Wilderness retreats
Wake to the sound of birdsong over dew-soaked grass, the day already inviting adventure and exploration. Our wilderness retreats are a breath of fresh air.
It's easy to underestimate the power of nature, that green force behind real relaxation, but time in the great outdoors is time well spent. Taking a break from urban living sharpens the mind and soothes the soul, reawakening our natural, most wholesome selves. We've unearthed wilderness retreats on Welsh mountain ranges flanked by forestland, tiny boltholes overlooking the snowcapped peaks of Scotland and windswept hideaway on remote beaches up and down the coast.
Hike up high hills in the day then ease muscles into a hot bubble-filled tubs before supper, switching off the external chatter. Take the children blackberry picking down rural lanes or on adventures scooping fallen apples in the garden, then get them all mixing up a delicious crumbly autumnal topping for the family to dig into. Our luxury wilderness retreats house all adventurers, so you can return to normality with renewed purpose.
