Finally getting everyone in one place? Now that’s something worth celebrating. Whether you’re planning a milestone birthday bash, a long-awaited uni reunion, or just a massive get-together with the whole extended family, you need a base that keeps the energy high from morning until night. Our large games room cottages in the Peak District are built for exactly that kind of fun.
Why you need a games room for your group trip
Let’s be honest, trying to entertain a big crowd can be tricky if you’re all stuck in one room. When you pick one of our properties with a dedicated games room, the competitive spirit kicks in immediately. We’re talking pool tables, table football, air hockey, and maybe even a dartboard or two. It’s the perfect way to keep the group laughing and engaged without needing to leave the house. Plus, having that extra bit of space means you aren't all tripping over each other while someone is trying to prep a big dinner in the kitchen.
We know how important it is to keep the momentum going, which is why we’ve focused on finding properties that offer massive dining tables for those big group feasts and plenty of comfy seating in the lounge for movie nights. When the weather decides not to play ball, having an indoor space where everyone can hang out is a total lifesaver.
Picking the perfect spot for your getaway
The Peak District is packed with brilliant spots for a group holiday. If you’re looking to be in the middle of the action, you’ll find some incredible options near Bakewell, Buxton, Ashbourne, Matlock, and Hope Valley.
Each of these areas offers something a bit different for your group, whether you want to be close to the local pubs for a celebratory round of drinks or tucked away in a more secluded spot where you can make as much noise as you like during your tournament.
Everything you need for an epic group stay
We don’t do small-scale. We specialise in places that sleep 8, 12, 20, or even 30+ people. We’re talking grand manor houses and sprawling estates where nobody has to pull the short straw for the sofa bed.
- Big kitchens: Serious space for cooking up a storm for the whole crew.
- Outdoor areas: Plenty of room for BBQs and letting the dogs run around if you’ve chosen a pet-friendly pick.
- Together time: Huge lounges and dining areas designed for catching up properly, not just sitting in silence.
- Extra treats: Many of our larger properties come with hot tubs or even swimming pools, perfect for winding down after a day of exploring the hills.
Forget about squeezing everyone around a tiny table or worrying about who’s going to be bored. Grab the group, pick your favourite spot in the Peaks, and get ready for a weekend where the only thing you have to worry about is who’s winning the pool match.
