Whole-house group getaways

A private house for up to 22, on the edge of the Wye Valley.

Ten bedrooms, eight bathrooms, 22 beds, garden and private parking — one big house built for the whole group. Book just the house any dates you like, year round, or let us organise the whole weekend.

The Elements Residence, Chepstow — the house and garden
Two ways to do it

Book the house, or let us handle the whole weekend

Some groups just want the keys and the space to do their own thing. Others want the whole weekend organised for them. Both work here — you choose.

Just the house

The whole place, yours — any dates you like

Sleeps up to 22 across three suites. Bring your own plans, do your own thing, run it your way. We just hand over a brilliant house. Book any nights of the year — weekends, midweek, a full week, whatever suits — direct online, or get in touch and we'll sort it.

A closer look

Inside River, Castle and Forest House

Three separate suites shown here one at a time — but they all connect internally. Book the whole house and everyone can move freely between River, Castle and Forest House. Prefer just one? We can also rent the units individually — pick the one that suits your group and get in touch and we’ll sort it.

Who it’s for

Built for groups who want a proper weekend together

Hen and stag weekends, big birthdays, family get-togethers, clubs and societies — any large group that wants to spend a weekend doing something together. Everyone gets looked after, whatever their age.

Hen weekends

Nothing for the maid of honour to organise, and something everyone can join in with — mums, aunts and all.

Stag weekends

Activities and proper meals rather than a pub crawl. The kind of weekend everyone actually remembers.

Big birthdays

A milestone worth marking properly, with the whole group under one roof and nothing left to arrange.

Family & friends

Everyone together for two nights, with the cooking, booking and logistics already taken care of.

Where we are

Chepstow, where Wales meets the Wye

Right on the Welsh border in south-east Wales, where the River Wye meets the Severn — the gateway to the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean, with a castle in the middle of town.

The house is a three-minute walk from Chepstow railway station and the high street, so the group can come by train and never need a car all weekend.

Frequently asked questions

Anything else, just ask — we’re quick to reply.

How many people can stay?
The house sleeps up to 22 across three interconnected suites, with 10 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. We take groups from 8 upwards, and the price per person drops as the group gets bigger.
What’s included in the price?
Two nights in the whole house, a host running the weekend, two activities, two dinners out with a drink each, taxis to and from everything, and breakfast supplies in the kitchen. One payment covers the lot — no hidden extras.
Does everyone have to drink?
Not at all. The weekend is built around activities and meals rather than drinking. Drinks are included as a starter — welcome drinks on arrival and one with each evening meal — and there’s always a soft option, so nobody feels left out. It suits groups who want a proper weekend rather than a write-off.
Do we need a car?
No. The house is a three-minute walk from Chepstow railway station and the high street, and taxis to and from every activity are included. Most groups arrive by train and never drive all weekend. There’s private parking on site if you’d rather drive.
Is it suitable for mixed ages and abilities?
Yes. The activities are chosen so everyone can join in regardless of age or fitness level. There’s also a ground-floor suite with a step-free, accessible bedroom and wet room.
How far in advance should we book?
For spring and summer weekends, and for larger groups, book as far ahead as you can. Send us your dates and we’ll tell you what’s available.
How does payment work?
A deposit secures your date, and the balance is paid before you arrive.
What about dietary requirements?
Both restaurants can cater for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free, and most dishes can be adapted. Let us know when you send your menu choices over and we’ll arrange it.
