Big Country Houses to Rent in UK
Big country houses to rent in the United Kingdom are once-in-a-while indulgences. They allow you to escape the city's hustle and see the United Kingdom's natural beauty, from thick woodlands to rolling plains.
But what type of big country houses should you be looking for? At Big House Holiday Lets, we ensure you land with the best country houses to rent in the United Kingdom.
What Big Country Houses Do We Recommend?
While we provide many unique country houses for rent, we have two that will entice your mind. One is our River Wye Lodge, and the other is the Forest House.
River Wye Lodge
Our River Wye Lodge is a country house to rent if you want a view of the Royal Forest of Dean. Its kitchen is large and spacious, with enough dining space to emulate a country inn–which it used to be ages ago.
The River Wye Lodge has several unique amenities, making it one of the best country houses to rent in the UK.
Hot Tub
Our River Wye Lodge is a country house to rent with hot tub services available! It is a covered hot tub with enough space for several people. After a long walk through the woods or a bike across the countryside, a hot jet stream of bubbles can soothe the aches and sores of a good day.
Two Huge Kitchens
When looking for country houses for rent, you want a place that can accommodate many guests. The River Wye Lodge has twelve bedrooms, making two kitchens the perfect accompaniment for a large family or group looking for country houses to rent for the weekend.
Original Bar and Servery
At Big House Holiday Lets, we love history. It's why we have these lovely country houses for rent. We still have the original bar and servery for the River Wye Lodge, helping you enjoy the country inn as the place was at its origins. It can do wonders to establish that rustic, antique feel without the unnecessary must or dustiness.
Forest House
The Forest House is a beautiful country house to rent for the chill-out and relax mantra. Even the local wildlife makes an appearance. If you love the Forest of the Dead, one of England's oldest woodlands, you will love the Forest House.
Like the River Wye Lodge, we offer several amenities to make your stay perfect.
Patio with Heater
Unlike many country houses to rent, our Forest House comes with a heater for the patio, letting you look out into the Forest of Dean and indulge in the oldest woodlands across the United Kingdom. You can see the stars and avoid the chill with our heater, keeping everyone toasty and comfortable for a nightly gathering.
Board Game Lounge
When the weather gets cold, and you need mental stimulation, the Forest House comes with a board game lounge full of enticing mind games and tabletop enjoyments that can keep the brain going when the body needs a well-deserved rest.
