It’s always best to find large self catering accommodation if you’re planning a holiday or a weekend away with a big group. It’s just so much easier than a hotel, so much more relaxed, and you don’t have to share your space with anyone else – with strangers, which, let’s face it, isn’t what you want, especially if you’re looking to have a few days away celebrating a big birthday or an anniversary with the special people in your life.

Sleeps 12 have a lot of large group holiday homes in Somerset. Tell you why; apart from the fact that we live here, it’s one of the most popular parts of the West Country for holidays and the draw is understandable. It’s not just the beautiful countryside, the picturesque villages with centuries old thatched cottages and the busy little market towns where farmers sell their wares, but it’s also the pace of life – it all slows down a bit, things drop a gear or two, and that’s part of the charm.

We’ve noticed that we’re getting a lot of enquiries lately for cottages for large groups with a hot tub, and we were talking about it in the office, trying to pinpoint why. We concluded that there’s no particular reason, just that sometimes we all need a break from the hectic pace of modern life – you know, work, the school run, the washing, the ironing, the gardening, it goes on and on, and sometimes you just want to escape to somewhere where you don’t have to think about any of those things. A holiday in the country with a group of friends or family helps you to unwind, especially if there’s a lovely warm hot tub for you to have a soak in.

Where’s Spring gone then? Just when it looked like it had taken centre stage it’s gone all cold and blustery again! It’ll pick up of course but It goes to show that you can’t rely on the English weather and that’s why if you’re planning a holiday in the UK for 8-30 people it’s always wise to find large group holiday homes with indoor swimming pools. Add to that games rooms, covered hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms and you’ve got it covered; it matters not if the sun has got his hat on or not, you’ll all be fine.

This year kicked off with a big event in our family – my father’s 70th birthday; he wanted to mark the occasion by doing something that meant a lot to him – a celebration but not a party. “You can rent big houses for family celebrations” he said. “Let’s do that, let's all have a weekend away together. My treat.” The task of finding the perfect place to stay was left to my siblings and me, but with Sleeps 12 it was a doddle.

So Spring has officially sprung! It might still seem a bit gloomy out there but look around and you’ll see there’s so much going on – birds are busy nesting, the trees are starting to come into leaf, flowers are pushing up and bursting into bloom, and there are clouds of blossom in the hedgerows and in gardens everywhere. It always seems a bit of a struggle from the dark days of December to now, but next weekend the clocks go back so the days will be longer, and soon it will be Easter - a great time of year to get together with a group of family or friends and enjoy a large group holiday in the country.
