Meriel’s Favourite AY Retreats:
Peak District – Meriel loves the vast expanse of rolling hills, valleys, and rivers that make it easy to slow down and reconnect in the Peak District.

Cornwall – having grown up in the South West, Meriel has a strong connection to the open moorland and beautiful coastlines that this part of the world has to offer.

Madeira – Meriel loves the beautiful, old mansion that the retreat is hosted in. Sitting on the plant adorned balcony with a book and one of the many utterly delicious, vegan treats that the chef provided – heaven!
