Plan Your Group Trip in One Place — Free Planning Tools
Group trips rarely fall apart on the day. They fall apart in the planning — someone won't commit to a date, someone's chasing deposits, and the itinerary lives across three group chats and a spreadsheet nobody opens.
We do it differently. Group Escape Houses gives you the house and the planning tools: a free trip planner where you build the itinerary, track the budget and keep the whole group on the same page.
Planning tools that already do the heavy lifting
Every Group Escape Houses account includes our trip planner — live now, free forever.
Build the itinerary
Create a trip, set your dates and group size, then add houses and experiences until the weekend takes shape — all in one place instead of ten browser tabs.
Track the budget
Add costs as the plan comes together and keep a running total for the trip, so nobody gets a surprise bill at the end.
Share it with your group
Every trip has a shareable link. Send it to the group chat and everyone sees the same plan — no account needed to view it.
Download it as a PDF
Turn the plan into one tidy PDF itinerary everyone can save, print or forward — no more scrolling back through three weeks of messages.

The house and the plan, under one roof
Most booking sites hand you a set of keys and wish you luck. We've been running group experiences for years, so we know the difference between a good group weekend and a great one is rarely the house — it's the organisation around it. That's why the planner sits alongside our large group houses: plan the trip and book the house without leaving the site.
Planning a hen weekend, a birthday or a get-together? Start with a shortlist of houses with hot tubs or browse ideas for group weekend breaks, add your favourites to a trip, and let the plan take it from there.
