Young Families

Everybody can have a break at Eaton Manor, including Mums and Dads!

Relaxing Times for Everyone at Eaton Manor

Eaton Manor is an ideal location for young families for so many reasons…

We have plenty to do on our 500 acre countryside estate without the need to get in the car at all during your stay, if you don’t want to.

You can be sure that, at Eaton Manor, you will create some truly special memories.

Why does Eaton Manor work so well for young families?

We know only too well how going away with little ones can be quite tiring; they’re out of their routine and in an exciting new place with all sorts to explore! But we also know that Mums and Dads deserve a break too.

So, we have on-site facilities with young families in mind and, given the unpredictability of the British weather, we provide both indoor and outdoor activities so, come rain or shine, you can be sure there will be something to keep them entertained.

Pre-school term time breaks are ideal as they are cost effective and quieter.

Included within your booking, and ideal for little people, is access to the following:

• Small swimming pool (Open April to October)
  • perfect for a splash about
• Large games hall
  • keep them contained and entertained
  • with toddler toys, fancy dress box and comfy seating
  • lots of other games, such as snooker, table tennis and pool for the grown ups
• Playing field
  • let them run off some of that boundless energy
• Complimentary baby/toddler pack to book
  • so you don’t have to bring everything with you
• Large, private, enclosed garden or patio with all cottages (except Great Western)
  • keep tabs on them more easily
