Rent a big house to sleep a group of people

If you’re planning to host a big group holiday or weekend break and would like to be based in northwest England, within fifty miles of the seaside town of Blackpool, then the following large houses might be just what you are looking for.

Planning a group holiday near Blackpool with individual needs in mind

• Planning a group holiday requires booking a property with enough bedrooms and bathrooms to make everyone feel that they have sufficient privacy and space. Some people may be happy to share a bedroom, others might not.
• You may have specific ideas about dining and would like one huge table that everyone can sit around for dinner. Check the details to ensure that any holiday rental you are interested in supplies just that and not a collection of smaller tables.
• Most owners of large rented houses have information about optional entertainment and caterers, should you be thinking about organising this. When booking a self-catering holiday home, all arrangements are under your control – all you obtain is the accommodation itself. All beds are made up ready for your arrival, towels supplied. Once your group arrives, it is the group’s responsibility to look after themselves, make their own beds, prepare meals and organise their own activities.

Discuss your holiday with the accommodation owner

Depending on the purpose of your holiday, it is always worth having a conversation with the owner before booking. In certain cases, it may be possible to erect a marquee in the garden and bring in external caterers for a party or barbecue.

Lots to do within 50 miles of Blackpool

You might be planning group days out if staying in the Blackpool area for a few days. The seaside town of Blackpool offers a host of things to do and tourist activities. You may want to book a show, or go to a nightclub.

There is also stunning countryside within a reasonable distance depending on where you end up renting accommodation. The Lake District and Peak District National Parks offer plenty of outdoor activities such as hang gliding off of the crags in the Peak District, or sailing and fishing in the Lake District. It is an excellent destination for a boys trip away, or a Stag weekend.
