Enjoy more for less

Enjoy the space, grandeur and grounds of a large country house as a smaller group, at a smaller price

If you’ve ever dreamed of spending the holidays in a large country house but haven’t quite got the right sized group to fill it, then our collection of holiday homes with reduced occupancy options are the perfect solution.

Whether you choose to stay in an impressive Baronial-style Scottish mansion with acres of space and four-poster beds, an elegant stone-built Northumbrian house just a short hop from the beach, or a stylish Northumberland country home with its own private bothy for special occasion suppers, our reduced occupancy listings allow you to experience the space, grandeur and grounds of a large country home at a rate that reflects your smaller party size.  

Perfect for celebrating a milestone birthday or a special occasion, this collection gives you the opportunity to experience and enjoy these homes on a smaller scale on select out-of-season dates. Please note that each property will accept different party sizes and some rooms will also be closed-off when taking the property on a low-occupancy basis. Call us or check the property listing for more information.

If you’re a larger party looking for full use of a property, take a look at our Large Holiday Homes or our Castles, Towers & Stately Homes collections.
