Luxury Family Hotels is announcing a number of exciting pop ups at its hotels this year to entertain families as they enjoy a well-deserved break post lockdown.

After a year of not seeing family and friends, 2021 could well be the year of the big reunion too. So whether you are holidaying with immediate family or can reunite with loved ones and even catch up with missed friends, Luxury Family Hotels has covered off all bases and is making the first of a series of announcements on its Great British Staycation 2021 in a number of its beautifully located hotels.

Simon Maguire, Managing Director, Luxury Family Hotels, himself a dad-of-two who has been balancing working from home with home schooling, comments:

“Families had a really challenging time last year and this third lockdown has been particularly tough on lots of levels. We know from conversations we are having on a daily basis with our guests that families are eagerly anticipating an escape from their daily routine and literally cannot wait to have the chance to kick back and relax, stay in a hotel in a beautiful location, be wined and dined, and enjoy some fun together as well as some long overdue ‘me’ time. As a result, we are delighted to make the first announcement of what we have planned for Luxury Family Hotels’ Great British staycation this spring and summer.”

From the planned reopening of the hotels on Monday 17th May, a series of engaging and fun pop ups will start to appear at a number of the hotels in the Luxury Family Hotels collection. These are set to entertain guests young and old and include…

Moonfleet Manor, Jurassic Coast, Dorset

While the doors have been closed at Moonfleet Manor, the hotel team has been busy refurbishing its lounges, restaurant, cinema and other communal areas, ensuring it is in keeping with the story of Moonfleet and its magnificent seaside location.

Taking advantage of Moonfleet’s wonderful views overlooking Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon, the hotel is launching a pop up pizzeria in the hotel’s garden by the children’s play area. Opening May Half Term (May 28th)i, this will serve freshly made pizza using local Dorset ingredients as well as those just picked from the hotel’s own kitchen garden. As well as a choice of mouth-watering foods, local beers and ales will also be served as well as local ice-creams from award-winning luxury Dorset ice-cream maker Purbeck, including the hugely popular Dig-A-Saurus.

This July also sees the launch of Moonfleet Manor’s first ever Tennis Academy. Offering complimentary and supervised tennis coaching sessions for children aged six to 15-years-old on its two dedicated tennis courts, the Academy launches on 10 July and will run to 5 September 2021. Private tennis lessons will also be available priced £45 per 45-minute session for guests who want to learn from the pros.

As we’ve all been cooped up in our homes during lockdown, an opportunity to have fun outdoors is definitely a focus this year and family members will have the opportunity to challenge each other in Moonfleet Manor’s very own ‘GIANT Games’. Located in the hotel’s grounds, games include giant Jenga, giant dominoes, giant hopscotch and Connect Four.

Rooms from £189 per night on a B&B basis.

This year, the hotel is partnering with Perrier-Jouët and will open its first ever Perrier-Jouët Cocktail Bar in its beautiful walled garden in July. With relaxed seating, it is set to provide the perfect spot to enjoy a Champagne cocktail while the children play safely on the many outdoor games located in the walled garden.

The hotel staff will be on hand to offer their local tips on best places for wildlife spotting.

As well as all that the New Forest has to offer including biking and nature walks, the hotel will host a pop up English Sparkling Wine bar in collaboration with the team at Hambledon Vineyard which is situated a short drive away from New Park Manor.

The bar will serve the classic Cuvee and Rose sparkling wine which guests can enjoy while relaxing in the gardens as children have fun in the outdoor playground.

Fowey Hall, Fowey, Cornwall

Overlooking the Fowey estuary, Fowey Hall offers the perfect place for rest and relaxation, excitement and adventure and is an idyllic destination for a luxury family-friendly holiday by the sea.

In the food and drink stakes, Cornwall is a national and global force to be reckoned with. From fertile land and clean seas, comes the finest fresh produce visitors will find anywhere. Celebrating the fabulous local producers is the main focus for Fowey Hall’s pop up as it launches a bi-weekly market starting 30th May. Running every other Sunday morning, 9.30am-12.30pm, it will feature stalls offering food, beverage, craft and community initiative, and will run throughout the summer.

