Groups of Friends & Family

Tailor-made group travel
With much to see, do and explore on the doorstep, and time to make up for, discover Britain at its best with an authentic group getaway in the UK that is hand-picked for you. 

Groups of friends
Whether you are celebrating a milestone birthday, a baby shower, a stag do, a graduation, or a milestone or you just fancy a break with your best friends, escape with your whole group for a sensational experience. Each of our hotels is brimming with character and offers plenty of activities (no matter what your interests). 

Indulge with a winter spa break, walk the golden sands in front of L’Horizon, explore the New Forest surrounding Rhinefield House, discover the cellars of Stanbrook Abbey – the possibilities really are endless.

Family-orientated breaks
At Hand Picked Hotels, children are just as important as their parents. We provide big comfort for little legs, from mini VIP dressing gowns to complimentary milk and cookies before bed. 

Our interactive children’s menus will keep them entertained during dinner, and for tiny ones, we have all the equipment you would expect to find in your home away from home, including cots, high chairs, changing mats and bottle warmers. You can relax knowing that everything you need from your UK break has been taken care of.

Choose your rooms 
Each of our luxury country hotels have feature rooms and suites ideal for two, along with those that are catered specifically for groups, including family rooms, rooms that interconnect, and even entire wings that we can dedicate to you and your party.

Choose your dining and leisure experiences
You may prefer to dine outside on our sunny terraces, inside in our unique restaurants or in a historic private dining room with a tasting menu from our Chefs. Our menus are adaptable, with half portions for those with smaller appetites and any allergens easily catered for.

You will find selected hotels with swimming pools and tennis courts, and all have classic indoor and outdoor games for you and your loved ones to enjoy, including backgammon, giant chess, croquet, Frisbee, badminton and boules. These, and all of our other facilities, can also be incorporated into your itinerary to make your stay as relaxing or as active as you like.

Personalised booking service
Our group holiday planning experts create bespoke holidays, whether that is an action-packed family adventure in the UK or a relaxing weekend getaway with your closest friends. 

The more we know about your preferences - such as your desired length of stay, the size of your group and the activities you most enjoy - the more personalised the experience we can deliver. Your personal planner will organise every detail, so you can make the most of each moment. 

Book your break with confidence
Our optional one-to-one online appointments allow us to understand exactly what you want from your hotel getaway in England, Scotland or the Channel Islands. Let us know in the online form whether you would like to arrange an appointment with a personal travel planner.
