Have you got a special occasion coming up in the near future? Maybe a significant birthday, a remarkable anniversary, a wedding, an engagement, a graduation… Take a peek at our large houses for celebrations 2025 and find the perfect backdrop to these milestones, somewhere very lovely to gather with your nearest and dearest and make amazing memories.
Life is short. There are moments that need to be celebrated and turned into occasions, those big birthdays, the momentous anniversaries, that wedding that’s in the planning, the engagement, the new job. These are life events that are worthy of getting together with a bunch of your favourite people to celebrate.
So what you want is the perfect setting – like our large houses for celebrations 2025 and beyond. Renting a big holiday cottage for family and friends celebrations is a brilliant way to do things if you’re not wanting to go it large with a huge party. If a quiet celebration with the chosen few is more your thing, this is the answer.
You can do things your way by getting local florists to bring in beautiful blooms and balloons, you can hire private chefs to come and cook you a scrumptious feast, book cocktail waiters and mixology classes, an evening of immersive magic and mystery, or a casino night – all in the comfort of your large group holiday house. We work with local suppliers who can make this happen for you - you'll find it all on our Extras pages.
What’s great about our houses for celebrations 2025 is that they have something for all ages and they're pet freindly, so no one is left out of the fun. Julesbrook was only added to our collection in late spring 2024 and it’s proving to be very popular for all kinds of large group stays. This beautifully converted barn sleeps 16 in 7 bedrooms and has its own games room and movie room, and a hot tub and play area set in a large private garden.
Pippinsands used to be the farmhouse here at Stonehayes Farm, but now it makes a wonderful backdrop for celebrations. 6 bedrooms give you snooze space for 14 people, and the large gardens have a hot tub and trampoline.
If you need additional accommodation, there’s Siskins Nook, a cosy country cottage with its own hot tub. 2 bedrooms sleep 4 so it’s great for two couples, for a family, or for older grandparents who prefer to have their own space. If you need even more space, book the whole site – that way there’s room for 34 (it wouldn’t be the first time!).
All cottages have access to a large games room with a pool table, table tennis and table football, and to 15 acres of private grounds with walks through the fields and along the river. It’s a gorgeous little corner of the world to celebrate that special something, even if it’s just the joy of you all being together. It feels like a different world here, hidden away in the Devon countryside, surrounded by the spectacular scenery of the Blackdown Hills and far reaching views over the Otter Valley. We like to think of it as a little piece of heaven in Devon.
Come and have a slice of it, come and make magical memories of special times spent celebrating one of life’s big occasions with the people you love most in the world. Book for a weekend or mid-week celebration and let the good times roll!
