Fawley Court -an excellent venue

All the guests at my daughter's wedding celebration at Fawley Court were amazed at the serene ambience of the venue. The facilities suited both young and old . Everything was spotlessly clean and the kitchen and laundry were well equipped. Guests particularly liked the swimming pool and spa as well as the well maintained gardens and courtyard-perfect for photographs. My daughter did the booking from Australia and commented on how efficiently GroupRetreats communicated with her leading up to our stay.

Glentworth Hall in Lincolnshire

Glentworth Hall in Lincolnshire is a great place for the family to get together. There were sixten of us and all of us had en suite rooms. The kitchen is Well equipped for large groups and the dining room is grand. The washing machine broke while we were there and a new one was installed the next day! Impressive service. We brought our little dog and were able to walk very locally to the house. It was a very special week that we will remember for a long time. Very special.

Perfect for a family celebration

We stayed at Ashfield Place Farm for a birthday weekend with a large family. It was the perfect place for a big celebration, so much space both indoors and outdoors, amazing amount of rooms and places to sit, chat, play games and have fun. The tennis court with provided rackets and balls was great. The kitchen is well equipped and the supplies to light the fires is very useful. Everyone loved the house, it was amazing. Thank you very much.

We had such a wonderful time

We had such a wonderful time at Ashfield. Easily accommodated 22 of us, it’s such a big house! Fantastic kitchen, really well equipped and so much space for cooking. Lots of fridge and freezer space too. Loved the hot tub, pool table and tennis courts. Really fantastic choice for a fun filled weekend with friends.

We stayed at The Old Lakenham, Loose, Maidstone

We stayed at The Old Lakenham, in Loose Maidstone for my friends 40th and it was amazing. Beautiful house, very warm & inviting with stunning grounds. Amazing outdoor pool & jacuzzi. 2 outhouses fully equipped with everything you need. Plenty of room for multiple cars. Felt very safe as there are electric gates and surveillance around the outside of the house. Beds were very comfy and towels provided for showers and swimming. The owner was very friendly & even offered to come to the house and helped me get back in after everyone had left as I left a bag there. We are looking to book again over the summer and bring the children as they would absolutely love it. Plenty of games provided for a fun filled break. Would absolutely 100% recommend. ThankYou for having us.

If you like the country farm house vibe…

If you like the country farm house vibe you will LOVE this! I booked this for my Dads birthday with all the family and we just had the best time! Group Retreats were very accommodating and helpful before our stay and great with communication. I needed to speak to the contact I was given as we did have a little trouble finding the gates and he got straight back to us.The house has everything you need! Games, books, pool table, TV, speakers…they’ve thought of everything!The kitchen was well equipped and we brought lots of bits like cleaning bits and bin bags, tea coffee and sugar but it was all there!We created the most special family memories this weekend and absolutely love the house! It will be our family get together location moving forward for sure!!Thanks so much!

Excellent accommodation for large groups

We booked a house through Group Retreats to celebrate a 40th birthday. Very easy to deal with and book, good information provided up front. The house exceeded expectations in terms of space indoor and out, decor and (crucially) equipment and bedding for a large group. Unlike a lot of Airbnb, Vrbo etc properties where you cannot be sure whether it will be properly equipped for a larger group of people, Group Retreats had thought of everything you would need to have an enjoyable time and self-cater for a big number. The properties are reasonably expensive, but a very high quality experience. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

Fabulous stay

The property was so spacious and was so well equipped. The beds were comfy, the house was warm and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The kitchen was so well stocked (except for tea towels and oven gloves!) The property was only a 20 min walk to the beach and we had a wonderful walk the other way with a great lunch at a local pub. Space for all cars to park on the drive too.
