Why Hesdin Estate is a Holiday Game-Changer for Big Families, and Bigger Fun!
If you’ve ever tried getting three kids, the grandparents, and a teenager out the door at the same time, then you’ll know that big family holidays are not for the weak.
Luckily, Hesdin Estate gets it. Here, you can forget the chaos and focus on the fun. It’s where family holidays feel like, well… an actual holiday.
No schedules. No changing room meltdowns. No fighting strangers for sun loungers.
Just your own private pool, a games room complete with Xbox and pool tables, enough bedrooms for the whole crew, and a few mini pigs to keep the kids entertained.
Welcome to The Hesdin Estate.
The bigger the better.
Here at Hesdin, the houses are huge. Like, massive. These aren’t your average holiday homes. Think picture-perfect pads with more bedrooms that you know what to do with - enough for your whole crew and a few extras.
That means no ‘drawing the short straw’ for the bedroom that nobody wants, and definitely no sad little air mattresses in the corner.
Just real beds. For everyone. Perfect.
We even have totally accessible step-free options - perfect for when Nan insists she can do the stairs, but the whole family’s holding their breath.
One big happy family… and one big private pool!
Every house at Hesdin Estate comes with its own private pool. Yes you heard that right! Hunny, we're pretty extra.
And you know what that means?
No rushing to breakfast before swim time. No dragging soggy children into freezing cold changing rooms. No having to pre-book your swim slots. Just all-day pool fun on your own schedule.
Swim in your PJs? Why not. Midnight dip? Go on then. Your pool, your rules.
Game faces on, tantrums off.
Ever tried sharing a single game controller with your entire family? Yeah, it ends in tears.
Pigertons has 16 controllers, 4 Xboxes, and sleeps 12. Yep, that’s more than one controller per person! Sounds wild? Welcome to Hesdin, where family fun gets seriously next-level.
That’s why every house at Hesdin Estate has its own fully stocked games room - think pool table, consoles, and zero arguments over whose turn it is.
Sure, relaxing is great… but where’s the fun in that? Family weekends are all about thrilling competitions, brutal rematches, and that person who takes game night just a bit too seriously.
Kids get their playtime, teens get their screen time, and you might actually get to open that book you've been “reading” since 2021.
Let the games begin.
Leave the pool? Nah, not here!
One of the best bits about Hesdin? You don’t need to drag your kids out of the pool and rush around to get them ready because you forgot you have dinner booked at 5:30pm. You eat when you want, swim whenever you fancy, and lounge in your swimsuit well past bedtime if that’s the mood.
Between dips in the pool and hot tub chills, Hesdin treats you to the ultimate natural soundtrack. Don’t be surprised if you hear the occasional roar or wildlife call from the nearby Longleat Safari Park, reminding you that this is no ordinary getaway.
Basically, it’s your holiday. No schedules, no nagging, just pure, unfiltered chill (and a serious win for parents everywhere).
We have goats. And alpacas. And mini pigs.
As if it couldn’t get any better, Hesdin Estate is also home to some seriously cute residents.
Your kids (and let’s be honest, you too) will be obsessed with our resident troublemakers. While they like to keep things casual, they’re happy to make a cameo in your holiday snaps, and love stealing the spotlight.
Together time, but make it bearable.
We all love quality family time… until someone steals your spot on the sofa or the kids are bouncing off the walls.
Hesdin’s got space for everyone. Indoors, outdoors, and poolside, so Granny can sip her tea in peace while the kids do laps between the pool and games room.
Many of our houses even have secure gardens, so the kids can run wild, the grown-ups can relax, and no one’s chasing a toddler down the driveway in their slippers.
Plus, if you’ve forgotten any little essentials for the little ones (because let’s be honest, who hasn’t?), our new ‘Just in Case’ baby box has got you covered. Stocked with swim nappies, a bottle warmer and even a night light to save the night.
Everyone gets their own space to chill and you can still come together for the good stuff! BBQs, board games, and those legendary post-dinner family gossip sessions.
You’ll actually want to do it again.
Most big family holidays result in thinking ‘never again!’ Not here. Hesdin takes out the stress and turns up the joy.
You’ll leave with happy kids, actual rest, and a camera roll full of golden-hour moments.
It’s a family miracle!
If you’ve got a big family and even bigger holiday dreams, Hesdin Estate is so ready for you.
No stress. No schedules. Just lots of space, non-stop fun, and yes - mini pigs.
