Corporate retreats provide a chance to escape the stresses of daily life and spend time outside of the typical working environment. Whichever type of retreat your business holds, you can gain numerous benefits. These retreats help teams to bond and create robust working relationships, encouraging collaboration across every team. They bring various perspectives together to create fresh ideas that can boost creativity and deepen problem-solving skills. Staff can get to know one another in a casual and relaxed setting. This boosts employee morale and engagement as it allows teams to have fun together.

Host ideal corporate retreats
Our Lodge provides a very unique experience for corporate retreats- no matter what kind they are. We are nestled in the heart of Windsor Great Park, which offers breathtakingly beautiful panoramic views of meadows, rolling lawns and ancient, magical woodland. The greenery not only gives you a stunning backdrop to improve concentration and spark creativity but also offers you unparalleled privacy. The historic country home has a deep past that began back in the 17th century as a royal residence. Our Lodge has been a place for students, scholars and creatives to come together and engage in deep discussions and exchange ideas for over 70 years.
Cumberland Lodge is one of the best corporate retreat venues because of our remoteness and tranquillity. The greenery that encloses our home creates a calming and engaging space for participants to immerse themselves in activities. This setting promotes creativity, individual reflection and face-to-face in-depth conversation. Even the quietest staff member can feel at ease to speak up and get their ideas across. The peacefulness of the green leaves rustling quietly around the Lodge, mixed with the vast array of wildlife that roams the acres of land in the Park, makes the best escape from stress and typical work life. Your employees can enjoy outdoor activities together to create strong relationships and even explore the wonders of the park in their free time.
