Mama Awards 2026

Nominee: Beaverbrook

Nominated For: Best family travel brand

Beaverbrook hotel is a standout in family travel, offering an immersive countryside escape where every detail is designed to delight both children and adults. Set across 470 acres, the estate provides a rare balance of adventure, creativity, and relaxation, making it a true haven for families seeking meaningful time together.

At the heart of Beaverbrook’s family offering is its partnership with Sharky & George, Britain’s leading children’s activity experts. Their dynamic kids’ club transforms the outdoors into a playground of imagination, with activities ranging from bug hunting and den building to survival skills and woodland crafts. These high-energy experiences, priced at £35 per child per session for resident guests, ensure children are engaged, active, and inspired during their stay.

Outdoor family adventures are complemented by indoor swimming, private family-friendly cinema screenings, and a woodland play area complete with a treehouse, teepee, and obstacle courses, encouraging exploration and independence.

Dining is equally considered across its range of on-site outlets. With children’s bento boxes at The Japanese Grill, wood-fired pizzas at The Pizzeria and wholesome Anglo-Italian dishes at The Garden House, each menu strikes a balance between fun and familiarity.

Accommodation is designed with families front of mind, particularly within The Village: a collection of ten cottages brought to life by Nicola Harding with whimsical, storybook-inspired interiors. Family suites feature playful bunk beds, perfect for sibling sleepovers, while maintaining the elevated design and comfort synonymous with Beaverbrook.

For parents, moments of calm can be found at the Coach House Spa or beside the outdoor pool, offering a refined counterbalance to the day’s activities. Beaverbrook doesn’t just accommodate families – it celebrates them. By combining luxury, creativity, and genuine thoughtfulness, it creates unforgettable shared experiences that set a new standard for family hospitality.
