1. Chateau Lazuline, Normandy 

Chateau Lazuline has definitely had its fair share of the limelight, gracing the covers of both Maison Normandes and Elle Decor. And soon enough, you’ll see why. The outside is a fluorescent paradise,  heightened by the beauty of the arbour. Here you and your guests can dine under grape leaves, sharing bottles of Calvados, feasting on a selection of Normandy’s finest fish (mussels are a speciality) and finishing the meal with local apple pies.

2. Apple House, Buckinghamshire 

There are innumerable reasons why our guests choose Apple House for their celebrations. For one, it’s within easy reach of London. Secondly, the house offers total seclusion – so no party poopers aloud. And then there is the abundance of amenities that cater to all ages. Little ones will go gaga over the on-site (and super friendly) animals including sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. And as for the teens and adults, there’s an indoor pool, hot tub, tennis court, air hockey table, snooker table, trampoline, canoes and quad bikes.

3. Chateau Belle Vie, Hauts-de-France

Chateau Belle Vie was built in the 1880s by a wealthy family to serve one purpose – to entertain. And since then the new owners have sought out the same dream and have restored the chateau to its former splendour. The reception rooms are nothing short of remarkable and then there are the extra touches such as the grand staircase, indoor mini-tennis, snooker room and indoor trampolining that take this party house to the next level.

The modern kitchen is large enough to feed all your party guests, and the accompanying stone terrace is the perfect place to eat and drink al fresco during the milder months. Inside, you’ll find plenty of sofas and armchairs in the living room where everyone can enjoy each other’s company by the light of the fireplace when it gets chilly outside.

Sleeps: 12

6. Waterside House, Sussex

Waterside House is the embodiment of an English country house. Surrounded by thick woodland and just an hour’s drive from London – there’s nothing you won’t love. Guests will have so much to discover; the stone patio with its luxurious hot tub, the adjacent 800-acre lake to the large opulent kitchen (which is a key favourite of ours). So whether you’re enjoying watersports on the lake, fixing dinner, or simply watching the sunset from the garden, you’ll feel a million miles away from home.

7. Inglethorpe Hall, Norfolk

Inglethorpe Hall is one of the best party houses in our portfolio. You can make this grand home what you will – if you fancy a chilled evening, you can cosy up in the TV and games room to watch trashy movies until you fall asleep, or you can enjoy a meal in the large dining room, complete with two tables, atmospheric beams and elegant decor. The grounds are also every photographer’s and a holidaymaker’s dream, with this property set in thirty acres – perfect for those who want to get away from the group to enjoy some birdwatching, cycling or aimless ambling.

Sleeps: 20

Prices from: £33pppn

8. Chateau Quatre Saisons, Normandy

Chateau Quatre Saisons is the epitome of a home away from home, and we can assure you that it most certainly won’t disappoint.

The heart of the house is the main living room, where an iPod docking system and a billiard table add a party feel to an otherwise comfy room filled with sofas and an open fireplace. Plus, if you’re starting to feel a little cooped up indoors, you can take a quick fifteen-minute walk to the nearby lake for an afternoon of relaxing (before the party starts up again).
