Finally getting everyone in one place? Now that’s something worth celebrating. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday, a long-overdue family reunion, or a fun-filled weekend with your favourite people, you’ll want a base that’s built for keeping the energy levels high. When the weather decides to be typically British or you just fancy a night in with a bit of healthy competition, having a private games room changes the game entirely.
Why pick a big house with a games room?
Because squeezing 16 people around one tiny table isn’t much fun. Our large holiday cottages with games rooms are designed for exactly that: together time. You’ll find massive dining areas where everyone can tuck into a feast, spacious lounges for epic movie marathons, and dedicated spaces packed with pool tables, table tennis, or dartboards to keep the group entertained for hours. It’s all about creating those memories where you’re laughing so hard your sides ache, rather than worrying about where everyone is going to sit or how to keep the kids, or the adults, occupied.
Where to stay in Dorset
Dorset is an absolute gem for a group getaway. If you’re looking to be near the coast or tucked away in the rolling hills, there are some brilliant spots to base your crew. We see plenty of groups heading to Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Swanage, Bridport, and Shaftesbury for their next big bash. Each of these spots offers something a bit different, but they all share that classic Dorset charm that makes a holiday feel like a proper escape from the daily grind.
Everything you need for the perfect group trip
We know that when you're organising a big trip for a stag or hen do, or just a massive family get-together, the little things matter. That’s why we focus on properties that have the space to breathe. We're talking big kitchens for cooking up group breakfasts, gardens that are perfect for summer BBQs, and even those little extras like hot tubs to help you unwind after a long day of exploring. And because we know no one likes leaving a member of the pack behind, we have plenty of big dog-friendly cottages so your four-legged friends can join the fun too.
Booking a big place with us means you get to spend more time catching up properly and less time worrying about the logistics. With thousands of options across the UK, from grand manor houses to converted barns, we’ve made sure you can find the perfect spot to host your next big event without any of the stress. Pack the board games, get the playlist sorted, and get ready for a trip that everyone will be talking about for years to come.
