“A quick note to say how we enjoyed our visit. It was a real breathing space and we loved the personalisation and attention to detail.

We felt very much cared for and held.

I am doing my exercises!”

Helena, A Space to Be Retreat, February 2022

A wonderful find. I stayed here as part of a residential yoga retreat. Would highly recommend it. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Very friendly hosts. And the Yoga was wonderful. Lucy is clearly extremely experienced and knowledgeable and takes time to understand each individuals needs. I came away feeling relaxed and restored. Will definitely be back.
