Bigger homes for smaller groups
Two who like the look of life in a miniature castle? Family of five that like the idea of roaming on 150 acres? When it comes to bigger homes for smaller groups, travelling in a little pod has never looked so roomy.
Smaller groups, we have something grand in store for you; from manors in the Cotswolds to modern beach houses in Cornwall. Make yourselves at home in fairytale thatched cottages and ancient engine houses, homes that fling open their barn doors to welcome littler groups in larger spaces. With swimming pools and tennis courts, this collection of bigger homes for smaller groups gives out-of-season access to exclusive retreats that might otherwise feel out of reach.
Just because you're travelling in a smaller group, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the space that an extra room brings, or the grandeur of an English country house complete with hot tub and private chef. Whether you are the entire rugby team, a couple of couples, or a family of four, these homes with alternative groups options afford you and your party additional flexibility when it comes to tracking down the perfect coastal retreat or wilderness escape.
