YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Travel Best UK cottages for large groups to book now By You Magazine - December 27, 2021 Looking to go away with extended family or a bunch of friends? These are the UK’ s best cottages for large groups that have caught our eye… Christmas may not be cancelled (yet) but if you’re still hesitant to check into a hotel, board a plane or book anything that requires endless form-filling and test-taking, these supersized cottages and houses are designed to host the whole family. Without the stress of Covid passports and PCRs, the group trip is looking increasingly appealing for 2022: there’s space for remote workers, studying teens, energetic kids, outdoorsy adults and everyone in between, with fewer risks for elderly grandparents and more time spent together after what feels like endless social distancing and restrictions. Read on for our guide to the best cottages for large groups.
