Group Retreats Avis 

We stayed at Saham Grove Hall in February to celebrate my mum’s 70th birthday, and it was the perfect setting for a special family weekend. The property exceeded all our expectations and made the occasion truly memorable.

There were 14 adults and 5 children in our group, and the house accommodated us all with ease. The large, spacious bedrooms and generous family gathering areas meant everyone had room to relax and enjoy themselves. The games room kept the kids (and adults!) entertained, and the hot tub was a real treat.

Everything was spotless, well-equipped, and ready for us on arrival. The booking process with Group Retreats was smooth and professional from start to finish.

We made so many wonderful memories and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Saham Grove Hall to anyone planning a group celebration or getaway.

The people who manage group retreats are absolute thieves. They will accuse you of things that you haven’t done weeks after you left their property. Do not book with them. They will not return your deposit.

We had a two night stay in Olive Cottage and it was perfect. Six of us met up for a school reunion after over 40 years apart! The cottage was exactly how it is pictured and very clean, tidy and well equipped. We had a bedroom each, utilising the sofa bed which is upstairs in its own area, so not in the lounging space downstairs. There were plenty of bathrooms for us all.
The welcome basket was the best any of us had ever seen and we are all over 60, so know a thing or two about welcome baskets! A really nice surprise and full of good quality products. The whole cottage was very comfortable and exceptional good value. We all agreed that we would definitely recommend it and some of us are thinking of booking again for a stay with our extended family. The village of Bampton is nearby, if you are a Downton Abbey fan it is definitely worth a visit as all the outside shots were filmed there. A really picturesque village with a great pub.

We stayed for a long weekend in this Property Absolutely Stunning everything you could wish for Outdoor pool/Jacuzzi/Spotless. Breathtaking Views what a Fantastic Experience. Well worth a visit. Definitely would like to return one day. 😍

We stayed at Fawley court for my initmate wedding near by. It was absolutely brilliant like we imagined. Everything was perfect. The place is a big maze but we quickly figured out in an hour. Cheers. Absolutely recommended.

The best place truly took my breath away how beautiful it was 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Fantastic location, fantastic and beautiful property. Clean and everything you would ever need.

If I could give more stars I would
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had 3 perfect days and nights at Caer Beris Manor, a group of family and friends ranging from 9 months to 88 years old.
The Manor was beautiful and clean with a hot tub, a pool, a lake, all you could ask for, the grounds are stunning and we were also blessed with wonderful weather to fully enjoy it all.
Will definitely return!

We originally found Ashfield Place Farm on the internet and through some research we then found it on Group Retreats at a better value for money cost, compared to other sites.

We booked this house through group retreats as a surprise for our friends hen do. 24 of us stayed at the home for the weekend and had an unforgettable time.

Group retreats were so helpful and forthcoming prior to the booking, ensuring that we were all set and providing a courtesy call prior to our stay.
The information given was clear and they were extremely helpful.

The home itself was BEAUTIFUL. We spent the day by the pool soaking up the sunshine. The rooms accommodated for all of us and more.

We were welcomed by a food hamper left in the kitchen for us. The kitchen was well kitted out, the only problem we found was the one conventional oven was not big enough for the amount we were trying to cook.

It was exceptionally clean and tidy and although the building was slightly old in places it was full of traditional touches and history.

The gardens went on for miles. We wish we had stayed for a whole week!

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Olive Cottage, celebrating our golden wedding anniversary with all of the family. There were 11 of us altogether and there was plenty of room for the children to play and the adults to relax in the evening. The hot tub was a great 0success!

We had a wonderful family getaway this Easter weekend. Some issues with the hot tub which was a shame but currently being investigated. Wonderful property with plenty of space and excellent amenities.

Great place and really enjoyed the hamper with the goodies. We only used three of the bed rooms and it might be even better with a bigger group.

We had a fantastic time. It was a family Easter get away 18 of us for 2 nights at the saham Grove Hall. We all loved the house was spacious, very clean and a really equipped kitchen.we enjoyed the hot tub, pool and played games in the garden. We planning to go again next year 2026. Definitely recommend.

We had a lovely stay. The house was perfect for 21 people. The views and the garden were beautiful. We would Definitely recommend it .

There was a group of 25 girls who stayed at Abbey House for a hen do last weekend. I couldn’t recommend it or Group Retreats any more. The house was amazing and extremely well equipped and the communication throughout from Group Retreats was great. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful weekend we have just had at Alward House near Salisbury. A beautiful house with stunning grounds & views. 23 of us from 6 months to 91 years old had a great stay. Loads of room for us all, spacious living areas, really well maintained and stocked with crockery and everything you can think of that you'll need. The heated outdoor swimming pool, hot tub, tennis court and table tennis table all just a short walk away kept everyone entertained. Ross the caretaker manager was really friendly & helpful particularly when a power cut knocked the gas out a couple of times - this being the only reason knocked down to 4 stars instead of 5. A truly memorable family weekend.

Just returned from a 2 night stay at glentworth hall for my daughters hen party with 19 girls What a fantastic place so much space lounges,cinema room games room,dining room and the most well equipped kitchen I've every seen we didn't want for anything. The bedrooms were very grand and the whole place was immaculately clean. Stuart the caretaker was super helpful when we had a slight problem with the projector but soon sorted it out and was very friendly throughout. The outside space was well kept and great especially for our old style sports day. The swim pool was a great bonus. Everyone was happy and complimented the whole weekend. Would definitely look at group retreats first when looking to book a large party get together again their communications were spot on.

An amazing house with wonderful grounds. Saham Grove Hall is an ideal accommodation for large groups of people wanting to spend time together. Everything was spotlessly clean, the house including bedrooms is spacious and the facilities - snooker table, outdoor pool, hot tub and tennis courts are ideal for a break away together.

Had an amazing time At Alward house. F The facility’s and the house were absolutely stunning maintained to a very high standard. Met the caretaker Dwayne who was great he showed us everything we had questions about. We had a great company get together thank you

Just enjoyed a great family stay at Castle Eden.
Group Retreats made the booking & check in process hassle free.
Venue was as expected, clean, tidy & well equipped with everything we needed.
I have no hesitation in recommending booking stay with Group Retreats
