Freshwinds is a massive country lodge in Staffordshire with room for 15 people across 8 bedrooms. This sprawling property sits in extensive gardens with everything you need for a proper group getaway. The owners have thought of everything - from multiple fridges (because nobody wants to play beer Tetris) to a karaoke machine for those who think they can sing after a few drinks.
The grounds are what make this place special. There's a heated swimming pool that's available year-round, plus a bubbling hot tub for when you've had enough of showing off your backstroke. Kids will go wild for the football nets, basketball pole, trampoline and astro-turf area.
