The problem
Herding eight people across three bookings is nobody's idea of a weekend.
- ×Nine check-in links, nine checkout times, one group chat nobody reads.
- ×Who booked which room, who paid the deposit, who still owes?
- ×The last to arrive gets the room by the bins.
There is a simpler way.
Our solution
One roof. One plan. One person to call.
One roof
Take the whole house or a block of rooms, everyone under the same one.
One plan
Rooms, parking, check-in, the bill. Sorted before anyone sets off.
One person
Samantha builds the package. You deal with her, not nine separate check-ins.
Made for these trips
Pick your trip.
Three reasons groups book The Villa, from £85 per head. All of them can take the whole house.

- Tee times lined up for the whole group
- Club storage and room for all the bags

Stag & hen
The whole house, no neighbours to keep quiet, no eleven o'clock checkout. Wine, dinner and good times together.
- Self check-in for the late arrivals
- A kitchen for the morning fry-up
- Walk to town, no taxis to wrangle
Family & friends
Get everyone under one roof without one person doing all the work. Beach walks, coastal outings and a big table for dinner.

Illustration only. Samantha tailors every trip, tell her your dates and your group.
Celebrations
The whole house, for the occasion that matters.
Take all seventeen keys, set one long table, and keep the party under your own roof.
The big birthday
The 40th, the 50th, the one you actually remember. A long table, the whole house, no neighbours to keep quiet.
Small weddings & elopements
Say the words, then sit down together. Intimate ceremonies and a private dinner for the people who matter.
Milestones & reunions
Anniversaries, retirements, the reunion you keep putting off. One roof, one plan, everyone in the same place.
The space
Your kitchen. Your fry-up. Your 2am toast.
Room to rest
Seventeen proper beds.
High-powered showers, blackout curtains, a 42-inch TV with Netflix. The mate on the late ferry isn't locked out, your code works at midnight.
Room to relax
A lounge that fits the whole group.
Sofas, space and a proper lounge to pile into after the round or before the night out. This is where the trip actually happens, not a hotel corridor.
Room to arrive
A proper welcome, not a reception desk.
Walk in, dump the bags, take the place in. The lobby sets the tone for the whole stay, somewhere to gather before you head out and to land back in at the end of the night.

"Booked it for my hen, would book it again tomorrow. The whole house to ourselves, no neighbours to keep quiet for, and my mum could actually hear herself think. One booking, sorted."

No risk on the day
Not as promised? We fix it same day or refund that night.
Wrong rooms, wrong access, wrong dates, anything not matching what we confirmed, we fix it the same day or refund that night. This is a delivery guarantee, not a vibe guarantee: the rooms and access are exactly as confirmed, so there's no room to game it.
