Beautiful yoga retreat in an Ideal location
Lovely yoga retreat in a beautiful place. Spacious house and comfortable bedrooms. The yoga teaching was excellent as well as the meditation and pranayama. The vegetarian/vegan food was absolutely amazing and delicious too. It is a very well run retreat by Emily and Lydia as well as her fantastic team to look after us all. I enjoyed the singing and the cacao ceremony too run by Lydia. The bonuses were a sauna, steam room and ice baths! You can also have a massage with the lovely Renata too. I will certainly be back for another retreat and spend some special time with like minded people!

fabulous easter retreat
I had a brilliant Easter retreat with Emily, we had very inspiring talks, the yoga classes were for every level suitable, the vegan food was very tasty and the accommodation was outstanding. I had a fabulous time and recommend Emily's retreat for everybody who wants to step away from a busy life to reset their body and mind. I hope to book again soon.

Excellent long weekend!
Emily an amazing teacher who led an unforgettable and inspiring weekend. Her knowledge and passion shine through and she made us feel welcome in the large house from the moment we arrived.
The location was outstanding (helped by the lovely weather!) and the food was delicious. I think we all went back for second helpings on every meal.
I had not practised yoga for some time before the retreat but Emily provided modifications throughout the sessions so I could take part in everything.
It really was an amazing weekend! Thank you Emily and Ben!

Highly recommended
I just came back from her yoga retreat in the Cotswolds and it was an amazing experience
I didn’t know anyone there, not even Emily, but I am so happy that I decided to do it
Emily is extremely charismatic, she has this special aura that draws people to her. She is so inspiring but at the same time pure goodness and humbleness, so gentle and likeable
I highly recommend her classes, talks, retreats and other events that she offers as she puts all her heart into it and success and joy are guaranteed

The greatest escape!
Thank you so much Emily for such a lovely weekend. From the moment I arrived I felt welcome and at home. The teachings were inspiring and the food delicious and plenty, did not realise I was on a detox at all. I want to thank you for all the love and consideration that you put in in preparing for the weekend and throughout. It really does show and your passion for it is inspiring. To anyone reading this review, it would be a shame not experiencing a weekend with this lovely person. I came back refreshed with a new perspective on life. Emily, hope to see you again soon!

Life changing and affirming
This was the best weekend of my life so far; I didn't want it to end! Emily couldn't have done more to make sure this was a safe, comfortable and relaxed environment for all of us, with lots of laughter and warmth. The weekend gave me the right space to regain a sense of hope and clarity so I could finally make some major life decisions. Emily set the tone for us to really gel and bond as a group with a supportive, non-judgemental, truthful and loving dynamic. We were able to connect with great emotional depth, within just 48 hours of knowing each other.
In terms of yoga, Emily is an expert in not just the practise of it, but also in teaching it (and I've been a teacher for ten years!). She absolutely excelled in enabling us to work to a level beyond what we thought possible. Most of us were achieving things that we'd never even attempted before. It was fantastic to receive that amount of attention and support from a teacher; a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I will definitely not forget this weekend or this beautiful, inspiring and talented lady.

The perfect way to see in the new year
I couldn't have asked for a better way to see in 2018. Emily and Angela were great instructors and really enjoyed the variety of yoga they provided. The food was incredibly delicious and nourishing. I felt very focused and energised at the end of my stay, ready to take on the new year! I highly reccomend to anyone interested.

Inspiring, amazing, unpretentious yoga /creativity retreat
Emily and Angela were both brilliant yoga teachers - their energy and spirit was amazing. I felt pushed to achieve things I never would have alone. I also loved the opportunity to make collage art with others.

Wonderful way to start the new year
Had a lovely time. Emily and Angela are amazing teachers and work together really well. The classes had the right balance between challenging and relaxing. The lodge was amazing and really homey and you could see how much work and love Mark and Til put into it.
