There’s that moment, isn’t there?
You step outside, the sun actually has some warmth to it, and suddenly . . summer doesn’t feel that far away.
High pressure over the UK – it makes everything else feel better.
But that’s the danger, of course – because everyone else is thinking the exact same thing.
The best weekends – the big houses, the ones with the long tables, hot tubs steaming into the evening, gardens that turn into cricket pitches, BBQs that start at 2pm and somehow end at midnight – they don’t hang around.
They get quietly booked on days like this.
So this is your sign.
Not when it’s raining again next week. Not when the group chat goes quiet. Now.
Get something in the diary while it feels real.
* A house big enough that no one’s on a sofa bed
* Somewhere with a hot tub for the late evenings
* Walks, pubs, maybe a beach if you time it right
* Space for everyone – and somewhere to disappear when you need five minutes
Because the truth is, the hardest part isn’t the trip.
It’s getting 12-30 people to agree on one.
Pick a weekend. Pick a house. Send the link. Done.
We’ll help with the rest.
Thanks,

After months of dark mornings, cancelled plans, “we must sort something soon” messages and everyone disappearing into routine… suddenly the country gets 22 degrees and a bit of blue sky and everybody wants to gather.
There’s a particular feeling that arrives the moment a group weekend finally gets booked. Not during the trip. Before it. The relief.
Every summer seems to arrive with a new layer of travel chaos. Flight delays. Airport queues. Now stories about jet fuel shortages and airlines warning about disruption.
There is a funny thing about organising a big group weekend. The hard part is not always finding enough beds. No, it’s finding somewhere that still feels relaxed once everyone has arrived.
Oak Hall is the perfect group house. It is comfortable, spacious and easy to enjoy from the minute you arrive – the sort of place where everyone can settle in properly, spread out, and feel at home.
Our Signature Collection brings together some of the finest large group houses in the UK – beautiful homes designed for memorable stays, long lunches, late nights, hot tubs, gardens, games rooms and time together under one roof.
If you want the full Cotswolds experience for a big group, Dunworth Hall delivers it. This is a beautiful large retreat in the Cotswolds for up to 28 people.
Marystone House is a Northumberland house worth leaving home for – and once you see it, you will understand why.
There’s that moment, isn’t there? You step outside, the sun actually has some warmth to it, and suddenly…summer doesn’t feel that far away.
There are not many places where 40 people can sit down together, stay under one roof, and actually feel like you have space – not just squeezed in.
In the North East, you get proper links golf, dramatic coastline, inland championship courses, and the kind of scenery that makes even a bad round feel worthwhile.
Our house in Ovingham that sleeps up to 21 people in 10 bedrooms next to the River Tyne in Northumberland is pretty special.
If you’re planning a hen do, there’s one place that always delivers… Newcastle. Big nights and brilliant bars.
