Location

Scotland, United Kingdom

Located in the quiet coastal hamlet of Muchalls, just south of Aberdeen and a short drive from the historic town of Stonehaven, Toadhall is a boutique bed and breakfast that offers a serene escape on the rugged Aberdeenshire coast. This charming retreat, known for its individualistic decor and warm hospitality, is set within a secluded garden populated by resident peacocks, geese, and free-range hens. The property provides a gateway to the dramatic cliffs of the North Sea, where a five-minute stroll leads to a shingle beach and spectacular views of rock arches and geological formations. While it offers the peace of a rural sanctuary—complete with mindfulness retreats and a "secret garden" feel—Toadhall remains conveniently close to city amenities and iconic landmarks like Dunnottar Castle, making it a unique blend of coastal wilderness and high-end comfort.

Testimonials

info

A transformative and peaceful retreat I was feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, anxious and unsure and was looking to get some clarity, perspective and rest. The location and the mindfulness practice drew me there, but the wonderful, compassionate and understanding host (and her amazing cooking and coffee) elevated the experience beyond all I had hoped for. It was a transformational experience, and lots of realisations and practices I discovered here I have carried forward into my everyday life, which is much improved as a consequence. I feel put back together and restored! If you are feeling rundown or overwhelmed by life events, I fully recommend this retreat to you. The secluded outdoors, scenic views, relaxed pace, warm fire, delicious food, kindness of the host and the grounded mindful practices and conversations are all extraordinary and life-affirming.

Outstanding Host and Retreat I was looking for a retreat in Scotland and in August and this one was just what I was looking for. This retreat delivered what it said and more. I felt the weight of my shoulders was lifted and the reset button reset. Angela was the perfect host and teacher. She nourished our mind, soul and body. The food was so good, we were surprised at every meal with more delicious treats. The place is magical, the wild swimming was just the ticket. I don’t have enough words to praise her. In fact, I will be looking forward to going back again next year and will recommend her to friends.

Wonderful Experience! I came on the retreat to add to my trip from Australia. I thought it would be a good chance to re-charge whilst away. I was also wanting to make changes in my life and was ready for a fresh start . I liked the sound of the retreat when I saw it. The timing and location were also perfect. I saw people in the advertisement Meditating on the beach and I was sold. On the retreat, I learned some mindfulness techniques that I will use for the rest of my life. It has given me the tools to move through my life more positively. This retreat was so beneficial to me. It has helped change my perspective and taught me ways to live a better life. The setting was amazing, just wow. The beach is private and very beautiful. A seal watched us from the sea each day whist we did ceremonies, workshops, and meditation. The food was 5-star quality and Angela catered to my gluten-free diet with no issues. Comfy bed and clean. I cannot fault Angela. She created a non-judgemental space for us to learn and heal. I highly recommend Angela’s retreats to everyone. Angela delivers wonderful teachings with care.
