Here are some of my top picks for Large Holiday Homes
When we had less children we would usually stay in a caravan for our summer holiday, but once you have over 8 people that is not an option (apart from the rare occurrence that they have a 4 bedroom available) so we tend to stay in a cottage, it also has all of the home comforts and costs much less than being on a holiday park!
