Large group accommodation in the UK has never been in such high demand; it seems that more and more people are choosing to take holidays for groups of 10 or more on our home soil. It may have a lot to do with the political and economic uncertainty, or it may just be that actually, organising a group holiday abroad is hard work – making sure everyone’s got passports, the hassle of packing to customs regulations, keeping younger children amused on a long journey, etc. It’s so much easier to just get in your cars and drive somewhere in the UK. You can take your time, stop when you want, play what music you like in the car – as loud as you like!
Group Stays have heaps of experience when it comes to large group accommodation in the UK; our luxury holiday houses for big groups sleep 8-30 people and are carefully selected to meet the needs of differing holiday sectors. We like our properties to have something for all ages, so you’ll find amazing facilities like indoor swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, games rooms and play areas for younger children.
We also think of the less able bodied and do our best to accommodate those with disabilities; all newly built or newly converted holiday houses will have at least one ground floor bedroom with an ample wet room, and there’ll be level flooring and wider doorways. The other thing is that we appreciate how unpredictable the British weather can be and we know that being stuck inside with a group of people who are bored and restless is tiresome, so that’s why the games rooms and indoor pools are important, but also, a lot of our large self catering cottages now have BBQ lodges where you can fire up the coals even if it’s raining.
The other thing? We’re pleased to say that most of the group accommodation we have in the UK is dog friendly, so you don’t have to worry about finding a dogsitter or kennels like you would if you were going abroad. Bring your pet pooch along too, and with almost all of the Group Stays cottages being tucked away in the countryside, he’ll have a wonderful time.
Take a closer look at our big holiday houses and cottages in the UK; several are in the West Country, in Somerset, Devon and Wiltshire, but you’ll also find them in Monmouthshire, The Forest of Dean, and The New Forest. We also have a beautiful and impressive town house on the outskirts of Worcester, great for city breaks for families and for hen weekends away.
The only thing we would advise is not to hang about as we’re already taking bookings for 2020; find your perfect large group accommodation in the UK, check availability and book today. Then all you have to do is sit back and look forward to a happy holiday, whether it’s a whole week away or just a short break. Easy peasy.
