Finally getting everyone in one place for the festive season? Now that’s something worth celebrating. When you’re planning a massive family reunion, a big catch-up with friends, or a New Year celebration, the last thing you want is to be cramped into a tiny space. We’re here to make sure you find a spot that’s actually big enough for the whole gang to hang out properly, whether you’re planning a gift exchange, a massive roast dinner, or just a long-overdue catch-up by the fire.
Making Christmas memories together
There’s nothing quite like the chaos and joy of a big group festive break. Forget trying to coordinate multiple bookings or missing out on the fun because you’re stuck in the kitchen. Our collection of UK Christmas cottages puts the focus on togetherness. We’re talking about massive dining tables where nobody has to squeeze, living rooms with enough sofas for everyone to flop onto after a day of festive walks, and kitchens that are actually built for prepping a turkey dinner for twenty.
When you’re choosing your base, you’ll want to think about the extras that make a trip special. We’ve got plenty of large accommodation options with hot tubs for late-night stargazing, games rooms to keep the competitive ones busy, and enough space that you won’t be tripping over each other the moment you wake up. Plus, if you’ve got a four-legged family member who needs to be part of the festivities, we’ve got loads of big dog-friendly cottages so nobody gets left behind.
Where to head for the holidays
If you’re still deciding on the perfect backdrop for your celebrations, we’ve got heaps of inspiration for you. Some of our favourite spots for a festive bash include the Cotswolds, the Lake District, Cornwall, the Scottish Highlands, Devon, Yorkshire, and Wales.
Each of these spots offers something unique, whether you’re looking for rugged landscapes for a post-dinner wander or just a bit of peace and quiet in the countryside. Because squeezing 12 people around one tiny table isn’t much fun, we’ve made sure these locations are packed with properties designed for big groups.
Everything you need for a stress-free celebration
We know that planning a trip for a large group can be a bit of a mission, so we’ve kept things simple. Whether you need an epic manor house for a formal birthday bash or a converted barn for a relaxed family weekend, you’ll find plenty of room for big dinners, board games, and catching up properly.
Think about what your group really needs to make the holiday run smoothly. Is it a cinema room for a festive movie marathon? A wood burner for the ultimate cosy evening? Or maybe a garden that’s big enough for some outdoor games and a bit of fresh air? Whatever your group style, we’ve got the space to make sure this year’s festive season is the best one yet. Just pack your favourite board games, grab your Christmas jumpers, and get ready for a proper celebration.
