Handpicked countryside holiday homes
Founded on a passion for handpicked holiday homes, Bolthole Retreats offers over 250 exclusive properties
Botlhole Retreats’ properties are se- lected for their character, quality and home-from-home feeling, while their locations in the Cotswolds, Hereford- shire and the Forest of Dean offer a unique mix of hills, woodland and quiet villages.
ESCAPE THE EVERYDAY It’s no mystery why this corner of Eng- land attracts so many high-profile names. Celebrities like the Beckhams, Jeremy Clarkson and Liam Gallagher have famously claimed this country- side as their own, and can enjoy the privacy of a landscape that still feels relatively untouched. Bolthole Retreats helps guests find
that version of the countryside — one that feels like a genuine home rather than a holiday rental. Te team pro- vide direct advice on everything from local farm shops to the best walking routes. And because a true escape is rarely complete without the dog, much of the collection is pet-friendly.
AWARD-WINNING CUSTOMER SERVICE Over 90% of guests have rated their experience at four stars or above, with one customer stating: “Everything was excellent from start to finish.” Another noted: “What really stood out was how helpful and responsive the support was throughout our stay, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.”
