Getting the whole gang together in Cornwall is a brilliant way to spend some quality time, especially when you have a massive St Ives holiday cottages base to call your own. There is nothing quite like the feeling of finally having everyone in one place, from the grandparents to the cousins and the family dog, all under one roof. When you pick one of our bigger properties, you get the space you actually need, meaning no more fighting over the sofa or trying to fit twenty people around a kitchen island designed for four.
Why pick a big house in St Ives
St Ives is a classic for a reason, with its winding cobbled streets, hidden art galleries, and those iconic golden beaches like Porthmeor and Porthminster. Staying in a large property means you can base your group in the middle of all the action while having a private sanctuary to retreat to when you fancy a quiet evening in. Imagine a sprawling manor or a converted barn where you can host your own big dinner parties, organise a competitive games night in your own dedicated space, or just relax in a hot tub after a long day of coastal walking. These houses are made for making memories, giving you enough room to spread out while still feeling like you are actually spending the trip together.
Plenty of space for everyone
Because we know that planning a trip for a massive group comes with its own set of challenges, we focus on the stuff that actually makes a difference. You will find massive dining tables for those legendary group breakfasts, gardens that are perfect for a summer BBQ, and enough bedrooms so nobody gets stuck on a sofa bed. Whether you are celebrating a milestone birthday, getting the old uni crew back together, or just planning a massive family reunion, having that extra bit of elbow room makes the whole experience a lot more relaxed.
Explore more of Cornwall
If you want to venture slightly further afield from St Ives, there are some incredible spots nearby that are just as perfect for a big group trip. You might want to check out the options in Carbis Bay, or perhaps head over to Hayle for more space. If your group is keen on exploring the coast, Penzance is a fantastic choice with plenty of room for everyone, or you could look into the larger properties available in Marazion. Each of these locations offers its own unique vibe, ensuring you have the perfect backdrop for your next big celebration.
