All your delicious meals, drinks, and snacks will be provided. We're proud foodie,s and serious nourishment is a high priority. Our food is filled with wholesome and natural ingredients, but most importantly, plentiful and delicious. Where possible, we buy local, and the menu varies according to the seasons and our guests - we appreciate that many children do not relish a pile of spinach! Breakfasts feature such delights as smoothie bowls, baked oats, local breads, fruit platters, or shakshuka. Grazing lunches are available for guests to enjoy at their leisure and include cheese boards, soups, or wraps. All our afternoon cakes are homemade and might include a tahini chocolate blondie, orange, cardamom polenta cake, or banana bread. The evening meals are a real feast, from an Italian spread to curries. There is always plenty of variety, and dietary requirements can be accommodated. We get excited about food, and we aim to excite our guests too!

Schedule

Celebrate the end of the school year with a unique wellness retreat designed to focus on the bond with your tweens and teens. Expect luxury West Berkshire accommodation and activities such as pottery, yoga, bushcraft, treatments, and boxing – all focused around self-care, creativity, and movement. Many of our retreats include mindfulness and sound healing with Andy Hobson – a world-renowned meditation teacher and musician (and InsightTimer favourite!) We offer a series of workshops and activities designed to help you unwind and build your connection - from creative workshops to active sessions, and from a gentle introduction to mindfulness to games and pamper nights. All your delicious meals, drinks, and snacks will be provided. Over the course of the weekend, a sense of community will build amongst guests as you share meals, activities, and a lot of fun!

Testimonials

We really enjoyed it on a number of levels. Overall it surpassed any expectations we had and a lovely group of people. The house is amazing and perfect place away from everything. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Georgina, United Kingdom

We had a wonderful two night stay at the mother and daughter retreat. It was a lovely opportunity to connect and spend some quality time together. Every little detail was thought of - from the activities to the setting and decoration. All of the food was delicious - we definitely did not go hungry. We really enjoyed the nutrition workshop and learnt loads. The mala bracelet workshop was also a real highlight as well as the workout session. Thank you to Rachel and her team - We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Sarah, United Kingdom

A brilliant two-night stay that was jam packed with activities. It felt like a real break even though it was just one day. Wonderful food throughout with a great choice. Great workouts and stretch with a good pace to keep younger people interested, I particularly enjoyed the Mala making; the simple art of creating jewellery transformed into a spiritual and bonding experience! All of the team were relentlessly positive which is such an antidote to the negativity of modern life.

Nia, United Kingdom

I booked to spend some quality time with my daughter, away from our usual day-to-day hustle. But we got so much more than signed up for. Rachel did an incredible job. Every detail was thought through. We got our hands dirty with pottery, tried out archery, and loved the experiences. Honestly, this retreat was the best money I’ve spent in a long time. The memories we’ve made, the friendships we’ve formed, and the lessons we’ve learned have been worth every penny.
