Be a guest on one of the most beautiful estates in Britain

The country house continues to exercise its fascination over the Great British public, through TV shows and films like' Downtown Abbey' books and  ‘Gosford Park’, glossy magazines and countless reality TV programmes. Now you have the chance to be a guest on the estate of one!

On a Country House Hideout holiday, you and your family feel just like the Great Explorers. In the summer they would return to their country seats to plan their next expedition of discovery just like you will.

If you are lucky, the estate owners may pop by and introduce themselves or their gamekeeper or gardener. It's worth lingering awhile with them to hear their stories - of a family tree going back over the centuries, of eccentric ancestors and strange goings-on in the history of the estate.  Country House Hideout is a long way from the image you may have of camping - there are no rows of tents and caravans here.
