How to Book Large Group Accommodation with Group Escape Houses
Find your perfect large group house in the UK, enquire directly with the owner, and confirm your booking — all without platform fees or booking intermediaries.
Find the Right Large Group Property
Start by browsing our curated collection of large group houses across the UK. Every property on our platform sleeps a minimum of 10 guests and is available for exclusive use — no shared spaces with other guests.
Browse by Group Size
Filter by capacity to find houses sleeping 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or 40+ guests. The right size house makes all the difference to your group's experience.
Search by Location
Browse popular UK destinations including the Cotswolds, Lake District, Cornwall, Peak District, and many more. Find a house in the exact region your group wants to visit.
Filter by Features
Narrow your search by amenities that matter — hot tubs, outdoor pools, games rooms, cinema rooms, large dining spaces, and more. Find a house that ticks every box.
Enquire Directly with the Owner
Once you have found a property that suits your group, submit an enquiry using the form on the listing page. Unlike general booking platforms, your enquiry goes directly to the property owner — no middleman, no automated portal.
Most owners respond within 24 hours to confirm availability and discuss pricing for your specific dates. You can ask questions, negotiate rates for longer stays, and agree any special requirements — all with the person who owns the property.
Group Escape Houses does not charge guests any enquiry or booking fees. The only cost is what you agree directly with the owner.

Confirm Your Booking
Once you and the owner have agreed on dates and pricing, you will receive the owner's booking terms. These cover the deposit amount, payment schedule, cancellation policy, and any property-specific house rules.
A deposit — typically 25–50% of the total booking value — secures your dates. The remaining balance is usually due 4–8 weeks before arrival. Most owners also require a refundable security deposit to cover any potential damage, which is returned after your stay.
All payments are made directly to the owner. We recommend purchasing group travel insurance before paying any deposit, particularly for larger bookings during peak periods.
Enhance Your Stay with Experiences
The right experiences turn a great group stay into an unforgettable one. Once your property is confirmed, explore our curated range of add-ons that can be arranged alongside your booking.
Private Chefs
A professional chef cooks a multi-course dinner at your property — the ultimate group dining experience.
Cocktail Masterclasses
A mixologist comes to your house and leads your group through a hands-on cocktail-making session.
Corporate Activities
Team-building workshops, away-day facilitation, and executive retreat programmes for corporate groups.
Spa Treatments
Mobile spa therapists bring treatments to your property — massages, facials, and beauty services for the whole group.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking large group accommodation through Group Escape Houses.
Yes. Group Escape Houses is an advertising platform that connects you directly with property owners. When you submit an enquiry, it goes straight to the owner. You agree pricing, availability, deposit, and booking terms with them directly — with no booking platform sitting in between and no additional platform fees.
No. Group Escape Houses does not charge any booking fees to guests. We are a pure advertising platform — owners pay an annual listing fee to be featured, but guests enquire and book completely free of charge. Any deposit or payment you make goes directly to the property owner.
Yes. Our experience add-ons — including private chef dinners, cocktail masterclasses, mobile spa treatments, and corporate activities — can be arranged at any point before your stay. Browse available experiences on our site and contact us or the experience provider to add them to your group trip.
Cancellation policies are set by individual property owners, not by Group Escape Houses. Most owners offer full flexibility up to 8–12 weeks before arrival, with reduced refund options closer to the date. Always confirm cancellation terms directly with the owner before paying your deposit, and we strongly recommend purchasing group travel insurance for larger bookings.
For the best choice of properties, we recommend booking 3–6 months in advance. Peak periods — summer weekends, bank holidays, Christmas, New Year's Eve, and popular hen party weekends in September and October — can book up 9–12 months ahead for the most sought-after properties. Midweek and off-season dates typically have more availability at shorter notice.
Use our group size pages to filter properties by capacity. We have curated collections for groups of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 40+ guests. You can also browse by destination or feature — such as properties with hot tubs, games rooms, or swimming pools — to find the perfect match for your group.
All payments are made directly to the property owner. Group Escape Houses does not process any financial transactions. Typically, a deposit of 25–50% of the total is required to confirm your booking, with the remaining balance due 4–8 weeks before arrival. Most owners also request a refundable security deposit to cover any potential damage.
Our properties are ideal for hen parties, milestone birthdays, family reunions, wedding celebrations, Christmas and New Year parties, corporate retreats, and any large group gathering. Many of our manor houses and country estates also accommodate intimate weddings and exclusive-use events. If you have a specific occasion in mind, browse by occasion on our platform to find the most relevant properties.
