Finally getting the gang together? Whether you’re planning a birthday celebration, a long-overdue family reunion, or just a weekend catch-up with your favourite people, finding holiday cottages that sleep 8 or more is the first step to a brilliant trip. We know that trying to coordinate everyone is a bit of a mission, so we’ve made finding the right base for your group as simple as possible.
Spaces designed for your group of 8+
There is nothing worse than everyone being cramped into different rooms or fighting over the last seat on the sofa. That is why our collection focuses on homes that actually have room for eight of you to hang out properly. We’re talking big dining tables where you can all sit down for a proper meal together, spacious lounges for movie nights, and enough bedrooms so you aren’t playing musical chairs with the sleeping arrangements.
Many of our homes come with those little extras that turn a good weekend into a great one. You might find a house with a hot tub for late-night chats, a games room to settle those friendly rivalries, or a massive kitchen that is perfect for a big group breakfast. If your four-legged friend is part of the family, we have plenty of dog-friendly options too, so no one has to miss out on the fun.
Where to head for your UK group getaway
When you’ve got a group of eight, you want a location that has enough going on to keep everyone happy. We have homes scattered all over the place, whether you’re dreaming of a coastal escape or a countryside retreat. You’ll find some of our most popular spots in the Lake District, the Cotswolds, Cornwall, the Peak District, Norfolk, the Scottish Highlands, Snowdonia, Devon, the Yorkshire Dales, and even across Ireland.
Because we’ve got homes in all these spots, you can pick a location that suits your group’s vibe. Whether you want to head out for big walks in the morning or just fancy staying put in the garden for a BBQ, you’ll have a proper base to come back to.
Why pick a big home for 8 or more poeple?
Choosing a house that fits eight people means you get the best of both worlds. You get the privacy of your own space, but you’re all under one roof, which is what these trips are really about. No more booking separate rooms or trying to meet up at a busy pub just to have a conversation. You can cook together, play games, and actually catch up without feeling like you’re on top of each other.
