Group Accommodation Advice

You can search for a large holiday home that can sleep everyone under one roof, or search for multiple properties on the same site where you can enjoy a little extra privacy and space at the end of the day – perfect for families who want to holiday together. We also have the facility to search for properties that accept hen nights and stag parties, alongside venues suitable for weddings.

Self-catering provides the perfect accommodation solution for large gatherings, offering plenty of space and privacy to relax and have fun. Many properties offer the sort of facilities you would expect from a high-class hotel including hot tubs and private pools, so why not enjoy a weekend away in a large luxury house? Plus, by the time you split the cost per person per night, you will be amazed at how affordable ‘luxury’ for big groups can be!

Through Independent Cottages, you book directly with the holiday home owner which means agency fees can be avoided and even more great savings can be made on large properties. We also have plenty of late availability offers so next time you are meeting up with friends, why not grab yourself a last-minute deal and get away for a couple of nights for a good catch-up!

Tips for Choosing Large Group Accommodation

We have many properties that accept single-sex groups but not all do, so please double-check before booking. If you require dining facilities that allow the whole group to enjoy supper together, make sure you select the ‘Dine Together’ criteria option when searching. Many owners are more than happy to recommend local services (for example caterers, beauty therapists and tailored outdoor activities) which will help you plan and get the most out of your stay.
