Look at the mix of the examples before choosing. A four-bedroom house in Dorchester or Luss sleeping 12 sits at the cheaper end, while a sixteen-guest place with a sauna and spa bath in Mayobridge costs several times more. Larger groups of 14 to 18 in York, Strontian or Maghera are often priced closer to the smaller houses than you might expect. Bedroom count matters as much as guest count: nine bedrooms for 15 people means fewer shared rooms. Check whether dogs are allowed outright or only on request.

Large groups are the main reason people look at lodges and houses sleeping 12 or more: a family reunion, a big birthday, two or three couples sharing a long weekend. The typical place here sleeps around 16, with about 6 or 7 bedrooms in the smaller bands, and the biggest holds 50. Rated around 9.1 out of 10 by guests, these places tend to be well liked.
Prices are high in absolute terms, but split across a group the cost per person is modest. A night is usually dearer than a standard cabin for two, yet the spread of budgets is wide, from a few cheaper options in Scotland and Northern Ireland to seaside houses that cost several times more. Almost every place has a hot tub, about 73% take dogs, and a little over half have a log burner. Saunas are much rarer, at about 12%.
Seaside towns dominate the list. Scarborough and Bridlington lead on numbers, with 19 places each, followed by Cardiff, Newquay, York and Llandudno. Prices vary a lot between them. Cardiff and Windermere are typically cheaper than the national usual, while Newquay, Scarborough, Torquay and Llandudno are dearer. Nearly every town offers a hot tub on almost every property, with Inverness and Bridlington a little lower. If budget is the priority, Cardiff is the cheapest of the busiest areas, and London is also below the usual price.
| Town | Places | Usual night | With hot tub |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scarborough | 19 | £1,170 | 100% |
| Bridlington | 19 | £919 | 79% |
| Cardiff | 16 | £361 | 88% |
| Newquay | 15 | £1,337 | 93% |
| York | 13 | £836 | 100% |
| Llandudno | 13 | £1,003 | 100% |
| Windermere | 11 | £451 | 100% |
| Blackpool | 9 | £919 | 100% |
| Torquay | 9 | £1,003 | 100% |

| Inverness | 8 | £806 | 62% |
A hot tub is close to standard, found at about 93% of places, and a garden at about 87%. High chairs at about two thirds of places help if the group includes toddlers. Log burners appear at roughly 58%, which suits autumn and winter stays, and a BBQ at around 44%. The features that raise the price are the rarer ones: fishing, a swimming pool and a sea view each sit above the usual night, with pool and fishing places the dearest. If you only want a hot tub and a garden, you will not pay extra for them.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot tub | 1,518 | 93% | £919 |
| Garden | 1,408 | 87% | £919 |
| High chair | 1,090 | 67% | £919 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 947 | 58% | £919 |
| BBQ | 708 | 44% | £836 |
| Fishing | 366 | 23% | £1,168 |
| Sea view | 234 | 14% | £1,086 |
| Swimming pool | 226 | 14% | £1,170 |
Sleeping 12 to 14 is the largest group, with about 6 bedrooms and a lower usual price than the bigger bands. Sleeping 15 to 19 has around 7 bedrooms and costs more per night, but works out slightly cheaper per person. So going bigger does not make each guest pay much less. Pick the size that fills the beds, not one that leaves rooms empty.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 12-14 | 876 | 6 | £730 | £61 |
| Sleeps 15-19 | 445 | 7 | £919 | £57 |
| Sleeps 20+ | 303 | 9 | £1,421 | £62 |
Prices climb gradually from November through to April. November is the cheapest month shown, December and January sit a little higher, and from February the usual price rises each month, with April the dearest. Availability is tighter in November and December, when fewer places are free, and looser from January onwards. For a group that can pick dates, early winter is cheaper but busier to book, while January and February give more choice at a moderate price.
