03rd May 2024 
We are also running an early may bank holiday retreat in Lake District.
Early May is the perfect time to enjoy our wellness yoga retreat in Norfolk. The sun and warmth of spring have arrived and have given the grounds of this stunning venue time to flourish so that it radiates colours of lush green, sparkling blue from the lake, and reds, oranges and purples of the wildflowers throughout.
We love it here and have been running our yoga retreats here for 15 years! As an eco-retreat centre, everything has been built with sustainability at the heart of everything they do. There is a swimming lake where you can row boats, a newly developed meandering garden with paths, a Japanese garden and fire pits to stargaze in the evenings. There is also a heated outdoor pool. Find a connection to nature in the expansive grounds and find a connection with new people, and reconnect to you.
It is a magical retreat centre that has grown over the years with the environment and human connection at the centre of what they do. It’s not just a retreat venue, it’s a whole well-being experience.
Enjoy a guided walk to Castle Acre and the next day take a day trip to Holkham beach if you came by car.

Each bedroom has original artworks by renowned artist Oliver Barnett, giving each room a unique interpretation of a natural scene creating a perfect harmonious colour balance with the handmade curtains and cushions. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms have their own underfloor heating. They also have super comfortable, extra thick sprung mattresses and high-quality cotton linen.
Twin or double rooms: The rooms are spacious enough for two people to share a room comfortably, with cosy single beds and crisp linen and beautiful en-suite bathrooms that have either a bath or a shower room.
