Finally getting the whole crew together in one place is definitely something worth celebrating. Whether you’re planning a massive family reunion, a milestone birthday bash, or just a long-overdue catch-up with your favourite people, finding holiday cottages that sleep 20 people is the secret to a stress-free trip. You’ll want plenty of room for everyone to spread out, massive dining tables for those big group feasts, and enough sofas so no one ends up sitting on the floor during movie night.
Space for everyone to relax
When you’ve got 20 or more people in the mix, the last thing you want is to feel like you’re living in each other’s pockets. That’s why we focus on properties with huge kitchens where you can prep a massive roast without bumping into five other people, and sprawling gardens where you can fire up the BBQ on a sunny afternoon. Many of our large homes also come with games rooms or private hot tubs, which are absolute lifesavers for keeping the group entertained without having to leave the house. Plus, we know that no family is complete without the dog, so we’ve got plenty of pet-friendly options to make sure your four-legged friends can join the fun too.
Finding your perfect big group getaway
The best part about booking a big place is that you can make the stay exactly what you want it to be. You could be looking for a grand manor house for a sophisticated celebration, an old converted barn for a rustic weekend, or even a sprawling country estate for a stag or hen do that needs a bit of extra room. If you’re trying to pick a spot for your next big get-together, some of our most popular destinations for these larger stays include:
- Cotswolds
- Cornwall
- Sussex
- Dorset
- Lake District
- Devon
- Lancashire
- Peak District
- Yorkshire
- Northumberland
- Norfolk
- Wales
- Scottish Highlands
- Snowdonia
Why choose a big house for your group of 20+
Squeezing 20 people into multiple hotel rooms just doesn't offer the same vibe as having your own private space. When you hire a large home, you’re creating memories in a house that’s exclusively yours for the weekend. You can cook together, play games until late, and enjoy the luxury of having your own space for morning coffees without the rush of a hotel breakfast buffet. It makes the whole experience feel more personal and, honestly, much more fun. If you’re ready to start planning, check out our large group accommodation and find a spot that’ll have everyone talking about the trip for years to come.
