Family Accommodation Leicester
Family trips are easier when everyone has room to settle in. Instead of booking several hotel rooms, choose a furnished house or apartment where you can cook together, relax in a proper living area and give adults and children the space they need.
Sanctuary provides family accommodation across Leicester and Leicestershire for holidays, family visits, celebrations, university occasions and longer stays. Our portfolio includes smaller homes for parents and children as well as larger properties for extended families travelling together.

Tell us who is staying, where you need to be and which facilities matter most. We will help you find an available property that suits the people in your group—not simply the total guest number.
More Space for Time Together
A family stay is about more than having enough beds. Mornings, meals and evenings are more comfortable when there is space to move around, store belongings and spend time together without everyone being confined to one room.
Depending on the property you choose, your family can benefit from:
- Separate bedrooms for adults and children
- A fully equipped kitchen for breakfasts and family meals
- A comfortable lounge and dining space
- WiFi and televisions for entertainment and downtime
- Washing machines and practical facilities for longer visits
- Private parking at selected properties
- Gardens or outdoor space at suitable houses
- Flexible bed arrangements at selected properties
Facilities and sleeping arrangements vary, so check the individual property details and tell our team about any essentials before booking.
A Practical Base for Family Visits
Families visit Leicester and Leicestershire for many different reasons. You may be seeing relatives, attending a wedding, visiting a student, enjoying an event or exploring the city and surrounding countryside. The right base depends on the journeys you expect to make each day.
Sanctuary manages accommodation in Leicester and across surrounding towns and villages. If the postcode matters more than the town name, use our property location map or send us the places you need to reach. We can help you compare available options by location, household size, bedrooms, parking and other practical requirements.

Choosing the Right Property for Your Family
A listing may sleep the correct number of guests but still not have the right arrangement for your household. Before booking, look beyond the headline capacity and consider how the bedrooms, beds, bathrooms and shared spaces will work in practice.
Please tell us:
- The number of adults and children travelling
- The ages of any children where this affects sleeping arrangements
- How many separate bedrooms and beds you need
- Whether a bath, ground-floor room or other facility is essential
- How many vehicles require parking
- Whether you need a garden or outdoor space
- The postcode or attraction you want to remain near
- Whether you are bringing a pet
We can then recommend suitable available choices and point out any details that should be confirmed before arrival.
Family Stays of More Than a Few Nights
A kitchen, washing machine and separate living space become even more valuable when a family visit extends beyond a weekend. Many Sanctuary properties are suitable for longer bookings, allowing you to unpack, prepare meals and maintain familiar routines.
If you expect to stay for several weeks, tell us at the enquiry stage. We can help you prioritise storage, laundry facilities, workspace, parking and access to the places you will visit regularly. Longer stays and extensions remain subject to availability.
