Country houses for rent where everyone's invited

It goes without saying that country houses are the perfect setting to celebrate all kinds of special occasions, including weddings, birthday parties and meet-ups with friends. Best of all, large country houses for hire have enough room for everyone.

The welcoming communal areas invite guests to sit back and relax with a well-deserved glass of wine. Outside, you’ll find plenty of room for activities. Many manor houses boast several acres of beautiful gardens, woodlands and fields to explore. In addition, your canine companions will love running around the lush green lawns and bounding along the local beaches and coastline. With our dog-friendly luxury country houses to rent, nobody gets left behind.

Ready to get started? Choose from a selection of stunning houses sleeping 10, 20, 30 or even 40+ guests, meaning you can invite the kids, grandparents and everyone in between. We’ve hand-picked properties thanks to their superb facilities and locations, so large parties will always have something to do on and off the grounds.

County and manor houses with a private chef

To make your stay as comfortable as possible, our peaceful rural properties feature a variety of lavish modern amenities and well-thought-through details, so you won’t be short of technology and other creature comforts. We’ve taken care of all the tiny details to create a five-star experience for your family and loved ones.

Children will love spending pleasant afternoons in the well-stocked games room, before running around the enclosed gardens and lawns. All properties are completely private, so there’s no need to worry about security. Some locations even come with their own play areas and Wendy houses for hours of outside entertainment whatever the weather. There’s nothing more refreshing than getting the whole family outside and breathing in the fresh country air.

Of course, a little opulence never hurt anyone, and a number of our unique country houses for hire also feature hot tubs, all-weather tennis courts for team sports and sparkling cerulean swimming pools. Whether you’re planning a simple break or a lavish celebration, the impressive selection of luxury facilities is the perfect way to treat your family, children and loved ones.

As for the culinary side of things, these idyllic manor houses and country properties boast well-equipped kitchens, often including an Aga that’s perfect for cooking up a storm. Alternatively, book a private chef who will serve Michelin-worthy meals without the fuss. This is an especially popular option for large parties, weddings and team-building events, where self-catering often becomes challenging and expensive.

Properties surrounded by nature

There can be no doubt that choosing a unique country house to rent guarantees unparalleled luxury and relaxation. On top of that, our manor houses to hire sit within some of the UK’s most tranquil locations, including Norfolk, Herefordshire and Yorkshire. We guarantee that you won’t find more beautiful spots anywhere on the Isle.

Fancy a leisurely ramble through bluebell woods and fields? Perhaps you want to search for hidden gems in quaint villages and towns? Our country homes are situated near unspoiled woodlands like the Forest of Dean, so your family can enjoy sunny afternoons bathing in wildlife and unearthing local beauty spots.

If woodland doesn’t appeal to you, why not set your sights on the coast or the highlands instead? We have an array of charming country houses in prime locations across the UK, including the wild coastlines of the Isle of Wight, the picture-postcard beaches of Cornwall and the dramatic hills of the Lakeland Fells. Simply step outside and relish the abundance of natural beauty on your doorstep.

Our country houses combine natural splendour with accessible facilities and unique tourist attractions. Alongside a selection of outdoor pursuits, you’ll find restaurants, pubs and shops nearby. Not sure where to start? Most properties have a visitor book in the living area, which you can check for important information, helpful numbers and itinerary ideas.
