Shropshire is a predominantly rural county but with lots to do, especially if you enjoy beautiful countryside and historical buildings and castles. If you are looking to go on a self-catering break and are visiting with a large group of fourteen or more people, whether for a hen or stag party or just because you have a big family, then you will be spoilt for choice as there are plenty of large house rentals that can cater to lots of people. Some are also baby and dog friendly, so everyone can be included in your holiday.
Group holidays can be lots of fun, and renting a large house or sprawling bungalow is the best way to enjoy it and keep everyone happy. These houses come with plenty of bedrooms so that everyone can stay in one place and won’t need to be split up, and you can cook and enjoy the meals you know and love all together around a large dining table, before watching a film, or playing some fun family games in the evening.
You might decide to rent accommodation that had some extra features to it, such as an outdoor hot tub or a swimming pool. If travelling with children in your party of fourteen plus, they will love being able to splash around every day in the pool, and even if your party is just adults, a hot tub is a brilliant way to add a bit of luxury and indulgence to your self-catering break, especially if you are celebrating something special such as a birthday or milestone anniversary. These big houses are very well suited to celebrating the special wedding anniversaries because you can gather your nearest and dearest for a good time together. Family members can do their own thing during the day, but you can all spend quality time together over breakfast and dinner.
Shropshire is home to plenty of pretty market towns which are perfect to rent accommodation in and use as a base to explore other parts of the county. There is Shrewsbury, the birthplace of Charles Darwin, or Whitchurch which is right on the Welsh border, so you can even pop to Wales for a day trip. Market Drayton is another quaint town to reside in and is home to a historical market every Wednesday, perfect for if you enjoy a spot of shopping when on holiday.
Travelling with a large group can be lots of fun, and it also means that there are opportunities to split into smaller groups and do different things if you have a few various interests. After a day of exploring and doing what you want to do, you can all come back to the same house and spend the evening together, telling each other how your day was. Or everyone might enjoy visiting the same places and spending some quality time together discovering the delights of Shropshire, and in the evenings, you can cook together, reflecting on your day. It is worth remembering that someone has to do the cooking for a big group in a holiday rental, so it may be advisable to obtain volunteers and agree a rota in advance. The alternative is to order takeaways on some evenings or to fill the freezer with readymeals that just need reheating.
There are a few large house rentals that sleep fourteen or more people in Shropshire, dotted all around the county. If you are celebrating a special occasion or just have a large family or big group of friends, then gathering everyone up to go on a self-catering break in the perfect way to have a break to remember. Book as far ahead as you can because these big houses are popular for all kinds of events.