To bring to life the concept, the hotel is partnering with Farms to Feed Us (an organisation that connects small-scale farmers with consumers) and the market will feature hand picked producers and artists who share the hotel’s vision for sustainable and local produce. The market will offer guests a chance to pick up gifts and something for themselves while supporting local producers as well as being a lovely memory of their stay at Fowey Hall.

After the market has finished and just before dinner (4.30pm-6pm), talented local musicians will be given a platform to showcase their talents while guests enjoy the hotel’s terrace with spectacular views over the estuary and children can play in its extensive grounds.

The hotel team is also preparing to officially launch its new Wind in the Willows inspired children’s play area where children of all ages can run wild. The play area has been created by TouchWood Designs, who have recently worked with The Duchess of Cambridge on her Back to Nature garden at the Chelsea Flower Show and on her new play area at RHS Wisley. Full of fun and adventure it includes a 30-metre zip wire, nest swings, springer lily pads and an event space where children can read a classic tale or enact a play of their own.

Luxury Family Hotels is opening its first shop at Fowey Hall in Cornwall and also online this December.

Named ‘The Little Shop’ and located in the old stable yard at Fowey Hall, it has been carefully and lovingly curated by contributing editor of the FT’s How to Spend It and House & Garden and former editor at large of British Vogue Fiona Golfar, who has a family home in Fowey.

The shop offers an eclectic collection of homewares, clothing, books, beauty products and gifts and is brimming with items that each have their own story, with many sustainably and ethically sourced.

Following its multi-million-pound refurbishment, Fowey Hall Hotel offers an ultra-stylish and luxurious place to stay in one of the most desirable areas in south Cornwall. The 36-bedroom hotel boasts sweeping sea views and vistas over the estuary and picturesque Fowey harbour.

Simon Maguire, Managing Director, Luxury Family Hotels, says:

“Throughout the major refurbishment, the hotel’s interior design team worked with renowned local artists and the best craftsmen in their fields in order to create a range of bespoke interiors from wallpapers and stylish furniture to interesting guest room details which celebrates the best of craftsmanship in both Cornwall and also in Britain. We wanted to continue this theme and so ‘The Little Shop’ was born.”

“Stocking both local Cornish suppliers and those from a little further afield it brings together a real blend of all the things we love and is a great place for our guests, visitors to the area and the local community to find something special and unique.”

Fiona Golfar adds:

“Over the years at Vogue I used to joke that what I really saw myself doing after I left was eating cake sitting on a rocker in front of my own little shop stuffed with things I like! It’s almost come true.”

“When Fowey Hall offered me a little space to curate, I said yes without thinking.”

“During lockdown, I supported local Cornish potters who were struggling via Instagram and had had such a good response. I then decided to approach a mixture of people both in Cornwall and around the world whose work I love and see if they wanted to sell in The Little Shop. Many of these people have struggled in these past months, from women’s collectives in India to London-based small businesses and of course the fabulous talent found in Cornwall.”

“The Little Shop is simply that. From jams and relishes made by my oldest friend Skye Gyngell of Spring restaurant, to my favourite aromatherapy oils from the brilliant Dee Sandford and Celtic & Co sheepskins, lovely dressing gowns from An Indian Summer…. the thing that connects all these brands is that they are all in my house already… why? Because I love them.”

Highlights in The Little Shop include:

•  John Webb pottery: Based in Lostwithiel has worked as a potter since 1972, initially self-taught after being inspired by a visit to a pottery in 1968. Since then he has gone on to be an assistant in various studios, watching how different potters perfect their technique. He was later offered a job in pottery in Fowey with his wife, which is what led to opening his own studio in Lostwithiel.

• Mandy from Kernow Knitting began knitting at four-years-old, being taught by her mother. She started making jumpers before moving onto making soft toys, enjoying the challenge of different patterns. Mandy has spent the last 15 years working with children, which is what led to being inspired to make different characters, we are stocking her beautiful hand-knitted Mr and Mrs Bunny and Cornish bears donning the un-mistakable Cornish tartan.

