Lovely welcome, gentle yoga, silence in the morning, gorgeous food, excellent views and wonderful company.

I had arrived feeling depleted, weary in body and mind but in less than 24 hours I was leaving feeling my equilibrium had been restored – I felt nurtured, replenished and more energised than I had been in a long while and I know I shall continue to reap the rewards of my stay.

We booked as a group of 3 friends, celebrating a special birthday, and from the moment we arrived we had the most amazing weekend! Comfortable accommodation, delicious food, great yoga classes and fabulous massages. Lucy made us feel so welcome and had thought of extra little touches, like delicious home made bread and a huge range of herbal teas. There’s plenty to see and do round about too so it was an ideal place as a base to explore. We’ll be back long before the next big birthday falls!

Thank you for this Yoga, so much more than exercise. Yours is such a gentle compassionate practice and teaching. This combined with skill and the power of balance, movement and stillness, is very effective. I am benefiting greatly especially as movement is not usually a delight for me. I have found this term’s yoga to be settling, spacious and healing. I look forward to the next session.

“The restorative yoga, massage and just having time to ‘be’ have been nourishing and healing. I have appreciated the generosity and kindness you have shown me. The food has been delicious and just checking on my wellbeing has been helpful. I can see how much thought, heart and attention you put into your business in your beautiful home. The little touches which make the difference!”

“I was so comfortable in Lucy and Henry’s guest suite. It is an oasis of peace overlooking a wonderful view of fields sloping down towards the sea. Every little detail has been thoughtfully planned with the aim of creating a relaxing environment. I particularly appreciated the fresh bread and fruit provided for breakfast along with my favourite Dorset cereals and orange juice. I felt very safe as a single traveller. The bed and armchairs were very comfortable, the shower was terrific. Lucy welcomed me warmly even though I arrived quite late. I look forward to spending more weekends there in the future. Very convenient for Alnwick and Alnmouth, each only 10 mins away by car. Thank you so much!”

“Can’t think of a better retreat in which to indulge in some ‘me time’ for a precious weekend.

From the home comforts of my spacious ‘suite’ to Lucy’s relaxing yoga and massage, to beautiful local walks, I appreciated every last drop. 

This is a personal investment I need to arrange with A Space to Be annually!”

“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!”

Happy, relaxing, very supportive and personally I found this class a real mood booster.

A great way to have some quality time with your baby, to meet other Mums and to spend time in a supportive, understanding environment.

I really enjoyed the online sessions too and liked the fact we got to know each other and start making connections

Thank you for everything you’ve offered in this weird year – you saved my maternity leave!
