HPB provides holidays for life. As it is an investment product, however, it is subject to charges, your capital is at risk and you may not be able to cash in during your first two years. Please read "How HPB works" for a summary of the principal risks and benefits.
  • Henllys

Henllys, Anglesey, Wales

Nearby is the formidable Beaumaris Castle, which was begun in 1295 but left unfinished. The last and largest of King Edward I's Welsh fortifications is now a World Heritage Site, and is a perfect example of a concentrically planned castle.

National Trust property Plas Newydd Country House and Gardens is the home of the Marquess of Anglesey. With spectacular views of Snowdonia, it's one of the UK's finest mansion house settings. Enjoy the largest collection of Rex Whistler works, followed by a woodland walk.

Visit the largest marine aquarium in Wales, Anglesey Sea Zoo

Regional wildlife and local tongue twisters

Anglesey Sea Zoo is Wales' largest marine aquarium, located on the shore of the Menai Strait. A great all-weather day out, the zoo carefully recreates the habitats of over 150 species found around Anglesey and the North Wales coastline.

If you arrive by train, you could arrange by appointment only to disembark at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-gogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysilio-gogogoch, which is the village with the longest name in the Britain.

Head to Penrhyn Castle, the 19th century 'fantasy castle' near Bangor

Explore North Wales' historical treasures

A short drive over the Menai Strait takes you into mainland North Wales and a veritable host of beautifully preserved historical properties.

Another National Trust gem is Penrhyn Castle near Bangor, which is a 19th-century 'fantasy castle' with notable furniture and art collections, as well as a Victorian walled garden and kitchens, museums and an adventure playground.

Heading east along the coast to Conwy, the Plas Mawr Elizabethan Town House, built by Robert Wynn between 1576 and 1585 and almost entirely restored, is one of the best of its kind in the UK.

Also a World Heritage Site and built for King Edward I, Conwy Castle is perched upon a narrow rocky outcrop that perhaps influenced its distinctive shape. Constructed between 1283-87, it is an 'outstanding achievement of medieval military architecture'.

The National Trust's Bodnant Garden consists of two parts and is one of the most beautiful gardens in the UK. Covering 80 acres, it's situated above the River Conwy and looks west across the valley towards Snowdonia.

Visit the 13th century castle build by King Edward I in Caernarfon

Built by royalty and Romans

Caernarfon, a short drive south west, is most famous for its 13th-century castle. It was built by King Edward I to be a royal residence and seat of government. His son, the first English Prince of Wales, was born at Caernarfon Castle in 1284. It was also the setting for HRH Prince Charles' investiture as Prince of Wales in 1969.

The Segontium Fort, which dates back to 77 AD, is one of the most well-known Roman sites in Britain. Records show that it held a regiment of up to 1,000 soldiers until about 394 AD. The fort was strategic, controlling access to Anglesey and protecting the Welsh coast from Irish raiders.

Go for a walk in the beautiful and awe-inspiring Snowdonia National Park

Snowdonia, steam trains and stone keeps

The beautiful and awe-inspiring Snowdonia National Park, with its magnificent scenery and walking opportunities, is a stone's throw from Henllys. And if you still want to enjoy the views but would prefer an easier way to the 3,560ft-high summit of Snowdon, why not take the Snowdon Mountain Railway?

Or enjoy stunning views of Snowdon from a lower level with the Llanberis Lake Railway and its narrow-gauge steam trains. Journey from Gilfach Ddu to Penllyn, passing 13th-century Dolbadarn Castle and Llanberis' twin lakes. The train runs through the Padarn Country Park, joining the 1845 slate railway route that follows the shores of Lake Padarn.

Dolwyddelan Castle in the heart of Snowdonia was remodelled by King Edward. It was originally built by Llywelyn ab Iorwerth ('the Great') in the 13th century, and only a square stone keep remains now.

Travelling south through Snowdonia (to where the Llŷn Peninsula juts out from north Wales), you reach Portmeirion village and gardens. Created by visionary Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis in the 1960s, it became the setting for the cult television series 'The Prisoner'.

User Charge

The no-profit user charge is all you pay when you book your holiday. It covers the actual costs of servicing the properties, including housekeeping, laundry and maintenance of the many free-to-use-onsite facilities. It is charged per property - NOT per person. And it does not vary with the season: instead, the user-charge remains constant all year round.

