Family getaways in England
If action-packed days are your forte, you can spend happy hours exploring our extensive grounds and woodland walks, venturing out into your countryside or beach surroundings, or visiting the myriad of attractions nearby.
Family getaways can be relaxing too! If you prefer a calmer pace with time to unwind, visit one of our spa hotels in the UK and enjoy an indulgent treatment or take 40 winks for yourself beside the pool, while the children burrow into their holiday read.
Family-friendly breaks
At Hand Picked Hotels, children are just as important to us as their parents. We provide big comfort for little legs, from VIP mini dressing gowns to complimentary milk and cookies before bed. 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.
Reconnect with those you love
Across the collection, we offer a wide selection of bedrooms to choose from, many of which have been catered specifically for families, from rooms that interconnect*, to large family bedrooms and luxurious suites providing an abundance of space with room to lounge and dine together.
We still believe in good old fashioned family fun
You will find selected hotels with swimming pools, tennis courts, giant chess 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.
Our partnerships with fellow family-owned, British brands Joules (whose characterful clothing and accessories feature in our hotels) and Jaques of London (the oldest games company in the world) mean you enjoy the best of the best when it comes to family fun.
Good times, great food
Our talented chefs ensure that our children and adult menus are equally as tempting, with the option to dine in our restaurant or in your very own private dining room. Not only that, there's a wealth of history to immerse yourselves in at each of our family-owned hotels.
