We're planning to get away for a group holiday for my MILs big birthday in 2025. I am really struggling to think 'out of the box' for where we could go and what kind of thing to search for. There are 13 people in total and we would be needing 6 bedrooms in total (ideally 7 but we can get by with 6). The age range is 18 months to 70 years and we don't necessarily need to all stay in the same house but it would be difficult for the kids and adults to all hang out if we were split across individual caravans etc.
A number of family members work in schools and so it needs to be school holidays which pushes the prices up hugely. We all get along well but there would be some expectation that people could also go off and do their own thing for a bit so somewhere really remote probably wouldn't be ideal. If the accomodation had easy access to a beach or a pool or games area etc that would be massive bonus.
Budget is about £3000 for 5 days total but we can be a bit flexible. I've been looking at UK cottages, Normandy self catering and Dutch cenreparcs style places but so far haven't struck gold.
Anyone with any ideas?
