Larger Landmarks

Landmark offers a wonderful selection of larger properties, perfect for a range of special events or get-togethers. For reunions of family or friends, there are few places that could be better.

Cavendish Hall

Cavendish, Suffolk

Cavendish Hall is an elegant and unspoilt early Regency villa of considerable charm deep in rural Suffolk. Sleeping up to 12, it is perfect for gatherings of family and friends or a weekend escape. In the final stages of refurbishment, Cavendish will be open to stays from 7 May 2010.

Elton House

Abbey Street, Bath

Elton House is situated right in the centre of Bath, with all it has to offer within walking distance. This could be a great property for a murder mystery weekend for a group of friends, or a Landmark birthday, with a large dining room for formal dining. All you need is someone to cook.

Meikle Ascog

Isle of Bute, Argyll and Bute

For group escapism, this Landmark is comfortable enough for young families and has large and secluded grounds to explore, as well as the nearby shoreline. A deceptively large property, in which every room is perfectly proportioned and pleasant to be in.

Goddards

Abinger Common, Surrey

Goddards was built by Edwin Lutyens about 1900, with a garden laid out by Gertrude Jekyll. Another Landmark perfect for a group of friends or family, and close to London to help minimise the travelling time. It even has a skittle alley and a beautiful garden, which will keep adults and children alike entertained for hours.

Millcombe House

Lundy, Bristol Channel, Devon

This elegant home was built in 1836 for the Heaven family. Situated on the south of the island of Lundy, it looks down a wooded valley and out to sea and has a curious inward-sloping roof, designed to catch rainwater.

Sant' Antonio

Tivoli, near Rome

The present villa was begun in about 850 AD but contains walls from a much earlier villa, believed to have belonged to the poet Horace. Over the years, Franciscan monks have lived here and Popes too. Beyond the scented and beautiful garden there are views across the valley to Tivoli. The surrounding area of Lazio with its hills and lakes, castles and gardens is one of the most beautiful and least known regions of Italy.

Auchinleck House

Ochiltree, Ayrshire

Auchinleck House is one of the finest examples of an eighteenth-century country villa to survive in Scotland. The house has a magnificent library and a great dining room, and beautiful grounds. Ideal for an opulent week's retreat for a special birthday or celebration.

Fort Clonque

Alderney

This dramatic fort, built in the 1840s, is nestled into a group of large rocks off the steep south-west tip of Alderney. It is reached by a causeway and at some high tides is cut off from the mainland. Where better to organise a truly memorable get-together? The accomodation is scattered around the fort allowing privacy when desired, but a large central kitchen and living area give a nice focal point for sociable evenings.

Saddell House

Kintyre, Argyll and Bute

Saddell House presides at the centre of Saddell bay, a handsome seat built in 1774. It is typical Scottish laird's house of its period, with generously proportioned rooms and large light windows. There is plenty to see and do, with abundent wildlife, great walking, and a beautiful coastline to discover. Perfect for an unforgettable Hogmany.

Silverton Park Stables

Silverton, Devon

This palatial quadrangular stable block was commissioned in the mid 19th century by the 4th Earl of Egremont. Set within an historic parkland, and built around a sunny courtyard, it is a welcoming and evocative place with a large communal room in which to gather. It can be booked for 5, 7, 9, 10, 11 or 14 people.

Wortham Manor

Lifton, Devon

This is a medieval and Tudor house of the highest quality. Few Landmarks can offer such options as this in a game of hide and seek. A great place for a Halloween get-together or indeed for any other excuse.

Gargunnock House

Near Stirling, Central Scotland

Originally a sixteenth-century tower house, but remodelled over the years to include a classical late Georgian façade, Gargunnock House is set within its own estate and family tradition has it that Frederic Chopin once stayed here. There is fine country in all directions and Stirling is nearby, but most of all you can enjoy living in this graceful and pleasantly old-fashioned country house at the foot of the Gargunnock hills.

Villa Saraceno

Finale, Vicenza

Andrea Palladio built this spectacular villa in around 1550 and today it is the only one that you can stay in as if it were your own. It is typical of Palladio's villa designs; a strictly symmetrical plan with grand portico and generously proportioned rooms. During our long restoration frescoed friezes were discovered beneath layers of limewash.
