There's nothing quite like gathering your favourite people, packing up the cars, and heading straight for the coast. If you're planning a massive family reunion, a milestone birthday bash, or just a long-overdue catch-up with your closest friends, doing it with the sound of the waves in the background makes it even better. Squeezing a dozen people into a cramped space where you're tripping over suitcases is a quick way to ruin the holiday vibe. That's why our collection of large beach houses in the UK is all about giving everyone room to breathe, relax, and enjoy being together.
Space for everyone and the dog too
When you get a big group together, you need a property that actually works for a crowd. We're talking about giant dining tables where you can all sit down for a massive breakfast, spacious lounges for late-night chats, and big kitchens where cooking together becomes part of the fun rather than a chore. Many of our coastal cottages come with extra perks to keep everyone entertained, from games rooms for friendly tournaments to private hot tubs where you can soak under the stars after a day on the sand.
We also know that a family trip isn't complete if you have to leave your four-legged friends behind. A huge number of our coastal holiday homes are completely dog-friendly, meaning your pups can run wild on the sand and curl up by the log burner at the end of the day. With secure gardens and easy access to coastal paths, it's a holiday for them just as much as it is for you.
Popular coastal spots for your next group getaway
Finding the right base for your seaside escape is half the fun. If you're looking for spectacular beaches, stunning coastal walks, and great local pubs, we have incredible cottages waiting for you all over the country.
You could gather the whole family together in Devon for sandy beach days, or head down to the dramatic coastlines of Cornwall to catch some waves. For those who love rugged cliffs and sweeping coastal views, Wales offers fantastic options for groups of all sizes. If you fancy a truly dramatic backdrop with wild shores and fresh sea air, look no further than Scotland. Alternatively, you can enjoy classic seaside charm and fish and chip runs with the group in Yorkshire. Wherever you choose to go, there's a giant coastal home with your name on it.
Features that make group holidays easier
We want to make organising your big group trip as stress-free as possible. When you're booking for ten, twenty, or even 30 people, the little details matter. That's why you can filter for properties that have exactly what you need.
- No bathroom queues: Look for accommodation with plenty of en-suite bathrooms, so there's no morning rush when everyone is trying to get ready for the beach.
- Huge dining spaces: Find homes with massive dining tables where everyone can sit together properly, rather than balancing plates on knees.
- Outdoor living: Choose houses with large gardens, perfect for summer BBQs, outdoor games, or just sitting out with a drink while the sun goes down.
- Extra entertainment: Keep the kids and adults busy on rainy days with holiday homes featuring pool tables, smart TVs, or even indoor swimming pools.
Getting everyone in one place is something worth celebrating, and there's no better backdrop for it than the British coast. Start planning your seaside adventure today and find a space that fits the whole gang.