• Maison Bengal is a fashion brand that is based in Bangladesh in southern Asia. The Maison works with three Fair Trade organisations within Bangladesh and provides training in handicraft production. They work with each group separately to utilise their locally grown materials and develop their renowned traditional skills. The Maison now works with over 5,000 women throughout Bangladesh, who are now able to work in their home environment, which enables them to care for and financially support their families. The materials used are locally grown in different communities in Bangladesh, primarily Jute and Hogla (local seagrass).
• The Little Shop is proud to stock waterproof outwear brand Rains. Scandinavian designed, Rains is simple in style yet maintains the highest quality of wet weather gear. They decided to reinvent the traditional rubber raincoat in a novel way, ideal for the Cornish weather!
• The shop also continues our partnership with The White Company, stocking its exclusively created pyjamas featuring the playful icons from each of the five Luxury Family Hotels, children’s bedding, towels, cashmere bed socks and diffusers.

Fiona Golfar added:

“We’re also launching a gift concierge service so if families and friends want to pre-order any items they like on The Little Shop Instagram page, we can have them wrapped and waiting as guests arrive at the hotel.”

Bestselling author David Walliams officially opens library at Luxury Family Hotels’ Fowey Hall

International bestselling author and Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams paid a visit to Cornwall’s Fowey Hall Hotel at the weekend to officially open its impressive library.

Thought to be the largest children’s library in any hotel in the UK, it is home to more than 800 books appealing to children of all ages as well as a selection of great reads for adults. It also houses a collection of vintage photography and prints that tell the story of the hotel and its literary links.

A small group of local children joined David Walliams for the official opening along with Simon Maguire, MD of Luxury Family Hotels, and Kate Longman of Fowey’s independent bookshop Shrew Books (formerly Bookends of Fowey) who works with Fowey Hall to curate the selection of books so that they appeal to guests of all ages when they stay at the luxury family hotel. (1)

David Walliams said:

“In a world of deadlines and constant interruptions, many families are juggling work, personal commitments and their lives are currently restricted due to the pandemic. A library, however big or small, can often be the perfect place to retreat and enjoy a book without distraction.”

“It’s a real pleasure to visit Fowey Hall and open its wonderful library. I’m honoured to declare it open for literary indulgence!”

Simon Maguire, Managing Director, Luxury Family Hotels, added:

“One of the most relaxing things about getting away, whether it’s to the beach or a long weekend out of town, is that you get the chance to pick up a book. As part of our major refurbishment, we wanted Fowey Hall to offer a luxury stay with relaxation guaranteed and our library has been carefully designed to do just that, enabling our guests – whatever their age – to while away the hours, sink into the sofas and comfy chairs with a good book.”

Fowey: inspiring authors old and new

The pretty sailing town of Fowey on the south Cornish coast has provided inspiration and a home to many authors including Daphne du Maurier and Kenneth Grahame, author of The Wind in the Willows.

Grahame first came to Fowey in 1899, staying at the Fowey Hotel while convalescing from pneumonia. Here he became friends with Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (Q), who introduced him to life in Fowey, he also married Elspeth Thompson in St Fimbarrus Church in Fowey in the same year. Although the marriage was a somewhat unhappy one, Grahame often sought refuge in Fowey spending much time with Q and on the river. It was during these visits that he wrote to Alastair, his only son (affectionally known as Mouse) with his tales of the riverbank. These letters and other bedtime stories were to make up The Wind in the Willows.

Cornwall’s Got (Cake) Talent

To celebrate the official opening of the library, instead of a normal ribbon cutting ceremony, Fowey Hall Hotel commissioned Penzance-based award-winning cake makers Peboryon – stars of Channel 4’s Extreme Cake Makers – to create
an innovative hand-painted pop-up book cake fit for the occasion (hi res pictures available in link below). With the famous Fowey Hall in the background, the seasonally inspired blackberry and apple cake features Ratty and Mole playing on the river, with Mr Toad reading David Walliams latest novel, The World’s Worst Parents.

Fowey Hall Hotel

Following its multi-million-pound refurbishment, Fowey Hall Hotel officially reopened its doors to guests in July, offering an ultra stylish and luxurious place to stay in one of the most desirable areas in south Cornwall. The 36-bedroom hotel boasts sweeping sea views and vistas over the estuary and picturesque Fowey harbour.

