The UK has some stunning country houses for rent. However, often the problem arises when you are looking for large houses to rent for parties. In this case, country house hotels quickly become very expensive and have no privacy, and no flexibility, with lots other hotel guests hanging around. What’s more, the other options are private country houses. But, they are often either very shabby with no support or very stuffy and strict stately homes with no freedom to party.
