Top Company Retreat Venues to Hire in the UK for 2027
Looking for a company retreat venue for 2027? A great offsite needs more than somewhere for everyone to sleep. You need space to bring the team together, a setting that feels like a break from the everyday and enough flexibility to make the trip your own!
Here are three venues we know are well worth considering for your next company retreat!
Near London:
If you want your team to feel like they’ve properly got away without travelling too far from London, Hampshire Estate makes a strong first impression. Set in the Hampshire countryside near Winchester, it has beautiful accommodation, lakes and grounds, and a separate event space for meetings, presentations or group sessions.
There’s plenty to do without leaving the estate, too. On-site activities include tennis, cycling, kayaking, paddle boarding, rowing and wild swimming. That makes it easier to build a retreat that moves naturally between focused work and time together outdoors.
Hampshire Estate is around 1 hour 30 minutes from London by car, with 49 bedrooms listed across its properties. It’s a particularly good choice if you want the meeting space, accommodation and activities to feel like parts of one joined-up experience.
Near Manchester:
For a countryside retreat with flexibility and great value, take a look at Bakewell Estate. Located near Macclesfield in the Peak District, it brings together four properties that can be booked individually or together, depending on the size of your group.
The estate has 23 bedrooms. Its converted barns offer space for team meals and discussions, while the private gardens and surrounding countryside give you room to plan outdoor experiences or simply get everyone out for a walk.
At around 40 minutes from Manchester by car, Bakewell Estate is an appealing option for teams who want an accessible location that still feels like a proper escape. Its self-catering setup also gives you flexibility when planning food and the rest of your itinerary.
Near Bristol:
Planning for a larger team? Devonshire Court gives you room to bring everyone together. This restored Grade II listed manor house near Tiverton has 42 en-suite bedrooms and can accommodate up to 100 guests on site, with nearby lodging available for more than 42 additional guests.
The scale of the property is a big part of its appeal. Grand reception rooms, a separate corporate space, conference facilities and dining for 100 or more mean you can plan everything from workshops and presentations to a memorable team dinner. The landscaped gardens give your group space to step outside between sessions, too.
Devonshire Court is listed as around 1 hour 15 minutes from Bristol by car. If you’ve struggled to find a venue large enough for your whole company retreat, it’s one to explore.
Find the right venue for your 2027 retreat
These three venues offer very different ways to bring a team together: lakeside activities near London, a flexible Peak District escape near Manchester and a large country manor near Bristol. The right choice depends on your group size, what you want to achieve and how
you’d like the time away to feel.
At Company Offsites, we can help you find a pre-vetted venue and bring the rest of the retreat together, from catering and team activities to the itinerary for your stay.
