Dinner party for large group

Large holiday cottages, group accommodation and big country houses to rent

Looking for a large holiday house for a group of friends / family to rent for a mini-break, long weekend (3 days) or for a longer holiday? Perhaps you are organising a wedding, celebrating a special occasion, or just going away with friends - there is a wonderful selection of big family holiday houses to rent, some by the sea, contemporary town houses, bunk houses and large country houses and lodges too.

Some of the larger more expensive houses are actually cheaper per person per night to rent than the smaller cottages, and often include luxury features for on site entertainment such as: in-house cinemas, saunas, hot tubs, swimming pools, games rooms, tennis courts, fishing, walking, cycling, shooting, large open fires and some will offer cooks for a catered option too (or you can rent a free-lance one from an agency). Do not be put off by price - when you start dividing by large numbers, it can be surprisingly cheap holiday.
