When 24 is the perfect number.
24 works for three or four families on holiday together. It’s also the standard size for a milestone birthday with extended cousins, or for a stag or hen weekend that wants the whole house. Most properties here have 10 to 12 bedrooms, several reception rooms, often a games room or pool.
Rule of thumb at 24: you need two separate sitting areas. One main, one quiet. The houses listed here all have this.
