Family Groups & Friends

Higher Bowden regretfully is no longer renting multiple cottages for family groups and friends as experience has shown that 1) we are unable to meet the increasing needs of groups and 2) The impact of a group on other individual families is more often than not negative.

Higher Bowden was designed from the outset to provide quality individual cottages and facilities for families who want an enjoyable holiday in a peaceful country setting without being impacted by large groups. The largest group of people which we can accommodate is 7 (this would include a baby in a cot).

We therefore do not accept 1)Booking a cottage where an intention is to meet up with other families or friends staying in another cottage at the same time at Higher Bowden  or 2) Bookings of more than one cottage by a person on behalf of a large family group or friends.

There are now many self-catering cottage facilities in the UK which cater specifically for the larger groups removing the possible conflicts between individual families and groups staying within the same complex.
