Question 1

How do I book a group house or hen party house in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Group Escape Houses connects you directly with luxury property owners across the UK. Browse our curated collection of large group houses, hen party houses, and holiday cottages — filter by destination, group size, and amenities like hot tubs and games rooms. When you find the perfect property, submit an enquiry or use the direct booking link on the listing. You'll deal directly with the property owner, meaning no booking fees or middleman markups. Our platform covers popular destinations including the Cotswolds, Lake District, Cornwall, Devon, Bath, Brighton, and the Peak District.

Question 2

What is included in the price of a group holiday house rental?

Accepted Answer

Most group houses on our platform include all utilities, high-speed Wi-Fi, bed linen, towels, and a fully equipped kitchen as standard. Premium amenities vary by property but often include private hot tubs, games rooms with pool tables and table tennis, cinema rooms, BBQ areas, and extensive private grounds. You can enhance your stay with optional add-on experiences such as cocktail masterclasses, private chef dinners, mobile spa treatments, life drawing sessions, and afternoon tea — all delivered to your property. Each listing details exactly what's included.

Question 3

How much does it cost to rent a large group house in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Whole-house rental prices typically range from £150 to £600+ per night, depending on location, property size, time of year, and amenities. When split between a group of 10-20 guests, this often works out at just £15-£40 per person per night — significantly cheaper than hotel rooms while offering far more space, privacy, and shared facilities like hot tubs and games rooms. Midweek stays and off-season bookings offer the best value, with rates often 15-25% lower than weekend pricing.

Question 4

How many guests can stay in your largest group houses?

Accepted Answer

Our large holiday houses accommodate groups ranging from 2 to over 40 guests. Each property listing clearly shows the maximum sleeping capacity, number of bedrooms, bathroom count, and detailed bed configurations including doubles, twins, singles, and bunks. For hen parties and celebrations of 15-20 guests, we have an excellent selection of properties with en-suite bedrooms and dedicated entertaining spaces. For larger gatherings of 30-40+ guests such as family reunions or corporate retreats, our estate-style properties and country manors are ideal.

Question 5

Can I cancel or change my group accommodation booking?

Accepted Answer

Cancellation and amendment policies are set by individual property owners, so they vary between properties. As a general guide, most owners offer full flexibility up to 8-12 weeks before arrival, with reduced refund options closer to the date. Some properties also offer a transfer option to move your booking to alternative dates. We strongly recommend purchasing group travel insurance to protect your investment, especially for larger bookings during peak seasons like summer, Christmas, and bank holidays.

Question 6

Are your properties only for hen parties, or can we book for other occasions?

Accepted Answer

Our luxury group properties are perfect for any celebration or group getaway. While we're well known for hen party houses, we regularly host milestone birthday parties (30th, 40th, 50th), family reunions, anniversary celebrations, baby showers, wedding venue stays, and corporate team-building retreats. We also cater to seasonal escapes including Christmas house parties, New Year's Eve celebrations, Easter family breaks, and relaxing weekend breaks with friends. Many of our larger properties are also licensed for small intimate weddings and events.

Question 7

What are the house rules and is a damage deposit required?

Accepted Answer

Each property has its own house rules covering noise levels (most observe quiet hours from 11pm), check-in and check-out times (typically 4pm and 10am), and specific guidelines around pets, smoking, and outdoor spaces. A refundable damage deposit is standard across most properties, typically ranging from £250 to £500 depending on the property size. This is returned in full after your stay provided the house is left in good condition. Our property owners are experienced in hosting groups and celebrations — they simply ask for respect for the property and neighbours.

Question 8

What hen party activities and group experiences can you arrange?

Accepted Answer

We offer a fantastic range of add-on experiences to make your group stay unforgettable. Popular choices include cocktail masterclasses with professional mixologists, life drawing and butlers in the buff, private chef dining experiences from 3-course dinners to grazing tables, and mobile spa treatments including massages, facials, and manicures delivered to your property. We also arrange afternoon tea experiences, wine tasting sessions, and outdoor activities depending on your location. All experiences can be booked to take place at your accommodation for maximum convenience.
