Looking for help.

Can anyone recommend a website (company or indivdual) to look for a cottage that sleeps 8+ for new years eve? Ideally we'd have it for a few days, up to a week, it would be no more than 3.5 hours from London and have a nice local pub nearby.

So far I've only found english-country-cottages.co.uk to be any good, but most of what is still available is too far away.

Thanks

This one. It's taken about a month to get this far, to start searching.

There's nothing like leaving everything to the last minute. Much more exciting.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

Nah, they've set the pool balls up wrong. What kind of service is that?!

Good luck, I started looking over 6 months ago and the good stuff that sleeps 8/10+ had already gone.
In my experience I have found you need to have booked next years villa/cottage for NYE before you celebrate this years. You could get yourself a static caravan somewhere no doubt. Bit chilly but could be a bit of fun if you get enough booze in.

From experience the properties with these guys are much nicer quality than english country cottages. May be a bit late booking though..

Try the national trust website as well, but I think you'll struggle to find anything.

You can try the Landmark Trust. They have some really great places which sleep 8 or more. Old Forts and castles in particular. They have a book which you can buy and you have to phone the booking line as they don't currently do it online. Give them a ring and ask them what is still available.

We're off to Pembrokeshire and had it booked a long time ago. Your best bet will probably be hoping someone has had to drop out of their booking somewhere.

Good Luck!

Plenty of nice cottages on here, know a few people who have used them. Mostly Suffolk way, if you see one you like and it's available, let me know and i'll tell you what's nearby.
