” What a magical weekend. The hill walking was challenging but the rewards at the top make it worth it. The yoga sessions are taught so clearly and well by Sarah from the Yoga Space, and they fit in perfectly either side of the walks. the food was gorgeous and set you up for the day. The glorious dinners brought us all together to share stories. The accommodation is clean, comfy and spacious with breath-taking views of the peaks. I went on my own but came away with wonderful new friendships. I highly recommend this retreat. It was brilliantly organised by Sarah and Sarah.” Victoria, May 2019
