Why the Best Part of a Group Holiday Isn't What You Think

When people start planning a group getaway, they often focus on the destination first.

Swap Summer Crowds for Autumn Charm: Why September is the Perfect Time for a Big Group Escape

There’s something rather magical about September in the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean. The school holidays are over, the roads are quieter, cafés and pubs feel relaxed again, and the countryside seems to take a deep breath after a busy summer. If you've been promising yourselves a family reunion, a catch-up with old friends or a long-overdue weekend away, this is the month to make it happen. Better still, travelling off-peak often means you can stay somewhere much bigger than you might expect, thanks to some fantastic late summer offers. One property that's perfect for making the most of September is Forest House in Coleford. Sleeping up to 25 guests across 11 ensuite bedrooms, it's designed for bringing everyone together while still giving everyone their own space.
