We are beyond excited to announce that New Park Manor has been named ‘Best Family-Friendly Hotel’ in The Times and Sunday Times 100 Best Places to Stay 2025! This is a huge honour and a testament to the hotel’s unwavering dedication to providing families with the perfect getaway.
Each year, The Times & Sunday Times unveil their carefully curated list of the ‘100 Best Places to Stay in the UK,’ and we’re thrilled that New Park Manor has earned a spot as the top family-friendly choice. This accolade is especially meaningful following the hotel’s refurbishment in Spring 2024, which has only enhanced the guest experience and further solidified its position as a family favourite.
The list is put together by a team of expert journalists who visit hundreds of properties across the UK, testing everything from the interiors and facilities to the quality of food and service. Each hotel on the list is trialled and reviewed thoroughly to ensure it meets the highest standards, offering character, luxury, and excellent value for money.
New Park Manor, a former hunting lodge once favoured by Charles II, has become a beloved destination for families seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure. The hotel excels in providing a truly parent-friendly environment, which was a key factor in earning this recognition. With two hours of free daily childcare, families can truly unwind while the kids enjoy everything from indoor and outdoor pools to a fantastic playground and even bedtime cookies.
The attentive staff, always ready to greet families with a smile and remember every little detail - from food preferences to special requests - ensures that New Park Manor feels like a home away from home. Parents can also take full advantage of the extensive spa to relax, recharge, and fully enjoy their stay.
This recognition follows in the footsteps of sister hotel Fowey Hall, which claimed the same title in 2024, and we couldn’t be prouder to continue the legacy. Whether you're looking for family fun or a peaceful retreat, New Park Manor has everything you need to make your spring getaway unforgettable.
