Looking for a UK group holiday?

Twenty People, One Holiday House, and Plenty of Room for Everyone

Organising a holiday for 20 people is quite an achievement.

There are dates to agree, bedrooms to consider, different ages to accommodate and, inevitably, somebody who wants to know whether they can bring the dog.

But finding the right holiday house can make the whole experience wonderfully straightforward.

Here's what to consider before booking.

Bedrooms That Suit Your Group

Twenty guests don't necessarily mean ten couples.

You might have grandparents, teenagers, young children, single adults and friends who would prefer their own rooms.

Before booking, check the actual bedroom arrangements rather than simply the maximum number of guests.

A house sleeping 20 might offer a very different layout from another property with the same capacity.

Enough Space to Gather

One of the pleasures of a group holiday is having everyone together.

Look for a dining area where the whole group can share meals, comfortable communal rooms and enough space for people to relax without feeling crowded.

A large kitchen can be particularly useful when several people are helping with meals.

And if there are separate sitting areas, even better. Not everyone will want to watch the same film or join the same conversation.

Think About the Practical Details

Parking is worth checking, particularly if guests are arriving in several cars.

You may also need to consider ground-floor bedrooms, stairs, bathrooms and access arrangements for older family members or anyone with mobility requirements.

And don't forget the location.

Some groups want countryside walks straight from the doorstep. Others prefer to be within easy reach of towns, attractions and places to eat.

Make It a Holiday, Not a Military Operation

With 20 people, it's tempting to plan every minute.

Resist the urge!

Some guests will want to explore. Others might prefer to enjoy the house, read a book or simply catch up with family.

A little flexibility makes a big difference.
