The UK is fortunate to be surrounded by a wealth of country houses. And even if you can’t afford to purchase one, you can definitely rent one for a relaxing week away. The beauty of a country house in the UK is that they allow you to travel with a large group of people, such as family and friends, without having to worry about having enough beds or space for everyone and their things.
So, are you thinking about renting a country property for a weekend? Take a look at these amazing characteristics of a country house in the UK that will convince you to plan that next getaway.
DO YOUR OWN THING
Going on a trip with family members and friends is fantastic since you’re essentially on vacation with your closest friends and family. Regardless of how close you are, there may be times when you simply want your own space. A typical country house in the UK often contains up to 7 or more bedrooms, as well as a multitude of additional spaces such as function rooms, lounges, and kitchen facilities, so you’re sure to find some time to yourself. So, if you wanted to spend the day with your partner and kids, you could choose a peaceful area of the house and have a great family day together.
FACILITIES
You may anticipate being a bit lost for things to do while you’re out in the country. Country houses, on the other hand, come with a plethora of amenities, including:
- Swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor
- BBQ
- Pool table
- Table tennis/ping pong
- Stunning garden furniture
- Outdoor fireplaces
- Communal spaces
- Cooking facilities, as well as catering alternatives for people who don’t want to cook themselves.
- Pets are welcome, so you won’t have to leave your four-legged companion at home.
- Large gardens.
THE SCENERY
When you go on a vacation, you want it to be lovely, right? You want to be able to snap a lot of photos that you can post online and look back on afterwards. You will not be disappointed if you choose a country property. Whatever your demands are, you’ll be able to locate a home that meets them, whether you want something large and impressive or something big yet cosy. It’s also the ideal time to step up your Instagram game!
LESS EXPENSIVE THAN YOU THINK
Renting a property in the countryside isn’t going to be inexpensive, as you might expect. Your week away, on the other hand, could be less expensive than you thought! For example, renting a 10-bed country home would set you back approximately £3000, but if you travel in a party of ten and divide the cost, you’ll only be paying £300 apiece! When it comes to food and drink, everyone pitching in and purchasing one or two items will help to further reduce the expense!
FREE WI-FI
Finally, we live in an era where the internet is the most convenient means of communication. It’s also probable that you’ll want to share some photos from your trip on social media throughout your vacation. Fortunately, many country properties come with free WiFi, so you won’t feel cut off from the rest of the world.
