Experience memorable getaways in stunning settings every year

With the Holiday Property Bond, you can enjoy a lifetime of beautiful gardens in an enticing range of destinations across the UK and Europe

There’s something uniquely joyful about exploring a new landscape on holiday. From the gentle rustle of tree leaves to the sweet scent of flowers, natural spaces have a way of relaxing and recharging us, whether we’re green-fingered or not.

That’s what makes a Holiday Property Bond (HPB) getaway so restorative. With a wide choice of exclusive properties across dozens of handpicked locations, HPB gives Bondholders access to impressive homes that either lie close to renowned gardens, or are nestled within their own landscaped grounds.

And no matter if you're drawn to manicured English lawns or Mediterranean olive groves, there will be a break available that’s sure to fill you with delight.

Read on to discover how one couple has enjoyed some of the most spectacular landscapes in the UK and beyond, thanks to HPB…

Cornish contentment

One of HPB’s most prized British properties, Duloe Manor in Cornwall, is a favourite of gardening enthusiasts Les and Margaret Hill. Set within 14 acres, this Queen Anne manor features five acres of meadow and nine acres of formal gardens with standout features, such as the vibrant acer collection and the elegant Lime Avenue – a 57-tree walkway ending in a picturesque monument.

In fact, the pair from Dumfries have enjoyed more than 80 HPB holidays since becoming Bondholders in 1999. Originally introduced to HPB through his job with Scottish Trading Standards, Les visited an open day at HPB’s Braithwaite Court with healthy scepticism.

“First, it was clear pretty much immediately that the Holiday Property Bond wasn’t a timeshare,” says Les. “There was a wide (and ever-expanding) choice of homes and almost limitless flexibility. Secondly, there was total transparency. And thirdly, there was no pressure – it was down to us to decide if the Bond was right for us.”

Holidays for all ages

Sold on HPB’s quality and flexibility, the Hills have since taken holidays across the UK and Europe with their children and grandchildren. “There is a perception that HPB is for a more mature clientele,” Les says, “but I prefer to think of it as multi-generational. We joined in our early 40s and enjoyed holidays with our young family. Now we’re doing the same with a new generation. And loving it.”

Another favourite location is Tigh Mor, a baronial-style retreat on the edge of the Scottish Highlands. “Tigh Mor was our first HPB holiday,” recalls Margaret. “Our daughter Julie’s face lit up – ‘It’s like a fairytale castle!’ she said. And it’s just as enchanting now.”

So, whether you're seeking garden ideas or a serene break surrounded by plenty of natural beauty, HPB’s breathtaking locations offer something truly special. The only question is: which location will you visit first?
