There are plenty of reasons to get the whole gang together again. Maybe someone’s getting married, celebrating a big birthday, or it’s just been way too long since you last saw each-other.
Whatever your “why”, choosing your “where” is an important task, since the ideal retreat has to feature a little something for everyone. Luxurious sociable spaces, flexible sleeping arrangements, convivial dining areas, a nice big kitchen, cosy TV nooks – oh, and a garden for enjoying the sunshine.
Throw a little uniqueness into the mix, and your group’s get-together will be memorable for all the best reasons – ones everyone will still be raving about years later!
We’re talking private-hire pubs with working beer pumps and garden hot tubs. Landmarks, such as a former reservoir with ‘hidden’ glass-lined rooms and an al fresco bar, will get everyone’s jaw dropping. Or if you’ve got heads for heights, how about a soaring sky tower, with a roof garden for the most incredible far-reaching views?
Each of these one-off, large group retreats will compel everyone to relax, re-connect, and revel in this precious time spent all together – as you make memories to last a lifetime.
So, if you’re planning something special for next year, pick a favourite and secure it nice and early. Not only will you avoid that sinking feeling of “oh, it’s already booked” disappointment, but the rest of your group will thank you!
