The Best Airbnbs For Big 30th Birthday Bashes
By Alice Tate
You only turn 30 once. And as you’ve probably been thinking about it every day since you turned 28 — whether you’re dreading it or revelling in that older, wiser energy — it’d be wrong not to go all out with your celebrations. Thirty is a milestone. And technically, if you look at it the way we do, your 30th party should be three times better than your 10th birthday and a third bigger and better than your 20th.
Given that reserving a table at your local pub isn’t possible right now (even as they start to reopen) making grander plans for a post lockdown bash is the goal. As travelling in the UK becomes possible, dreams of having a trip to suit your tastes are once again in reach. And whether you’re kitsch or classic, regal or minimalist, the internet has options for you, plenty of ‘em.
Like something out of a fairy tale — complete with The Princess and The Pea-style beds — this beautiful farmhouse in Wiltshire is the ultimate ‘weekend with friends’ abode. The eight-bed, eight-bath house, which sleeps 16, has perfectly manicured grounds complete with a stream and picnic benches in the garden. It even comes with the option of a private chef, so no one has to worry about being cooped up in the kitchen while everyone else is outside popping bottles.
From £725 per night
