Large Group Houses in Somerset
Local Guide
Group stays in Somerset
Somerset works especially well for groups who want one house, enough space to stay together, and easy access to restaurants, activities, and day-trip options nearby. Browse live large group houses first, then add experiences like private chefs, spa treatments, or cocktail masterclasses once you've chosen the right base for your dates.
Why Somerset?
Somerset is the West Country at its most varied — Cheddar Gorge cutting through the Mendips, the Somerset Levels stretching flat and quiet to Glastonbury Tor, and Exmoor rising to the coast in the west. Wells is England's smallest city, built around a medieval cathedral; Glastonbury draws visitors year-round beyond the festival; and the whole county is cider and cheese country. Bath sits at its north-eastern edge with its own dedicated page. For groups it offers space and genuine countryside within easy reach of Bristol and the M5.
Getting There
Taunton and Castle Cary are around 2 hours from London Paddington; Castle Cary is the stop for Bruton and the eastern county
The M5 runs the length of the county; roughly 3 hours from London via the M4 or A303, and under an hour from Bristol
Local services link the market towns, but a minibus is far easier for a large group covering Exmoor or the Levels
Bristol Airport sits just north of the county, around 30–60 minutes from most of Somerset
