Big Holiday Lets Perfect for Family Christmas Getaways

There’s something magical about Christmas when the whole family comes together — but squeezing everyone under one roof can feel less festive and more chaotic. That’s where big holiday lets come in. These large, luxurious homes offer space to celebrate properly: long dining tables for feasts, roaring fires, private gardens for Boxing Day walks, and enough bedrooms to keep everyone happy (and peaceful).

If you’re planning a group Christmas getaway this year, here are some of the UK’s most impressive holiday homes that are perfect for festive gatherings.

🏡 Toad Hall, Shropshire

Set at the foot of the Shropshire Hills, Toad Hall is a grand stone property surrounded by a 500-acre estate. There’s a croquet lawn, private garden, and even a soft play and games barn for children. The dining room seats 28, making it a dream for Christmas banquets. Foodie favourite Ludlow and medieval Shrewsbury are just a short drive away.

🏡 Pasture House, Yorkshire

This three-storey “manor house” balances countryside privacy with easy access to Beverley and the Yorkshire coast. Expect sweeping views, a huge private garden, two hot tubs, underfloor heating and wildlife all around. A perfect blend of luxury and comfort for a cosy festive retreat.

🏡 Llanlliana Coastal Retreat, Anglesey

Set in a National Landscape at the top of Wales, Llanlliana is made for unforgettable group gatherings. Celebrate in the grand dining room, enjoy sunset barbecues on the private beach, spot porpoises, or stargaze from the enormous hot tub. With space for 20, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime festive destination.

🏡 Croft House, Pembrokeshire

Perfect for multi-generational holidays, Croft House combines comfort with family-friendly features. Less than five miles from the coast, it includes a private garden, luxury hot tub, indoor heated pool, and even animal feeding on the farm. Guests can book a private chef to take the stress out of Christmas Day.

🏡 The Winery, Higher Wiscombe, Devon

Tucked away in peaceful East Devon, The Winery is a stylish retreat that sleeps 20. Guests can enjoy summer days by the heated pool or winter walks through the rolling countryside, with charming Beer, Sidmouth and Lyme Regis nearby. With 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, it’s ideal for a big festive reunion.

🎄 Whether it’s coastal luxury in Wales, countryside charm in Yorkshire, or the rolling hills of Shropshire, these big holiday lets make space for festive memories that last long after the decorations come down.
