The most surprising weekend away
Have you always wanted to do a road-trip without a destination in mind? Whether you are spontaneous adventurer, an overzealous planner or don't know where you want to explore next, make your next weekend away stress free as we'll make the decision for you. Put your to-do lists on one side and enjoy a step into the unknown. Let us do the planning for you, and discover the most fun weekend you are every likely to have, with one of our surprise weekend stays. All of our canvas hideaways are exactly the same, the only difference is the view. Perhaps you'll be in staying in the New Forest, or walking an alpaca in Dorset, paddle boarding in Shropshire or surrounded by animals in Bedfordshire, we promise it will be within 3 hours drive of your home. Our surprise stay weekends are a chance to bag a bargain for just £250 for the whole family.

How it works
You will stay for 2 nights on one of our farms that is a maximum of 3 hours drive (traffic free) from your home. Once you've booked your surprise weekend you'll have to wait till one week before your departure to be told where you will be staying. That's when you will also be sent all the pre-departure info related to your farm so you can plan your route and activities once you get there. There's no need to pack your towels and bed linen as that's all provided - we've thought of everything in our canvas hideaways.
We cannot guarantee you a 3 hour drive on all the dates available if you live in Northern Ireland or Scotland.
