the ever-popular Freddos chocolate bar! Everything is designed to fit neatly into your rucksack, and all of the packaging we provide is recyclable or compostable.

3-course evening meals

Our à la carte evening menus feature a wide choice of starters, mains, and desserts, made with seasonal ingredients and, wherever possible, herbs and vegetables from our own gardens. Shared around sociable tables, dinners are relaxed occasions, with drinks available to order at the table or from the bar, and a traditional Sunday roast to round off the week.

Simon Douglas, HF Holidays Development Chef

Southern England Cornwall

England’s most westerly corner is a rugged peninsula that clings to local customs, legends, and an ancient language all of its own. And in the same way Cornish miners once chiselled precious metals from the earth, Cornwall has carved out a place for itself as a world-class holiday destination.

There are 422 miles of coastal walking paths to explore, plus a treasure trove of charming harbour towns, standout surfing spots, and top attractions like St Michael’s Mount. The name on everyone’s lips here though is St Ives – the west coast seaside hub that has helped inspire generations of artists with its working harbour, white-sand beaches, and surrounding landscape.

The dense woods of Kingley Vale are home to the oldest trees in the country as well as mysterious Bronze Age burial chambers known as the Devil’s Humps. There’s also a collection of Sussex’s finest stately homes to discover including 16th-century Parham House, or natural wonders such as Devil’s Dyke.

Northern England North York Moors

A much-treasured national park covering 554 square miles, the North York Moors does heather-clad moorland like nowhere else. Three-quarters of the world’s heather moors are found in Britain, and this is England’s biggest.

“Our two weeks in Japan was impeccably organised, our hotels were very comfortable, and the BA flights from London arrived early in both directions (a bonus). When moving between overnight accommodation our luggage was usually transported separately –in a very efficient manner. In Japan we travelled by a combination of coach, trains (including a bullet train) and buses. We visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka and enjoyed numerous temples, and the trip’s highlight for me, walked part of the Nakasendo Path to Magome.”

We were well looked after throughout the trip, staying and walking in some lovely places, made exceptional through Dave’s enthusiasm, passion and knowledge of the area’s history, trails, wildlife, flora and geology”

Mr McKenzie, July 2024

Maligne Lake, Jasper National Park

“The Skyline Trail quickly immerses you into a landscape of pungent pines in the dense woodland of the boreal ecosystem. Wandering through spruce and fir trees slowly gives way to an open expanse and the famous board walk. As the ocean appears before you, the panoramic views and breathtaking vistas offer a sense of peace and reflection.”

Important Information about booking your holiday

How do you find our Terms & Conditions?

Full Terms & Conditions are available on our website at hfholidays.co.uk/bookingconditions and will be provided with your booking confirmation. They are also available on request by calling 020 3974 8865.

Booking and paying for your holiday

When you book, we’ll ask for a non-refundable deposit and any extra payments needed for additional requests. Once we’ve received your booking and deposit, we’ll email you a confirmation. Please take a moment to check everything’s correct — especially names and travel details — and let us know straight away if anything needs updating. It’s important that the names match your passport to avoid any issues.

If your booking includes a flight, we (or your travel agent) will also send you an ATOL Certificate.

Members enjoy classic single rooms in our country houses without paying a single supplement, while non-members are charged £10 per person, per night. For our partner holidays, as well as trips across Europe and worldwide, single supplements do apply — this is because many hotels charge based on room occupancy. That said, we work hard to keep these costs as low as possible. If you’d like help finding a suitable single room, our friendly Sales & Support team is here to assist.

Special requests

If you have any special requests, whether it’s something to make your stay more comfortable or a specific need during your holiday, please let us know at the time of booking. Our Sales & Support team will liaise with the relevant teams to do everything we can to endeavour you’re well looked after.

Our itineraries

We plan our itineraries well in advance to give you the best possible experience. Closer to the time, or even on the day, we may need to adjust the order of activities or swap walking days around, especially if the weather calls for it. Rest assured, any changes are made with your enjoyment and safety in mind.

Tailoring for special diets

If you have any dietary needs, please let us know in advance. At our HF Country Houses, we can cater for a wide range of dietary needs. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available as standard on our menus. If you are staying at one of our partner hotels please check at the time of booking whether your dietary requirements can be met.

Managing your membership & bookings online

If you haven’t already, you can register for ‘My Account’ at hfholidays.co.uk/myaccount. It’s a quick and easy way to update your details, view your holiday documents, and pay your final balance. You can also manage your membership here, including viewing your shares.

Making changes to your booking

Need to switch to a different holiday or date? We’ll do our best to help, subject to availability. Please send your request in writing before your final balance is due. You can change your booking to the same holiday on a different date or to another holiday of equal value once.

