Self catering cottage breaks for 12 or more

Lots of groups have weekends or mid-week breaks away and renting self-catering accommodation for the duration is often less expensive than a hotel or B&B.

Self catering accommodation is most difficult to obtain in large cities such as London or Manchester unless people stay in a youth hostel and to stay in a youth hostel people need to be members. There are large self catering houses to rent in towns and cities but a greater choice is found outside cities which necessitates transport for touring the city.

Another option is to rent several adjacent cottages or apartments to accommodate an entire group. This usually works out more expensive than a single property.
