    Visited October 2022

    This was my first experience with Retreat Away and my first yoga retreat meeting a group of mainly new people. Despite my trepidation it was a fantastic experience with first class yoga tuition. The programme for the week was varied with opportunities to try new activities such as SUP and guided walks and time to chill if I chose to do so. I enjoyed the smaller hotel vibe and the responsive management team. Overall I would highly recommend.
