Holiday homes for walkers
Walking on holiday works best when you do not have to drive first. If you set off from the front door, you decide how long the walk is and you never have to return to a car park.
75 homes found
Below are homes where the owner lists walking trails as a feature, and homes that lie in or beside woodland. Exactly which paths there are is in the description, or you can ask the owner.
What to look for
- Ask whether a walk can start from the door or whether you need to drive first. With children or in poor weather that makes a real difference.
- Ask the owner for a map or a route description. Someone who lives there knows paths that are missing from standard maps.
- Ask where wet boots and coats can dry. A utility room, drying room or heated hallway keeps a rainy day from being lost.
- Think about the ground in autumn and spring. Forest paths can be muddy, and with a pushchair or little experience it is worth asking.
Frequently asked questions
Does every home have a walking trail nearby?
No. The list shows homes where the owner names walking trails as a feature, or that lie in or near woodland. How long and how hard the walks are, you ask the owner.
Do I need to bring my own map?
Not always. Many owners keep maps or routes at the house or send them ahead. Ask in your request, then you know whether to bring anything yourself.
Can I walk with my dog?
That depends on the home. Some owners accept dogs and others do not, and some paths require dogs on a lead. Check the house rules and ask.
Is there somewhere to dry walking gear?
That varies by home. A drying room or outbuilding is sometimes listed among the features and sometimes not. Ask beforehand if you are walking for several days, because wet boots do not dry on their own.
