Around 80 properties rented by the owner or an agency, the web site provides a central point of research for those wanting a large house.

Where

Predominantly the British Isles and the Continent, plus USA, the Caribbean, Morocco and Brazil.

Style

Around 80 properties, sleeping 12 or more people including large country houses, ski chalets, castles, European farmhouses, villas, a safari camp, a Caribbean island, a US ranch, lodges, manors, crewed boats including a gulet in Turkey. The look ranges from the more lavish (one Italian villa has its own pink leather seated cinema) to the less expensive. A large majority have pools.

Season

Available year-round, most not charging extra for heating. A lot have open fires.

Facilities

More than half positively welcome children, most are able to arrange cots and high chairs, and several offer babysitting. Only a couple positively exclude children.
Being so large the properties have plenty of facilities including games rooms, as well as plenty of space, including sometimes good hide and seek attics.

Extras

More than half of the properties are self-catering, with catered options. Others come with a full team of staff.
Activity options include cookery or painting courses to private safaris or beauty treatments.

Sample Price

Varying widely but for Bruisyard Hall sleeping 12 from £2,400 to £4,000 per week (the highest prices being for Christmas and New Year). Weekend breaks available in low season. Villa Cerulean in Anguilla sleeping 14 from £21,500 to £30,000 per week.