If your change involves a new date or location, we’ll recalculate the cost based on current prices. Please note that previously applied promotions (except the Welcome Home code) can’t be carried over. Changes are subject to:

• A £40 admin fee per person

• Any extra costs incurred by us or our suppliers

If you request changes after your final balance is due, or if we can’t accommodate your request and you decide not to go ahead, it will be treated as a cancellation (see ‘Cancelling Your Booking’ on the next page for details).

Transferring your booking to someone else

You can transfer your booking to another person if:

• They meet all the holiday requirements

• You let us know at least 7 days before departure

• You pay any outstanding balance, a £40 transfer fee per person, and any extra costs associated with the name change

• The new traveller agrees to our booking conditions

Both you and the person taking over the booking will be responsible for any outstanding payments and charges. Some parts of your holiday may not be transferable and could incur cancellation fees.

Content & pricing

The information in this piece is correct at the time of print. However, occasionally changes and errors can occur, and we reserve the right to rectify these. Prices are subject to availability and can be changed or withdrawn at any time. Please refer to our website for full details of the holidays we provide before booking. All bookings will be subject to the booking conditions on our website. Please read them in full at hfholidays.co.uk/booking-conditions.

Member Price Pledge Promise

For extra peace of mind, we offer our members a Price Pledge. This exclusive members-only benefit means you can be sure of the best price at the time of booking (excluding self-guided holidays and groups). In the unlikely event that you find an identical HF Holidays break, with the same duration, location, and date, advertised at a lower price, contact us to claim the difference.

Cancelling your booking

If you or someone in your group needs to cancel, please let us know in writing — either by email, letter, or by calling us on 020 3974 8865. To cancel by email, email cancellations@hfholidays.co.uk

Your cancellation will be effective from the date we receive your written notice.

If someone cancels from a group booking, it may affect the price for those still travelling.

Cancellation charges apply and are based on the full holiday cost. These charges apply to both individual and group bookings. See our website for details.

If we ever need to cancel your holiday, you’ll have the option to:

• Choose an alternative holiday (we’ll refund the difference if it’s cheaper), or

• Cancel and receive a full refund

We won’t cancel your holiday after the balance due date unless it’s due to unforeseen circumstances, non-payment, or if the minimum number of guests hasn’t been reached.

Flight-inclusive holidays

All flights include hold baggage and return airport transfers to and from your hotels. While most flights depart from London airports, we also offer a selection of holidays from Manchester, Birmingham and other regional airports. Prices may vary, please see details on individual holiday pages in this brochure and on our website. If you’d rather organise your own flights and transfers, select our land only option.

Filming and photography

Occasionally, we may take photos or film at our country houses for promotional use. If filming is planned, we’ll let you know at check-in and during the welcome talk. We’ll make sure it doesn’t affect your holiday — and if you’d prefer not to be involved, just avoid the filming areas.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is mandatory for everyone travelling on our holidays (including UK holidays). Whilst you hopefully won’t have to make a claim, travel insurance is there to protect you if something goes wrong – it can cover you for medical costs should you need treatment abroad; if your flights are delayed and it can cover you if your possessions are stolen whilst travelling. For extra peace of mind, if you need to cancel your holiday before the departure date, cancellation charges are applicable, and you may be able to recoup your losses through your travel insurance (subject to any applicable policy excess).

Your financial protection

We provide full financial protection for our package holidays which don’t include flights, by way of a bond held by ABTOT (The Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited), membership number 5008, 69 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3A 2BG, 020 7065 5311, membership@abtot.com. ABTOT provides financial protection under The Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 for HF Holidays Ltd, and in the event of our insolvency, protection is provided for nonflight packages. ABTOT cover provides for a refund in the event you have not yet travelled or repatriation if transportation was included in your package. Please note that bookings made outside the UK are only protected by ABTOT when purchased directly with HF Holidays Ltd, company number IP05713R.

Changes to travelling to Europe from the UK

A new entry & exit system (EES)

Starting in October 2025, a new Entry/Exit System (EES) will replace passport stamping when entering the EU - you’ll be asked to provide a photo and fingerprints at a kiosk. You don’t need to apply for anything before you travel. These changes are designed to make travel safer and more efficient but may lead to delays at the border as the new system is phased in.

A European Travel Information & Authorisation System

While the date has not yet been confirmed by the EU, in 2026, you’ll need to apply online for ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System), a quick and simple travel authorisation, similar to the US ESTA. It will cost 20 Euro and be valid for three years - free for travellers aged 70 and over.

See gov.uk/guidance/eu-entryexit-system for more information, and our team is here to help if you need support with the process.

Our experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly Sales & Support team is available to answer any specific questions and can offer guidance on the holiday best suited to your needs.

We are open Monday to Friday 9am – 5.30pm and Saturday & Bank Holidays: 9am – 1pm.

Please note our phone lines are closed on Sunday.
