If you are considering going away for a few days with a large group of people, whether it is family, friends or 2 or 3 families together, then the ideal holiday accommodation may be a country cottage or house by the sea. There are plenty of companies which offer holiday accommodation from cosy one-bedroomed apartments for couples to rambling country houses which can sleep 12 or more.

A large country property can provide the perfect accommodation for large groups holidaying together and is usually much more preferable to booking a number of rooms in a hotel. Many rental properties are very well-equipped with full kitchen facilities, use of a garden, often with a patio area complete with barbecue, bedrooms to sleep everyone comfortably and plenty of living space for guests to watch TV, play games, entertain the children or simply to rest and relax in. If the property is detached, then you don’t need to worry so much about keeping the noise down and disturbing the neighbours. Many rental properties may also allow one or two dogs. A lot of places are happy for guests to really make themselves at home and the best places to rent may even have the use of bicycles in the garage, or have a stock of wood for an open fire or supply a selection of board games or allow guests to use the outdoor jacuzzi or hot tub.
