Where do I begin!Amazing stay at Glentworth Hall. Such a fabulous property.Expectations were exceeded, not just with the property, with the customer experience from beginning to end. This company truly cares about it's guests. Regular updates, nothing was too much trouble. What an absolute gem the caretaker is too. Went above and beyond for our group. Seriously nothing was too much trouble. Not that we had any major concerns.I do think it is incredibly sad when guests leave such negative comments as this has such a huge impact on bookings. I would highly recommend anyone booking through this company, to call them and speak to their staff. They are super helpful and extremely knowledgeable. This is the second property we have had the pleasure of staying in with Group Retreats and will definitely be booking again. I can't rate them high enough!
Alward House was the perfect place for our family of 18 to get together. We had 8 children ranging from 9 yrs to 7 months. The provision of high chairs and travel cots made life much easier. The house was SO well equipped with plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. The heated outdoor pool and hot tub were a real high light which everyone enjoyed. We were looking forward to playing tennis but unfortunately half the court was covered in moss so it was very slippery and not suitable to play on. But we were able to play table tennis in the barn instead.The views from the house were beautiful and the space outside and in was perfect for all ages. Duane was an excellent caretaker and was most helpful.Thank you for great instructions to find our way to the house. We shall certainly be using Group Retreats again.
Fantastic weekend at Abbey House to celebrate our Mums special birthday. The house is tastefully decorated, beautifully furnished with lots of comfort and we has lots space everyone to congregate. We made the most of the hot tub and pool. We enjoyed the games room and also the piano provided lots of entertainment too. We did have a couple of hiccups with the plumbing which is obviously incredibly old and could do with replacing but the caretaking staff were on hand and happy to support. The Group Retreat staff were extremely efficient and helpful from booking to answering my many questions which made our weekend run so smoothly.I would like to give an extra big THANK YOU to Danny and Ross( caretakers ) who were absolutely brilliant when my mum realised she had lost a piece of jewellery ( which she had accidentally dropped and left behind at the house). They went above and beyond to ensure Mum got the item back safely and this was very much appreciated. 10/10 customer service! Mum was thrilled with her fabulous weekend of fun and beautiful memories. Thank you
The company was very well organised and ensured that there was contact throughout the booking process, before the weekend and after. They were on hand for queries which was brilliant.The property itself was amazing and so well set up for my 60th birthday party. We had a mixture of adults and young children. I loved that there were books, rocking horse (with adult supervision) and dolls house for the younger ones to play with. The children spent so much time playing in the extensive garden and there was room for kite flying too. Nobody was bored. The dungeon was perfect as a party palace and the Castle had so much room that if you wanted peace and quiet you could find it. The bedrooms mostly had en suite and were of a good standard with stunning bathrooms. A big thank you to Kier who ensured that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. He was able to help us with queries, where to find things and nothing was too much trouble to him.
Stayed at Ashfield Place Farm and it's absolutely stunning. I enjoy peaceful weekends away with my family in authentic country houses surrounded by nature and this was one of our best stays so far. The staff went out of their way to assist myself and my wife during our visit. Very pleased.
Fantastic stay at Ashfield Place Farm. It’s so nice to be able to write a glowing review. From our first communication with Group Retreats we have had a wholly positive experience. No question too big or small. The staff have all been amazing and special mention should go to Lia who seemed to be at the end of a phone whenever we needed anything. She even popped over with tennis balls when we couldn’t find them in the house. The house was awesome. Perfect for a family gathering. It had everything we needed and the food and wine treats awaiting us on our arrival was a really lovely touch. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Group Retreats again and would love to go back to Ashfield Place Farm.
Group Retreats were very helpful, responsive and understanding throughout the entire process. I received quick responses, lots of information documents and emails, and support on questions I had around the booking. Would recommend and would use again.
The house provided everything we could have wanted for a birthday party. Lots of comfortable spaces in which to hang out, a fabulous conservatory from which to enjoy the beautiful view - especially delightful when it rained, a great patio with plenty of seating and a sheltered area where my son set up his pizza oven and cooked for 20 people; very comfortable bedrooms with good ensuite provision. Plus a kitchen with almost everything we needed. If you like properly sharp knives or very large bowls or a teapot, bring your own, but otherwise, more than enough crockery, pans, coffee making provision. Was delighted with all the fridges, large sinks and bins for our rubbish, a great oven and hob. 2 huge pans which are ideal for large number cooking. It was all spotlessly clean. Caretaker was very helpful. My main worry with organising my family gathering was, “what if it rains?” Well, it did and we barely noticed because the house was such a great place to hang out, chat, eat, play games. Honestly, I was thrilled.
