Large house North West

[bananafanana1]

I'm looking for a house that accommodates 10 adults and 5 kids in North West England. Ideally 5 doubles and kids beds, don't mind sofa beds etc. It would be lovely if it was within walking distance to a pub!

It's for a long weekend in March for a big Birthday.

I've been looking but can only find ones that are ridiculously expensive!!

Budget around £1200 for Friday to Sunday.

Has any one got any suggestions?

Depends which weekend you are looking for. if its in the school Easter holidays - 23rd-25th or 30th - 1st April then it will be ridiculously expensive because its school hols and they will be looking for a weeks booking not a weekend. to get this sort of price you will have to be outside of school hols.

have a look at groupaccommodation.com and bigholidayhouse.com they have lots of places on there and you can search by size and area.

What about hiring out most of a youth hostel?

Thanks mummymeister I'll look at them

I did think youth hostels so I'll have to take a closer look, we'd want some socialising space for evenings and ideally exclusive use.

I once went to a wedding in the Lakes where they'd booked out a hostel. It was fantastic!

Was going to suggest the lakes (or peaks perhaps?)

There really are some fantastic hostels on YHA - they look great!
