Allow us to introduce Gooseybank, new to group Stays, new to you, out in the Herefordshire countryside close to the beautiful Malvern Hills. Set on an organic working farm in Herefordshire, this rambling farmhouse sleeps 21 and comes with exclusive use of a games room, a 12 person hot tub and gorgeous gardens to play in.

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year; the colours, the morning mists, the ripe fruits on the trees, the berries in the hedgerows, the bright sunny days, and the chillier evenings. It all adds to that wonderful autumnal feel. The sight of leaves turning colour can be spectacular, it’s a sight to make your heart sing, whether walking through woodlands or looking out over a valley, the reds and golds, orange and russet spread like a cloak over the countryside.

You should see us lot here in the office! We’ve been doing our happy dances every time we leave our desks this morning because we are so excited to be adding Jays Roost to our collection of luxury large group holiday houses in the UK. Read on and you'll see why.

Holiday James Bond or Swallows and Amazons style – whichever you prefer! You’ll have the entire island to yourselves, accessed by motorboat! How’s about that for your large group stay in the UK! The island stands in the middle of a private water skiing lake in Oxfordshire, the house sleeps 16+6 extra guests, and has a hot tub, games room, outdoor table tennis, outdoor kitchen and bar.

It’s no easy task to find a holiday cottage for 8 that has plenty to keep you entertained and something for all ages – until now. Let us tell you about Swallows Rest, one of the latest additions to our hand-picked collection of luxury group accommodation in the UK; 4 ensuite bedrooms, a games room, an indoor 5m swim spa, a hot tub, all-season BBQ lodge and a play area. Now you’re talking!

Sometimes all you want is a quiet holiday with your family, to stay somewhere idyllic and peaceful with the people who mean the most to you in the whole wide world. So welcome Dallybank, set in a sleepy Somerset hamlet where life slows right down, where there’s no noise no fuss and bother. The River Tone drifts lazily by at the back of the house, inside are 4 bedrooms, a games room and play room, outside are a hot tub and play area.

From Frog Street to Swallows Meadow – a simple name change but that’s all. Otherwise, everything is exactly the same. Still the same gorgeous holiday cottage, still 6 bedrooms to sleep up to 14 guests, still the same fantastic features – an indoor swim spa, a hot tub, a BBQ lodge, games room and play area.

Very rare is it to find a holiday house near Bath that sleeps as many as 24, so if you’re planning a group stay to this beautiful city in the West Country, you need to take a look at Lively Lodge. Just a short drive from the city centre this is a brilliant base for sightseeing trips and discovering the vibrant nightlife. There’s plenty of snooze space over the main house and 2 self-contained studios within the grounds; with not one, not two, but THREE hot tubs AND outdoor table tennis, relaxing comes easy.

There are certain events in life that just have to be celebrated. Things like those milestone birthdays, significant anniversaries, engagements, hen weekends and refined stag breaks are top of the list for getting together with a group of your favourite people to mark the occasion. Some people like an all-out party, but very popular these days is a few days away in a large holiday house where you can celebrate just the way you want to.

What a glorious spring! The weather is fantastic, with warmer temperatures than we’d expect this time of year, and everything is lush and leafy. The birds are singing, the trees are in blossom and the flowers are blooming. This is the perfect time to get out and visit some of Devon’s most gorgeous gardens! Stroll around the grounds taking in the beautiful borders, the manicured lawns, the fountains and ponds, stop for lunch or a cream tea in the café, or pack a picnic and find a sun dappled spot to savour your sandwiches.
