Roe Deer Country Retreat, Lancashire

Roe Deer Country Retreat is a massive farmhouse that's basically a party palace in disguise. Located in Lancashire's Forest of Bowland, this sprawling property sleeps up to 32 people across 11 bedrooms. Two hot tubs, a games room with pool table and a dedicated function room with dancefloor make this the ultimate group getaway spot.

Set in half an acre of grounds with stunning countryside views, this place is perfect for those big family reunions where you need space to escape your relatives. The Forest of Bowland offers gorgeous walking routes, while Gisburn Forest is perfect for mountain biking adventures. After a day exploring, sink into one of the two submerged hot tubs with a glass of something cold from one of the property's multiple drinks fridges.

The accommodation is split between the main house (8 bedrooms), annexe (2 bedrooms) and Old Stables Barn (1 mega-bedroom with 8 singles or super-kings). Most rooms have super-king beds and en-suites. The kitchen features an AGA Rangemaster, two dishwashers (because nobody wants to argue about the washing up) and dining space for 24 people across two areas.

Nearby attractions include Bowland Wild Boar Park (15 minutes), where you can feed animals that aren't your relatives. Clitheroe Castle Museum (25 minutes) offers historical insights, while Pendle Hill (30 minutes) provides challenging walks. Blackburn is just 11.7 miles away for shopping and entertainment.

Roe Deer Country Retreat is like your mate's house who always hosts the best parties - but with better beds and a karaoke setup complete with disco lights. Book it for birthdays, hen parties, or just because you can.
