Whether you are planning a special celebration or simply a relaxing getaway, big cottages to rent in the Cotswolds can provide the perfect setting. Here are some occasions when you might want to consider booking one of our fabulous large holiday cottages and homes.

What are big holiday cottages best for?

Multi-Generational Family Get-Togethers

Organising a holiday that suits all ages can be challenging, but big holiday cottages make it much easier. With plenty of space for everyone to spread out, grandparents, parents, and children can all enjoy their own activities and still come together for meals and special moments. Look for a big cottage with plenty of outdoor space for younger family members to run off some energy, and smaller spaces such as a reading nook or TV room for when a little quiet time is required.

Yew Tree Farmhouse

A large property like Yew Tree Farmhouse is perfect for these occasions, offering a luxurious and dog-friendly environment where the whole family, including the furry members, can feel at home.

Reunions with Friends

Catching up with old friends is always a joy, and what better way to do it than in the comfort of big cottages? When you rent a big holiday cottage, or our larger group accommodation, you have the ideal base for laughter-filled evenings, shared meals, and days exploring the beautiful Cotswolds. The Old Rectory, with its charming character and ample space, provides the perfect backdrop for creating new memories with friends.

Celebrating Big Birthdays or Anniversaries

Milestone birthdays and anniversaries deserve to be celebrated in style. Big cottages to rent can accommodate large groups, making it the perfect birthday party accommodation, ensuring that everyone can join in the festivities. Imagine a grand celebration in a beautiful setting, with plenty of room for dining, dancing, and toasting to the special occasion. The Cosh, a large and dog-friendly property, offers a fantastic venue for such memorable events, allowing you to celebrate without worrying about space or comfort.

Accommodating a Large Blended Family

Blended families often need more space to ensure everyone has a comfortable stay. Big cottages provide the extra bedrooms and living areas necessary to keep everyone happy. They also offer the opportunity to spend quality time together while still having personal space to retreat to when needed. Things to look for are a separate sitting room or games room for teenagers, formal sitting room or somewhere to relax in the garden for adults, and most definitely you will want space for your entire family to sit down to a home cooked meal together.
