Unique Large Family Gathering Accommodation at Boutique Luxury Retreats

Multi-generational family holidays can be precious times for everyone.

However, we understand that a larger family holiday can mean greater strains on keeping everyone happy. You need enough space for family members to have time apart as well as together so our collection has chosen generous properties that can accommodate even the largest families.

The majority of these properties also come with a generous outside area for individuals to explore with many in idyllic countryside locations. Many in the collection have quaint pubs and charming villages within walking distance to discover too.

Large Family Gathering Accommodation Amenities

Any large family gathering will require lots of activities to keep all the family entertained and a multigenerational holiday is more taxing than most. Our wonderful collection of multi generational luxury stays ticks all the boxes in this respect.

They have an abundance of facilities, like a games room or a hot tub where the family can spend quality time. To make your multi-generational holidays even more special, many in our collection have their own private swimming pool and some even have an indoor swimming pool with a special collection for these retreats with pools.

Tips for Multi Generational Holidays

Planning a successful multi-generational holiday means finding a retreat that caters to every age and interest. For small children, think safe spaces to potter and explore, climbing frames to burn off energy, and perhaps a pool for endless splashing. For older children and teenagers, onsite facilities like a tennis court, football pitch, games room with pool or ping pong, and a swimming pool can keep them entertained and away from screens. We also have a smaller family holiday cottages collection. 

Grandparents will appreciate calm areas to relax, read, or re-energise with a morning coffee. It always helps to have a lovely local pub or coffee shop within walking distance for easy outings. Add in a balance of local activities for family adventures and flexible dining options to suit different routines, and you have the perfect recipe for memories that everyone – from toddlers to grandparents – will cherish.

It’s always a good call to see if you can get a local chef in to help share the meal preparation load and many of our retreats can help you find a local chef for onsite catering or even someone who can drop off easy and pre prepared meals.
