Set within 700 acres of rolling countryside, this well-located hotel offers the space and flexibility that makes travelling with children feel easy.

Things to do at Whittlebury Park with kids
One of the biggest draws is the range of activities available on-site, meaning you don’t need to venture far to fill your days. Indoors, the swimming pool is always a highlight, particularly on rainy days, while the games room and cinema room provide fun family entertainment in the evenings. Younger guests are also well catered for with activity packs, including colouring, treasure maps, and small treats.
Outside, the setting really comes into its own. Surrounded by open countryside, there are woodland walks ideal for slower mornings or post-dinner strolls. The play park gives children space to burn off some energy, while classic outdoor games such as swingball, giant chess, and checkers make it easy to spend time together as a family.
For those who like to stay active, there are also sports facilities, including badminton, table tennis, and Toptracer golf, which is particularly popular with older children and teenagers. Having these options on site adds variety and helps keep everyone engaged.
Dining, Relaxation, and time for parents
Food is an important part of any family break, and having dining options on site makes everything more convenient. With a mix of relaxed and more refined settings available, it’s easy to find something that suits both adults and children. Specialist 2 and 3-course kids menus can be found in both the Silverstone Bar and Astons Restaurant, with the Silverstone Bar also offering kids bento boxes.
While the focus is very much on families, there’s also a good opportunity for parents to unwind. The 5 Bubble-rated spa is a popular feature of the hotel and offers a chance to relax and recharge, adding to the overall appeal for those looking for a break that caters to everyone.
