40ths are usually friends, and often a later night. A hot tub and a games room get plenty of use, and so does a house that is properly rural, where music after midnight bothers nobody. If it is turning into a party weekend, have a look at our party houses too.
50ths tend to be the biggest. It is common for the birthday group to stay for the weekend and invite more friends for the Saturday night, so check two things early: whether the owner allows guests who are not staying, and how many the dining room really seats. Some houses can take a marquee. Bank holiday weekends go first.
60ths, 70ths and 80ths are mostly family, often three or four generations under one roof. That changes what to look for: a step-free bedroom for the grandparents, cots and space for small children, and one big table for a proper sit-down dinner.

When I was faced with having to find a large house with a pool for a family celebration at relatively short notice, Edmund at Landed Houses came straight to my aid. He responded promptly to my email enquiries, even on a Sunday, putting me in direct contact with someone who managed a property that fitted my needs; the outcome being that a superb house, with everything I need, was secured within 24 hours of my first enquiry. Many thanks, Edmund, for making the task so straightforward. If you’re looking for that special house for a party or family gathering I can recommend Landed Houses as your first port of call.

Most birthday groups enquire six to eight months ahead. For bank holidays, Christmas or New Year a year is safer. If the date is fixed because the birthday is, it is worth asking a few houses at once rather than waiting on one.
Typically around 18 adults staying, though we see everything from eight to well over 40. Children are common at 60ths and later, so say how many and how old when you enquire.
Sometimes. Some owners are happy with day guests or a bigger Saturday dinner, some limit numbers or noise, and a few do not allow it at all. Ask before you book and get the answer in writing. Our party houses page has more on music and neighbours.
A few of the larger houses can take one, usually arranged with the owner and sometimes with their own suppliers. Ask early, as it affects the price and which dates work.
Shared between a full house, most work out at roughly £40 to £110 per person per night. Weekends cost more than midweek, and bank holidays more again. The price on each house is the owner’s own, and you book with them directly with no commission.
Yes, and it is a popular way to do a December birthday. See our Christmas and New Year houses, and book early as those dates go first.
Plenty of houses take dogs. Use the pet friendly filter to see them.
