Brookside: A Grand Georgian Escape Made for Memorable Group Getaways

Brookside: A Grand Georgian Escape Made for Memorable Group Getaways

There’s something rather special about arriving at a beautiful country house with the people you love most. The bags get dropped in the hallway, someone immediately claims the best bedroom, somebody else puts the kettle on, and within ten minutes everyone is already saying, “We should do this more often.”

Brookside was made for exactly those moments.

This stunning Georgian manor house offers the perfect countryside escape for groups wanting space, comfort, and a little bit of luxury without losing that relaxed, home-from-home feel. Sleeping up to 24 guests across eight large bedrooms, Brookside is ideal for family gatherings, celebration weekends, old friends reuniting, or simply escaping everyday life for a few days somewhere beautiful.

And this August, selected stays are available with a £500 saving.

Available dates:
• August 3
• August 17
• August 24

Special Offer:
• 3 nights — £3,350
• 4 nights — £3,550

From the moment you arrive, Brookside feels designed for spending proper time together. One of the standout features is the grand dining area, where the whole group can gather around one table for long breakfasts, celebratory dinners, takeaway feasts, or the kind of evenings where dessert somehow turns into midnight conversations and another bottle of wine.

The large lounge gives everyone room to spread out and relax, whether that means catching up on the sofa, watching films together, or simply enjoying a slower pace for a few days. Meanwhile, the games room and party room provide plenty of entertainment for all ages, making Brookside particularly popular with multi-generational families and groups with teenagers or young adults who appreciate having their own space to unwind.

Outside, the heated outdoor swimming pool becomes the heart of the house during the summer months. On warm August afternoons, it’s easy to lose hours here with a book, a drink, or simply enjoying the rare luxury of nowhere else to be.

For guests wanting an extra touch of indulgence, a hot tub can also be hired during your stay.

One of the things guests love most about Brookside is how comfortably it caters for mixed-age groups. The ground floor bedroom is ideal for elderly or less mobile guests, meaning grandparents or relatives who may struggle with stairs don’t need to miss out on the fun.

The location also adds to Brookside’s charm. Set within a friendly village, guests have the convenience of a local shop, café, and pub nearby — perfect for a morning coffee run, a relaxed pint in the evening, or picking up those forgotten essentials that somehow never make it into the packing.

While the house itself is more than enough reason to visit, Brookside also makes an excellent base for exploring the surrounding countryside. Whether your group prefers scenic walks, riverside lunches, country pubs, market towns, or simply relaxing back at the manor house, the area offers the best of a classic countryside break without feeling remote or difficult to reach.

Large group holidays can often feel complicated to organise, but Brookside makes it surprisingly easy. Everyone stays together under one roof, there’s space for both socialising and quiet moments, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between elegant and welcoming.

The hardest part, honestly, is agreeing who gets the biggest bedroom.

With prime August dates now available — and savings included — Brookside offers the perfect excuse to finally book the gathering everyone keeps talking about.