For example:
A week for two in the Scottish Highlands could cost around £324 user charge, including VAT*, even at the height of the season.

A week for a party of eight in a four bedroom villa at Physkos, Turkey in August could cost around £577 in user charge

We're so confident you'll be delighted with HPB that we offer you a 'Money Back Promise'!

In regular surveys, Bondholders tell us how happy they are with HPB holidays. That's why we feel confident in giving you the extra reassurance of our unprecedented 'Money Back Promise':

If you take your first HPB holiday within three years of investing and are not, for any reason, entirely happy, you can cash in your HPB investment within 14 days of your return.

Whatever the encashment value, the parent company of the issuer of HPB will make up any difference so that you get back the full amount of your original payment, including charges.

This offer applies to a holiday at any HPB owned property which is taken by at least one of the Bondholders themselves.

Full details of the offer will be provided before you invest.

Restrictions

If you do not use our "Money Back Promise" offer explained in "How HPB works", you may cash in after two years at a value linked to that of the properties and securities but you should not expect to get back the full amount you paid because of charges and changes in the value of HPB’s properties and securities. In exceptional circumstances cashing in may be deferred for up to twelve months.

Your inflation-protected Holiday Points

HPB's holiday benefits are provided through a Holiday Points system. Each £1 you invest (including any adviser charge) adds one Holiday Point to the allocation of Holiday Points that you receive every year for as long as you hold your bond. Each time you book a holiday, you exchange Holiday Points for the accommodation you want, with the number of Holiday Points required depending on the location, size of property and season.

Here are some examples of how it works in practice (2022 rates):

For two people, holidaying out of season:
A week in Stigliano, Tuscany from 1,530 points
A week in The Trossachs, Scotland from 2,430 points
A week in St Brides Castle, Pembrokeshire from 2,260 points

And in the height of summer:
A week in Rocha Brava, Portgual from 8,190 points
A week in the Lake District from 9,760 points
A week in Le Mont de St Siméon, France from 14,180 points

If you have a minimum qualifying investment you can also book Short Notice Points Free holidays, subject to availability. Bookings can be made up to 28 days in advance for UK holidays and up to 56 days in advance for overseas. Even if you do not have a qualifying investment, you can still book Short Notice Points Free holidays up to 21 days ahead in the UK and up to 42 days ahead overseas.

Inflation protection: Your Holiday Points allocation is re-valued every year in line with the cost of providing additional holiday accommodation for new investors. This means your holiday accommodation booking power is fixed and protected against inflation. So you can look forward to top quality holidays for life.

A unique way to enjoy exclusive holidays year after year

Q. How does it work?

A. The way the Bond works is simple. Families like yours invest from £5,000 for exclusive access to a portfolio of over 1,500 top quality villas, cottages and apartments in 32 locations across 13 European countries, including over 600 properties in 19 locations in the UK. For each £1 invested you will receive one Holiday Point each year which you can use to book the properties. And when staying in them you do not pay a commercial rent, just a no-profit user charge covering actual running, maintenance and refurbishment costs. This charge is level throughout the year so there are no high season premiums. The average charge for a studio is around £360 and around £540 for a two bedroom property, for a week. Larger properties are also available. This no-profit user charge is only payable when you want to go on holiday. Your only ongoing commitment is a quarterly fee under £38 (that is around £150 a year), linked to RPIX.

Q. Will there be more properties in the future?

A. As we attract more investors the more properties we will add to the portfolio – increasing your holiday choice still further.

Q. How long can I holiday with HPB?

A. For life if you wish – the holiday benefits last as long as you hold the Bond. In due course you can pass it and the holiday benefits to your children and grandchildren, as many of our earlier investors have already done. If, however, at some point you and your family no longer wish to holiday with us you can surrender your Bond back to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances). You will not get back the full amount you invested, although we would hope that you will have had some wonderful holidays. What you do get back will reflect initial charges (25%) taken before your money is invested in the HPB fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself also pays annual charges of around 2.5% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly, as well as overheads. The value of the fund’s properties and securities can also go up or down and so, like most investments, your capital is at risk.

Q. Is the Bond available anywhere else?

A. No. HPB is available exclusively through HPB Management Limited.
