When you get here
A Warm Welcome to Your First Moments Here
From the moment you arrive, you will be warmly welcomed and guided through a gentle check-in, followed by a short walk around the villa to help you settle in and get familiar with the space. You will be introduced to the daily rhythm of the retreat, and may even be greeted by Mr Percy, our friendly farm cat.
Once you’ve settled into your room, you can take a moment to unwind with a cup of herbal tea, either in the gardens or indoors. At check-in, you will also have the opportunity to speak openly with one of our practitioners about your reasons for coming — whether you are seeking rest, personal space, or a deeper lifestyle change. If you are on an Ayurvedic package, your consultation with our doctor will then help shape a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Your Space to Relax and Move at Your Own Pace
During the orientation, we’ll guide you through the different spaces around the retreat, including the yoga hall, treatment rooms, dining room and gardens.
Outside of scheduled sessions, guests are welcome to spend time in these areas at their own pace. Many people enjoy quiet walks around the farm and nearby countryside. In the warmer months, we’re also happy to recommend lovely spots along the River Wye for those who enjoy a refreshing swim in nature.
Enhancing Your Experience with Treatments and Personal Sessions
If you feel drawn to deepen your experience during your stay, you are always welcome to add additional treatments or one-to-one sessions. Our team is here to guide you, helping you choose what feels right for you, whether that’s a soothing Ayurvedic treatment or something more focused and personal. You may also choose to arrange these in advance, giving you something to look forward to from the moment you arrive.
You can explore one-to-one sessions such as yoga therapy, life coaching, or a consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor, each offering space for more personalised support. There may also be the opportunity to spend quiet time with our resident monk, offering gentle guidance, conversation, or simply a moment of reflection — adding a deeper and more meaningful layer to your retreat experience.
Here for You, Every Step of the Way
Our team is always nearby if you need assistance. During the day, around ten staff members are present across the retreat, supporting guests with treatments, meals and daily activities. Several team members also live on site, so help is never far away. If you need anything during your stay, simply speak with any member of staff and we will be happy to help.
