🏡 Get everyone together at The Big White House

A big birthday, a family reunion or simply time together—it’s lovely to have everyone under one roof.

Near Cockermouth in Cumbria, The Big White House sleeps up to 24 guests in 11 bedrooms, with space for shared meals, cosy catch-ups, games of pool and movie nights.

We recently welcomed a family aged from 3 to 83 celebrating three birthdays. Hearing how much they enjoyed making use of the house was a real pleasure.
