Hello 2025! We hope you enjoyed the festivities, but if you feel like you’ve overdone it and are looking ahead to a healthier version of you, our large holiday houses for wellness retreats are just the thing. We have luxury large group accommodation with all you need to relax, rejuvenate and embrace a more wholesome lifestyle with like-minded people; there are private spa halls, hot tubs, saunas and yoga studios. Altogether now, say “OM”….

Let’s be honest about it – Christmas, New Year, most of us tend to eat and drink a little more than we ought to; we shouldn’t beat ourselves up about it at all because that’s what it’s all about, and anyway, it’s easy to get back in step with a healthier lifestyle, or to embrace a new way of being if that’s what you want to do. Plan an escape with a group of friends, family or colleagues to one of our large holiday houses for wellness retreats or yoga days, unwind, restore and go home with more energy and a rosy glow.

You’ve got to love a ‘Me Day’, when it’s all about you, slowing down, being gentle with yourselves, finding where you want to be. Me Days with friends and family are even better – let’s call them Us Days – days of ultimate relaxation in a beautiful holiday house sleeping 8-34 people, and luxury facilities like swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, movie rooms and cosy Scandi style BBQ lodges. Location is important – think gorgeous countryside all around, views to die for, nothing but gentle breezes and birdsong. Think peace and tranquillity. Just what you need.

Most of our large group holiday homes in the UK have the flexibility for use as a wellness or yoga retreat. Games rooms and other spaces can easily be adapted on request, giving you room for yoga and Pilates workshops, meditation and pampering. If the sun is shining, salute it with an outdoor yoga class and fresh air contemplation.

The Old Rectory near the Somerset Coast has a private yoga studio and hot tub and is surrounded by the beautiful Quantock Hills National Landscape. It’s a beautiful space, with floor to ceiling windows on one side and underfloor heating. Likewise, Berry House near Bampton in Devon where a Victorian barn has been gorgeously converted for use as a yoga studio or cinema room, and a few steps away there’s an indoor saltwater pool. What’s great is that both of these luxury holiday houses have the versatility to be used as conferencing or meeting space for corporate groups. A morning meeting, afternoon pampering, evening yoga – what a wrap.

The thing is, those Us Days are so good for our mental and physical wellbeing, it’s nourishment for the body and spirit. A gentle swim, a soothing soak in the hot tub, the calm of a sauna session, the slow stretching and focused breathwork of a yoga class. Make your Us Days even more special by booking carefully selected professionals we work with, like yoga teachers, beauty therapists to come and pamper you in the comfort of your large group holiday house, and private caterers to serve you nutritious and healthy food.

So if you’re raring to go, to embrace the new you, get comfy with a superfood smoothie and take a look through our luxury group accommodation to find your perfect wellness retreat. Book today and look forward to a very serene break; find your inner calm, rebalance your chakras, perfect your tree pose, practice mindfulness. You are SO worth it 🩷
