Games for Holiday Lets, Holiday Cottages and Airbnbs
Jaques of London stocks games rooms for holiday lets, cottages, Airbnbs and glamping sites: chess, backgammon, dominoes, shut the box and travel games for the shelf, with giant garden games for the lawn. Founded in London in 1795, Jaques is the world's oldest games company.
Games rooms win bookings
Guests actively search for holiday cottages with games rooms, and listing platforms let them filter for it. A well-stocked shelf of traditional games photographs well in a listing and carries the rainy days that reviews remember.
The changeover-proof shelf
Solid wood sets from our chess, backgammon and dominoes ranges survive guest after guest. Keep a piece count inside each lid, check it at changeover, and use spares to keep a set in service when the garden claims a piece.
A starting shelf for one property
- The shelf: chess, backgammon, dominoes, shut the box, classic cards
- The lawn: one giant garden game, photographed for the listing
- The bedrooms: a compact travel game on each windowsill
- Adults-only retreats: swap the skittles for cribbage and mah jongg

Have a Question?
A dependable shelf: chess, backgammon, dominoes, shut the box and a pack of classic card games, plus one giant garden game for the lawn. Enough choice for a wet week, simple enough that no instructions are missed.
Guests actively search and filter listings for games rooms. Well-photographed games in your listing set expectations of a considered property, and they fill the rainy days that reviews remember.
Five or six table games and one garden game covers a family cottage. Larger properties add a second garden game and a travel set or two in the bedrooms. Beyond that, choice becomes clutter.
Yes. A well-styled shelf of wooden games is one of the cheapest photographs that changes how a listing reads, and games rooms are a searchable amenity on the big platforms.
Solid wood sets survive guest after guest. Pieces are the usual casualty, so choose sets with available spares and keep a checklist in the games room for the changeover clean.
Keep a one-line piece count inside each box lid and check it at changeover. When something does wander, spares and accessories keep the set in service rather than in the bin.
Backgammon, chess, cribbage and mah jongg read beautifully in a grown-up sitting room, and a croquet or boules set on the lawn completes the country-house feeling.
Hosts tell us the games room is what rainy-week reviews mention. A shelf of solid wood games costs less than one cancelled booking and works every week of the season.
Yes. From a single cottage to a portfolio, our team will put a games list together per property type and confirm stock and lead times up front.
All Jaques products are EC and UKCA safety tested by an independent testing house. Check the suggested age on each listing when stocking for families.
