Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, gathering family and friends for a special occasion, hosting a wellness retreat or planning a creative countryside escape, Shillingridge offers a peaceful and memorable setting for exclusive group stays in the Chiltern Hills.
Set within 30 acres of private Buckinghamshire countryside, just outside Marlow and only around an hour from London, Shillingridge combines the feeling of a secluded rural retreat with easy access from the city. Surrounded by woodland, open fields and wildlife, it’s a place to slow down, reconnect and spend meaningful time together in nature, without compromising on comfort.
Exclusive Use of the Entire Site
Group bookings include exclusive use of both of our luxury safari lodges and the surrounding grounds, creating your own private glamping retreat for up to 12 guests.
The lodges are thoughtfully positioned to create a relaxed “village” feel, close enough for shared meals, fireside evenings and group activities, while still offering space for privacy and quiet moments overlooking the countryside.
Each lodge has been carefully designed with comfort and luxury in mind, featuring stylish interiors, fully equipped kitchens, wood-burning stoves, comfortable beds and spacious open-plan living areas. Large private decks provide the perfect setting for long outdoor lunches, morning coffee or evenings gathered around the fire bowl beneath the stars.
Guests can also enjoy luxurious private bathrooms with roll-top slipper baths and beautiful woodland views, bringing a boutique hotel feel to the experience while remaining deeply connected to nature.
Perfect for Group Gatherings
Shillingridge is ideal for a wide range of group stays, including:
- Milestone birthdays and special celebrations
- Family reunions and multi-generational gatherings
- Wellness and yoga retreats
- Creative workshops and writing retreats
- Friends’ weekends and countryside escapes
- Small corporate retreats and team off-sites
Whether your stay is centred around celebration, wellbeing, creativity or simple relaxation, we can help tailor the experience to suit your group.
Experiences & Activities
The best memories are often made through shared experiences, and we can help create a stay that feels personal, relaxed and memorable.
Spend your days exploring the surrounding countryside, playing lawn games in the meadow, enjoying woodland walks or simply unwinding on the deck with good food and conversation. In the evenings, gather around the communal fire bowl to watch the sunset and enjoy the peace and stillness of the landscape.
For groups looking for something more curated, we can also arrange bespoke experiences during your stay.
Wild Ivy Foraging Walks
We’re delighted to work with Rosie Hill of Wild Ivy Retreats, who offers guided foraging experiences through the surrounding hedgerows and woodland. These gentle, immersive walks introduce guests to seasonal plants, herbs and flowers while encouraging a deeper connection with the natural world.
Wellness & Creative Experiences
We can also help arrange yoga sessions, meditation, spa treatments, creative workshops, nature journaling and other tailored wellbeing experiences designed around your group’s interests.
Private dining, local wine tastings and bespoke catering can also be arranged to make your stay even more special.
Close to Marlow, Yet a World Away
Although wonderfully secluded, Shillingridge is located just moments from Marlow, one of the UK’s best-loved riverside towns and a renowned destination for food lovers.
From cosy country pubs to award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping and walks along the Thames, there is plenty to explore nearby. Its excellent road and rail connections also make Shillingridge an ideal countryside escape for groups travelling from London and the surrounding areas.
