There are holidays… and then there are Holidays. The kind where you gather the whole gang – family, friends, cousins you haven’t seen since 2012, and that one mate who always brings a speaker and questionable dance moves. If you’re hunting for the ultimate group getaway, our gorgeous big house Airbnb’s near London (yes, they sleep 20+ people) are calling your name – probably with a cocktail in one hand and a BBQ spatula in the other.
🗺️ Why the Wye Valley?
Let’s start with location, darling. Just an hour and a half's drive from London, you’ll swap the traffic jams and takeaways for rolling green hills, riverside pubs, forest trails and actual fresh air. The Wye Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (officially, not just according to your Instagram filter), and it’s packed with walking routes, paddle boarding spots, quirky towns and castles galore.
Perfect for:
Multigenerational get-togethers
Birthday family bashes that don’t end at midnight
Christmas, New Year, or That-Random-May-Bank-Holiday
"We survived the school year!" family celebrations
🏡 What Makes Our Big Houses So Special?
We’re not talking bunk beds and a microwave here. These are proper holiday homes with:
Hot tubs for the bubbly brigade
Huge kitchens made for batch-cooking or cocktail shaking
Soundproof party rooms (so your 3am karaoke sesh doesn’t wake Granny)
Outdoor dining areas perfect for fire pits and star-gazing
Spacious lounges, snuggly sofas, and views that make you say "ooh"
And yes, there are enough bathrooms.
Each house has its own character – from converted barns with beams and bold art to Georgian manors with gardens big enough for cricket, picnics or an accidental game of hide and seek.
👨👩👧👦 Who’s Coming?
These places are made for groups. Whether you’re wrangling toddlers, teens, grown-up kids or just a group of grown-ups pretending to be kids, you’ll have plenty of space to spread out (and come together when it matters). Most of our houses sleep 12 to 40 people – so bring Nan, the in-laws, your old uni mates, the dog, and maybe even a chef (seriously, we can help with that).
🎉 Don’t Just Stay – Celebrate
Our homes are ideal for big birthdays, anniversaries, reunions or even low-key weddings. Want to throw a fancy dinner with a private chef? Done. Prefer to roast marshmallows in pyjamas and tell ghost stories? Also done. It’s your party – we’re just here to make it magical.
🚲 What Can You Actually Do Here?
Besides eat, drink and nap in a hot tub? Well…
Go Ape in the Forest of Dean
Canoe down the River Wye
Visit castles (because you're classy like that)
Hit the trails – walk, run, cycle or just take photos and pretend you did
Farm shops & markets – because no one ever said no to local cheese
Wild swimming (cold but Instagrammable)
Oh, and if the weather turns moody – there's table tennis, cinema rooms, books, and baking marathons to be had indoors.
