With a range of seven beautiful family-friendly properties around the country, Luxury Family Hotels (www.luxuryfamilyhotels.co.uk, 0844 482 2152) offer the perfect break for anyone feeling inspired by Wimbledon.
Free Coaching at Moonfleet Manor Hotel, Dorset
Budding tennis players can enjoy free tennis coaching this summer at Moonfleet Manor. This handsome Georgian Manor House, overlooking Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon provides a superb backdrop for a game. Courts can be booked at any time and for those wanting to take advantage of the free coaching, there will be sessions run by coaches form the Weymouth Tennis Club every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am-1pm throughout the school holidays.
House Party Tennis at The Ickworth Hotel, Suffolk
For those who fancy a more leisurely approach to the game, The Ickworth Hotel in Suffolk – on a magnificent 18th century estate owned by the National Trust – is the perfect location for a spot of tennis. Surrounded by 1800 acres of parkland, this grand country house was once the family seat of the Earls of Bristol, who were rather partial, themselves to the odd tennis party.
Visit at any time and relax in this superb setting, with tennis court and racquets available for use at any time by hotel guests (court can be pre-booked).
Tennis with A View at Polurrian Bay Hotel, Cornwall
It may be a few hours' drive from Centre Court, but the setting for a match at The Polurrian Bay Hotel on the Lizard is rather special. Perched up on the cliffs, with a backdrop of Mounts Bay and the Atlantic beyond, the Polurrian is considered to be the ultimate family seaside hotel. Match distractions here range from passing pods of dolphins to basking sharks and sailing yachts - and when the match is over, just step up to the Vista Terrace and indulge in a Cornish Cream Tea or a chilled Pimms.