Throughout the major refurbishment, the hotel’s interior design team worked with renowned local artists and the best craftsmen in their fields in order to create a range of bespoke interiors from wallpapers and stylish furniture to interesting guest room details which celebrates the best of craftsmanship in both Cornwall and also in Britain.

The family hotel includes an OFSTED registered crèche, children’s outdoor playground which gives a playful nod to The Wind in the Willows, a luxury cinema room, retro games room, morning room, bar and restaurant as well as an indoor swimming pool and spa.

Luxury Family Hotels’ Fowey Hall is about to undergo a multi-million pound refurbishment to create a stylish and sleek new look ready for guests to enjoy from early next year.

Built in 1899 as a family home by Sir Charles Hanson, the Grade II hotel is located in the idyllic harbour town of Fowey on the South Cornish coast and offers all the grandeur of a stately home with its beautiful vaulted ceilings, elaborate fireplaces and touches of opulence.

The full-scale refurbishment will cover all of the hotel’s 36 bedrooms and see new guest bathrooms in both the main house and its Garden Wing. Beautifully interior designed and employing a playful use of colour, all bedrooms feature new contemporary lighting, a mix of old and new furniture with a subtle reference to the architectural period of the building, stripped or reclaimed timber flooring with large rugs to add softness, the bedrooms now have a contemporary authentic look and feel. Meanwhile the bathrooms include new vanity units with wall lights, traditional radiators, panelled walls painted in warming hues and soft geometric patterned tiles to give a more contemporary look while still offering the utmost in comfort.

With Fowey rapidly becoming the place to go in Cornwall with its flourishing food and drink scene, the hotel will also have a stylish new Bar and Afternoon Tea Lounge. A truly versatile space, guests will be able to enjoy a classic Cornish afternoon tea, coffees and pastries as well as sharing plates in this area.
They will also be able to relax and enjoy the hotel’s extensive wine list, a selection of cocktails and mocktails, artisan spirits and champagnes.

The hotel’s restaurant is also undergoing complete refurbishment. Another flexible space – with a maximum of 110 covers it’s perfect for weddings and events – but with its clever new design, the restaurant will also be able to adapt and also offer a more intimate dining experience.

The hotel’s reception and lounge areas, spa, library, games room, OFSTED-registered crèche and indoor pool will also be upgraded along with its outside space which spans four acres.

The refurbishment, which has already discreetly started, will be completed over the first six weeks of 2020 (when the hotel will be temporarily closed), reopening on 14 February 2020. Once the Fowey Hall refurbishment is complete, further significant investment for the other hotels in the Luxury Family Hotels’ collection will follow in 2020 and 2021.

The changes taking place at Fowey Hall are a direct response to a piece of major research by Kantar commissioned by Luxury Family Hotels earlier in 2019 which took a closer look at the needs of modern families and their expectations of what a luxury experience means today.

This was the most in-depth research study by the brand in the last decade and is informing Luxury Family Hotels on how best to present itself to its guests – both digitally, experientially and physically in its hotel offering – and to ensure that the brand stays relevant to today’s ever-changing demographics.

For example, with this refurbishment there has been a greater focus on communal spaces and making these work as flexible as possible when families are coming together – whether it’s to enjoy dinner, have a drink and order some sharing plates of food, or just to hang out, spending quality time, having fun and relaxing. This is in recognition of the fact that today’s families value celebrating the time they spend together and the places that facilitate that connection – places where family memories are created.

Adrian Burley, Marketing Director, Luxury Family Hotels, said:

“As people continue to move away from traditional ideas of luxury, we have to adapt by being ever more mindful of our guests’ desire to share an experience, create a memory, connect with each other, unwind and enjoy themselves — in a much faster time frame.“

“Consistent standards must be upheld, but our hotels are all individual and have distinct personalities and this is what makes them so special. In planning the refurbishment, it has been very important that we retain Fowey Hall’s unique character, its fascinating history and unique location, and bring the aspects to life through stylish interior design.“

“This is a new era for Luxury Family Hotels and the investment we are making demonstrates our 100 per cent commitment to ensuring our guests – existing as well as new – have the most wonderful time when they stay with us.”

Rooms at Fowey Hall Hotel start from £139 B&B. For bookings, please telephone +44 (0) 208 0765555 or visit luxuryfamilyhotels.co.uk.
