Housebreaking 8 week old puppy – Confined freely to 1 room or crate?

I've been swatting up on housebreaking and have come across crating puppies to housetrain them. Has anyone used this technique - pros/cons or is using puppy bed and cleaning up accidents best for pup? Also what size should the crate be - I've bought one but I think it's too small personally - he can only just turn around in it - I'd be grateful for your views on this.
