Finally getting the whole gang together for a trip to the coast? Now that’s something worth celebrating. Brighton and Hove is the ultimate spot for a big group getaway, especially when you can find a massive house just a short stroll from the beach. Whether you’re planning a legendary hen do, a long-overdue family reunion, or just a weekend of sea air and catching up, having a base that fits everyone is key. Because trying to coordinate dinner reservations for twenty people is hard enough without worrying about where everyone is sleeping.
Why choose a big beach house by the sea
When you’re travelling as a pack, you need space. You want those big, open-plan kitchens where you can prep a massive breakfast for the whole crew, and lounges with enough sofas for everyone to flop onto after a day of exploring. Our beach cottages in Brighton and Hove mean you’re never far from the action. You'll find plenty of room for board games, movie marathons, and those late-night chats that only happen when you’re all under one roof. Plus, many of these spots have outdoor areas perfect for a seaside BBQ once the sun starts to dip.
Group getaways along the coast
If you're looking to explore the wider area, there are some brilliant spots nearby that are just as perfect for big groups. We see plenty of celebrations happening in Worthing, Eastbourne, Bognor Regis, and Seaford. Each of these locations offers that classic coastal vibe, giving you and your group the chance to enjoy a bit of space while staying within easy reach of the main attractions.
Making the most of your stay
The best part about picking a big house is that you can truly relax. Forget about splitting up into different hotels or worrying about being too loud in a shared space. With a place to yourselves, you can set the tone. Whether you’re looking for a manor house with a hot tub to soothe those tired legs or a grand property with a games room to settle a few friendly bets, we’ve got options that sleep 12, 20, or even more. We even have plenty of dog-friendly options, so you don't have to leave your four-legged family members behind. It’s all about having that dedicated together time where the only thing on your agenda is enjoying each other's company.
