“We run retreats all over the world and this is one of the most stunning places we’ve been to. We absolutely loved running our retreat there.

Alex and Emma have created a beautiful and well thought out retreat centre…. A truly magical location, with 5 star accommodation: beautifully designed cottages with all facilities done to a very high spec (the best showers we’ve come across)… amazing attention to detail and very well equipped.

As hosts, Alex and Emma are wonderfully obliging. Nothing was too much bother and they helped us create our dream retreat. Our clients are eager to return with us. What more could you ask for?”
