Baby, it’s cold outside…but inside at The Wholehouse, it is warm, cosy and very inviting.
Snuggle up and watch your favourite Christmas film, get competitive with a board game, lose yourself in a good book or talk the night away with ones you hold dearest next to our fireside.
Wishing all our guests (past, present and future) and lovely followers this holidays; moments of love, laughter, peace and goodwill, and the year ahead bring contentment, joy and a visit to The Wholehouse with a-bit of luck!

Treating ourselves (and minis) to some luxury and a very rare night or two down at The Wholehouse.
Celebrating 11 years of love, laughter and adventures together with plenty of stress, tears and dirty nappies thrown in. Every year is a new chapter in our story that keeps getting better.
We have several fabulous couples and families coming to view The Wholehouse over the weekend and always love to welcome guests looking to stay or celebrate with us. Pop us a DM and we’ll sort a date to visit.

Drinks on ice, twinkly lights and glitter balls sparkling and industrial fans were at the ready for an extra special gathering last weekend, for I & Ds epic celebration.

You don’t realise how fast time goes until you watch what you created grow.
Excited for the Summer holidays and to have our minis around filling the farm with infectious laughter, smiles and boundless energy. They will also be super handy on changeover days at The Wholehouse and I’m sure our guests will spot them out and about on the farm moving stock over the next several weeks.
Our lavender lined patio is in full flower and looks and smells divine. It’s provides a great source of nectar for butterflies, bees and moths. Gigi loved identifying a hawk moth amongst the lavender as they having been learning all about moths in School.

On the other side of the clouds, is a bright blue sky.
Huw and I strive to create a extraordinary venues for guests to enjoy, putting OUR ALL into YOUR experience.
Sometimes we all need to unplug to recharge. A break from reality at The Wholehouse is perhaps just what you need.
Life can be very overwhelming at times and making yourself a priority once in a while is not selfish, it’s a necessity (we need to take note of our own words for sure!)
A-few nice words can help a person more than you think and as we all juggle our own storms, ‘the blue sky above never leaves’ (Charlie Mackesy).

First peak of our new accessible ensuite bedroom at and she’s a beauty.
To quote Elbow, “So, throw those curtains wide, one day like this a year would see me right.”
Pretty epic view to wake up too in a sumptuous, super-king bed. What do you think?

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but the number of moments that take our breath away.
Loving the first snow of 2023, although it did cause a little fun getting our business Bootcamp guests up to The Wholehouse!

Overkill is underrated.
We love it when a plan comes together and certainly have the A Team here at The Wholehouse helping us stand out from the flock with giant installations.
Treated all our helpers to a works do last week where we feasted on a sumptuous homemade spread by Huw and got crafty with the talented wreath making (my wreath welcomes guests on the front door while Vanessa’s biggest wreath to date is up and looking epic on the Wedding Barns, especially looking like a festive postcard in the frost today).
All foliage foraged from the Farm and our giant ribbon and bow were handmade by our little team (for all those asking via DMs).

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at The Wholehouse.
Our elves have been busy sprinkling a little festive magic ready for all our December guests.
Mulled wine and a roaring fire greeted this weekends gathering, alongside hundred’s of baubles lining our beautiful oak staircase(s) when on route to snuggle up in the eaves away from this freezing fog of late!

We like big bows and we cannot lie!
Wrapping The Wholehouse in a giant bow has been on the wish list for some time and my goodness it looks so good (even if we do say so ourselves). Keen to know what all our lovely past/ future guests and supporters think?
Huge thank you must go to Matthew Vaughan for rising to the challenge and helping make Christmas come early.

Team Wholehouse 2022. Huw, Kayleigh and our three 8 years olds!
Legacy is not leaving something for people. It’s leaving something in people.
After a super busy year welcoming guests from far and wide, we managed to getaway and have a mini family holiday ourselves to relax, reassess and rejuvenate.
Our three ‘Junior Partners’ at The Wholehouse even at their young age are very hands on with all aspects of the family business and we couldn’t be more proud. From cleaning, greeting, designing and building their own futures within our little empire, the trio enjoyed visiting their first diversification show at the NEC while away. They have some big plans ahead so watch this space!
