Info over Big House Experience
Geschreven door het bedrijf
Our aim is simple: to offer truly wonderful experiences in truly exceptional houses, for groups of friends and families. We have curated our fabulous collection of large houses to rent with great care. Each and every house has been hand-picked with those truly wonderful experiences in mind. All have oodles of space, luxury as standard, and unique features that add the ‘wow’ factor.
We’re a family business. It started with just the two of us; husband and wife duo, Gareth and Claire Allen. We’re developing a team of lovely like-minded people around us as we grow, who will make sure we never lose that family business feel. And that means we’ll never lose that level of personal service that our wonderful guests have come to love.
We are selective. And unapologetically so. We feature only houses we’d be genuinely excited about staying in ourselves. It’s not about numbers for us – we’re happy to keep our collection of properties small and beautiful if that means we can recommend each property with confidence and pride.

We had a great experience booking…
We had a great experience booking through this company for a large house to celebrate a birthday and enjoy a family get-together. The booking process was smooth and everything was well organised. The property itself was fantastic, with plenty of space for everyone and excellent facilities. The swimming pool and hot tub were real highlights and enjoyed by all ages. Everything was set up to a high standard, making for a relaxing and memorable stay. A small suggestion would be to include a simple guide or map for local walking routes, as the surrounding area is beautiful. Overall, a very positive experience and a company we would happily recommend.

Amazing Scotish Estate
Can’t give enough praise to how great pur stat was at Kinclune House. Although we had the annex, we all stayed on the main house, more than enough space and lovely to keep all the family together. If you are looking for a place for slow days, long walks and food and drinks by the fire it won’t get much better than this. Thanks to the family and Big House Experience, we loved it!

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts following your stay in Scotland. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the space, the setting and the opportunity to spend quality time together as a family. It’s wonderful to know the house worked so well for relaxed days, walks and evenings by the fire, which is exactly what these estates are designed for.
Thank you also for your kind words about both the owners and the Big House Experience team. We’re so pleased your stay was such a memorable one and would love to welcome you back again in the future.

Had to physically pay £1000 damage deposit which was excessive to pay. Normally it sits in pending incase there was a problem. But no option to do that or put on a credit card

We had a wonderful stay at Churchside…
We had a wonderful stay at Churchside Manor over new year. The house was immaculate with everything you would need for a stay. Everyone had their own space but also lots of space to socialise together. Great coffee machine and local coffee beans. All appliances are top of the line. The location feels quite remote but still has shops, walks and things to do within a 10 minute drive. The host Phil went above and beyond to make sure everything was great for our stay. Thank you. We will be visiting again.

Magical NYE
We had an amazing time at the Castlemorton Barns over New Years. We were a party of 24 people and the property fit us all comfortably. Upon arrival the house was in perfect condition and the staff were very helpful and friendly as we got settled in.
Would love to come back one day!

Stunning House & 5* Customer Service
We had the most amazing NYE break at Mead House. The house was spotless, all amenities were thought of with special little extras which were such a nice touch. The house itself was STUNNING. Decorated to such a high standard with impeccable taste for the interior design.
Pool was warm and inviting, the children had the most incredible 5 days, as did the adults! The grounds were beautiful, so well looked after. I really cannot fault anything.
Customer service from start to finish with the Big House Experience team was 5*, really lovely, kind, helpful people.
We have booked again! Thank you so much to the whole team for making our stay one for the memory books.

The Paisley Pig, Wiltshire
Had a great weekend at The Paisley Pig in Wiltshire to celebrate an important birthday with family. The facilities were excellent, huge kitchen, fantastic swim pool with bubbles and swim current settings, bedrooms were welcoming and the tv wall and various floor games kept everyone amused including the teenagers!
Seamlessly organised by the team at Big House Experience. Friendly service and kept us fully informed at every turn. If you're looking for a special weekend away i would thoroughly recommend using them.
Well done to everyone concerned and thank you for making our time away very special.

Fabulous property
Fabulous property. Exactly as in the photos. Lee (manager) was most welcoming and helpful.
Plenty of sitting areas to have some alone time and plenty of large gathering areas. Grounds and scenery breath taking. Beautiful spacious bedrooms with high end finishes.
A little difficult to get to but well worth the journey. Wish we could have stayed another week!

Seadragon
Seadragon
We were fortunate enough to book seadragon for our big family Christmas. The house was absolutely breathtaking and far exceeded our expectations. The layout for large numbers of guests was perfect with the large kitchen, dining and main lounge area all in one section. The kitchen was particularly well equipped which made four days of catering much easier. A brilliantly equipped games room and cinema was thoroughly enjoyed by the children. The bedrooms were all large and the beds were incredibly comfortable.
The location is spectacular. Being able to lie in bed and see and hear the sea was captivating. Having a Christmas Eve hot tub watching the sunset over the sea was a particular highlight!
