When 30 is the perfect number.
Thirty is where the booking starts to feel like an event rather than a holiday. Family reunions, larger birthdays, a hen do with a long guest list, a small wedding with everyone staying on site. Houses at this capacity usually come with supporting infrastructure: marquee-capable lawns, parking for many cars, kitchen facilities sized for catering.
Beyond 30, you’re usually choosing an estate with several buildings rather than a single house. People sleep in clusters; mornings have multiple kitchens; you need somewhere central for the group to gather.
