We're planning a big family get-together this July and I'm looking for cottage/house big enough to hold 3 families (2 adults, 2 kids), plus 2 additional adults. Somewhere easy to get to from London, and with a garden. Family coming from far-flung places so am anxious to show off England at its best!!! Any ideas on places? We want somewhere we can hang out mostly, but access to a couple of easy day trips would be good - of the pub/little village kind.


This is the first time the kids have all met each other - all under 8 - and not sure how similar our parenting styles are. So I really want the place itself to be great and able to deal with a crowd!

Unsure there'd be one cottage big enough for all of the party, but could be worth looking at Bosinver Farm Cottages in Cornwall (www.bosinver.co.uk) they've won the gold award for self catering accommodation in the SW of England & has some lovely facilities on site which will help keep all entertained (inc hand feeding the animals with Farmer Dave every morning). We're going in Sept for the 3rd year running :-)

We had a brilliant holiday in Norfolk last year. So much to do, the broads are stunning, Norwich is a lovely city if anybody wants a day in town, there are beaches (we didn't go to the beach we were so busy doing other stuff so I can't tell you if it is any good), country houses, all sorts of things to see and do.


I googled and found this house http://www.barshambarns.co.uk/The_Great_East_Barn :)

    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
    • It's quite a steep step from memory. The ramp would have to be quite a few feet long to make the angle shallow enough to be safe. Maybe I'm wrong - not an expert.
    • really, it's the fact that a chain is muscling in when there is already one in a small area - if it was just a chain coming to a new area, it's a little different
