Let’s be realistic about it – you can’t always rely on the weather in the UK which is why large holiday houses with cinema or movie rooms are such a brilliant idea when you’re planning a holiday, midweek break or weekend away with friends and family. Ignore what’s going on outside, you’ll all be snug as bugs watching your favourite films, passing the popcorn, singing along to the soundtracks.

Large holiday houses with cinema or movie rooms are becoming increasingly popular for UK staycations. That doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering how often the weather isn’t what we want it to be. The more you have to keep everyone smiling indoors, the better, from pools, hot tubs and saunas to games rooms and the latest thing, cinema or movie rooms.

Lots of our luxury large group holiday houses have these so when it’s raining cats and dogs and the wind is howling, care not. Do not give a fig. Pick a movie, unpack the popcorn, and get comfy for a cosy movie night. Think huge screens, surround sound, streaming sites, plush cinema style seating or sumptuous sofas, and in some cases there’s even interval lighting.

There are proper job cinema rooms at Kingshay Barton or Princehay Barton near Crewkerne in Somerset, at Berry House near Tiverton in Devon, and at Bluewater midway between Bath and Bristol. Others, like Wonham House and Ridgeview, have fantastic movie rooms with enormous sofas to lounge on and big screen TVs with all the latest features. Take a look and imagine yourselves there, singing along to Mama Mia, Rocket Man or La La Land, feeling the futuristic vibes of Star Wars, Alien or Mad Max, laughing your socks off at Meet the Fockers, Brothers or Hot Fuzz. You know what? You could even theme a whole night around your chosen movie and bring in added entertainment from our Extras – a Bond film and a casino night, Knives out and a Murder Mystery arranged by My Events Concierge, The Devil Wears Prada and pampering. Go for it, dress to match the theme, get in character.

Our top-notch group accommodation comes with plenty of other fabulous facilities too - like private indoor pools, hot tubs, saunas, games rooms, Scandi style BBQ lodges that can be used anytime of year, and supersized living spaces that give you all the room you need to gather together and make big happy memories. Spot on for group holidays with friends and family, for celebrations with the chosen few, corporate away days and hospitality, and sophisticated hen weekends. But cinema rooms or movie rooms add something else, especially for the film buffs among you. Check out our gorgeous holiday houses and book your stay today – bring on the fun times, love special times with special people.
