Corporate retreats in the UK
Team-building has never been so grassroots, and board meetings have never been so captivating; meet our unique collection of homes for corporate retreats in the UK.
Thriving team cultures and strong employer brands start in the roots. Long gone are the days of trust falls, ice-breakers, and escape rooms in the name of cobbled-together team building. From toasting s'mores around the campfire to painting laughter-fuelled portraits in grand manors, make your next company retreat a little less routine, and a little more convivial, by moving your headquarters to one of our homes made for corporate retreats in the UK; many are just a couple of hours from London.
Whether you already have a list of requirements or you're in pursuit of inspiration, we can recommend luxury accommodation with all the trimmings, taking into account every tiny detail, from private catering to surfing. From balcony-wrapped beach houses that could be lifted from the California coast to historic Martello towers with all the hallmarks of a fire-warmed fortress, these corporate venues from Cornwall to the Lake District are just the ticket for companies who care about their culture.
