There is a main lounge, open-plan seating area with wood burner, sun room, formal dining room and office space, as well as two games rooms. One has a table tennis table, while the other contains a pool table, sofa and Smart TV. A large kitchen with central island provides another natural gathering point.

Six bedrooms are on the first floor, with the seventh in the attic. Four of the bedrooms have en-suite bathroom or shower facilities, alongside a large family bathroom and additional WCs. The full sleeping capacity includes a four-person bedroom with twin beds and bunk beds, plus an attic room with two 2ft 6in single beds.

Bigbury Court Farmhouse at a Glance

Who is Bigbury Court Farmhouse Best For?

Bigbury Court Farmhouse works particularly well for extended families, several families sharing or a mixed-age group who want plenty of communal space without everyone having to use the same lounge throughout the stay. The multiple living rooms and two games rooms are especially useful when adults, children and teenagers want to do different things.

The full capacity of 16 is most naturally suited to a family or mixed-age group. Twelve guests can use conventional double, king or standard twin accommodation, while four guests share the family room containing twin beds and bunk beds and the final two use the narrower 2ft 6in singles in the attic room. Groups made up entirely of adult couples should therefore look carefully at the bedroom arrangement rather than relying only on the headline capacity.

Group Accommodation Layout

How does the layout work for a group of 16?

Bedrooms 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 provide conventional double or king-size accommodation for ten guests.

Bedroom 4 sleeps another four using two standard single beds and a set of bunk beds. This room is particularly useful for children, teenagers or a family unit.

The final two guests use the attic bedroom, which contains two 2ft 6in single beds. These are narrower than standard 3ft single beds, so the full 16-person arrangement is likely to suit families and mixed-age groups better than 16 adults wanting conventional full-size beds.

For smaller groups of up to ten using the reduced-occupancy option, Toad Hall currently states that the four front bedrooms are made up.

Bathroom Layout

Bedroom 1 has a large en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

Bedrooms 2, 3 and 5 each have en-suite shower rooms.

The first floor also has a large family bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower.

The attic bedroom has its own WC, while another cloakroom is available on the ground floor.
