Are you looking for a big house to rent?

House party preparation:
What location do you desire? Will guest be driving or require transport from airports, consider this before pin pointing your holiday location, also if some guests drive electric cars - consider the location of electric car charging points - some holiday houses have them (ultimate convenience as you can charge overnight).
Would you like a coastal property near beaches?
Do you require a rural or city location?
How many guests do you wish to accommodate in a holiday house?
How many are adults and how many are children will be staying, consider the ages as to whether you require ground floor accommodation and an enclosed garden - especially if any of your guests are bringing pets? Some large holiday houses will accommodate big groups of guests, often sleeping 10 to 12, 14 or 16 is popular for 2-3 families and more rare are the even bigger properties that sleep 20 - 30 guests. Book the larger houses as soon as you can as there are not so many of them, and they are in high demand during peak holiday periods and especially for weekend breaks.
How many bedrooms do you need? - Some houses will have bunk rooms for children (great for large groups of kids) or family rooms, sleeping 3-4, cots can often be supplied for infants. The facilities for younger children can vary so check if cots, high chairs, stair gates and swimming pool fences are required.
Are you going to self-cater every night - maybe a 'come dine with me' approach would suit your group and you can arrange fun themed dinners? Many holiday houses offer barbecue facilities for outdoor dining. Self-catering group accommodation is so flexible, when catering for lots of people - An Aga can be found in some of the large country kitchens, especially in Scotland where they provide a welcoming warmth to the houses.
Alternatively you can contract a cook, or look for local restaurants for a special night out. Is there a special occasion being celebrated? Do you require a cake, champagne or special balloons to be ordered in?
Local shopping is always popular, but supermarket deliveries are very convenient - especially if you are away in a large group, as you can pre order and have groceries and drinks delivered to the door, most of UK gets supermarket delivery coverage, so do consider this planning this in advance and save you holiday time for relaxation!
