Amazing special place. My first retreat and I would highly recommend to anyone. Brilliantly organised by Lisa, amazing delicious food (mostly grown on site) prepared by Rhys and Jo. Inspiring yoga with Jade and relaxing meditation with Lisa. Lovely rooms and facilities. Enjoyed swimming in the lake and the beautiful country walks. Came away feeling truly restored. Thank you all x

A magical weekend created by Lisa & Jade, loved every practice with them. It is in a stunning setting, lush food with lessons from Jo (the chef) & the coziest accommodation. Would suggest this to any & everyone in a heartbeat!

This is such a well run and organized retreat. The attention to detail is just wonderful and the perfect blend of fun activities and relaxation. Roo and Emily are phenomenal teachers who are extremely knowlegable and have a wonderful energy. The uplifting morning meditations with Lisa were dreamy and she really runs a spectacular retreat with the best of everything. I miss the nourishing food, great teachers and amazing group of people I met on the retreat. I can not recomed Our Retreats enough.

Just spent the week with Lisa, Emily and Roo in Portugal. Lisa takes care of everything and really makes sure everyone's experience is the best it can be. Everyone she chose for her team was fantastic as well. The chefs were excellent and you really felt nourished while enjoying delicious food. Roo was so fun and energetic, making sure everyone got the most out of their stretching, their fitness and their down time. Having now done a second week with Our Retreat, I can say the quality is consistently top notch. The food is amazing, the trainers were inspiring and fun and the Portugal location was a dream. Can't recommend enough!!

I love Yoga (I would say I'm intermediate!) but I've never been to a retreat before so I was a bit nervous, but I shouldn't have been. The organiser Lisa was amazing - from organising transport to and from the station to the yoga itself was seamless. Lisa herself was super warm and inviting. The yoga teacher Jade was brilliant, she also shared her experience of Pilates with us on the retreat, which was very welcome. There were other optional activities too, cold water swimming in the lake and lovely walks in the idyllic countryside. Venue, food and the other guests were all just how a yoga retreat should be - luxuries, relaxing, and transported me to a place of calmness and wellbeing.

My first retreat with Our Retreat was in 2018 when I was going through a pretty tough period in my life and a weekend in Somerset was just what I needed. It was the perfect blend of yoga, pilates, walks and good food. I returned to my chaotic life a lot more zen! During COVID I decided to go again with Our Retreat, this time a little further and a little longer, to Ibiza for 5 days and although the trip was totally different, again it was pitched perfectly. Challenging HIIT sessions, hiking and amazing food complemented by yoga and relaxing time by the pool. Lisa is a kind and generous individual - her taste in locations and instructors is second to none. I plan to come back again soon, maybe Italy or Portugal, I know I will not be disappointed!

'The best retreat you will ever attend' I went on my first retreat ever with 'Our Retreat' to Sardinia and the experience was so amazing I booked again and went to the Ibiza retreat. Every aspect of the retreat is exceptionally organised by Lisa, from highly qualified yoga instructers/ trainers, delicious healthy food, activities and opportunities to explore the island. I would highly recommend 'our retreat'

A magical, profound, and beautiful weekend away in the Cotswolds! From the moment I arrived, Lisa and the team was on hand to look after our group and ensure we have a fulfilling and relaxing break. The venue was exceptional, food delicious, and a perfect balance of activities Vs downtime in nature. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend and can't wait to rebook!

I have always wanted to go on a Yoga Retreat and spent a lot of time researching choices and thank goodness I chose Our Retreat! It was truly a life changing weekend - everything from start to finish was incredible. Chloe was the most wonderful yoga teacher and Lisa hosted us for the weekend. The quality of everything from the teaching to accommodation was fantastic and the timetable was busy but the perfect balance of classes, hikes, free time and great food too! I cannot wait to book another as I wouldn't consider booking with any other Retreat provider now! I couldn't recommend enough.

I have been on two Our Retreat trips, one at 42 Acres for a yoga weekend with Louise Cameron which I went with a friend and a second trip for a week in Ibiza with a Richie Norton where I went solo. Both trips were excellent and the combination of meeting great like minded people, brilliant sessions and fantastic locations made for a fabulous time out. Whether you go alone or with a friend, the group dynamics are great and Lisa the host was attentive, helpful and really fun to spend time with. I just need the dates to line up so I can get out on a ski trip :)

I’ve been on Our Retreat twice, I loved it so much. My first retreat to 42 Acres was during a very challenging time in my life and the experience was so caring and wonderful. Everyone so supportive, friendly and encouraging regardless of your level of confidence, yoga/Pilates experience…it’s all about celebrating yourself, your movement and being in nature. The food is out of this world creative vegan yumminess and another highlight. Returning on my second retreat it felt fabulous to shine brightly and once again feel the incredible positive vibe of a community for the weekend. The 42 acres venue in Somerset it so beautiful, calming and lots of walks to join with the group or on your own. You can make the retreat your own and dip in and out of the programme in whatever way fuels your selfcare the best. Such a supportive team and I can’t wait to return. Maybe they’ll even get me into the lake for the wonderful wild swim next time.

I loved my time with the team in the UK retreat. The venue was beautiful, as was the outside tent where we did out exercise. The food was beautiful and it was the perfect combination of exercise and activities and free time. Can't wait to go again!

I attended the Chamonix ski and yoga retreat and would highly recommend! So much so that I’ve already booked the next Portugal retreat as soon as I returned to the uk. Lisa was absolutely fantastic and went out of her way at every opportunity to ensure every single guest had an amazing and fulfilled experience, absolutely nothing was too much and all details and stress of a holiday had already been taken care off. Her communication, professionalism & effort cannot be faulted. Roo and Emily were phenomenal instructors, so approachable and so attentive! They really encourage and pushed us all despite us all being at different levels, every single person made personal progression. They even had me doing headstands/handstands by the end of the week! The food was yummy. Accommodation was clean and perfectly located! The views were breathtaking from the balcony. … If your still contemplating, stop wasting you time and book it! xXx

I went solo to Our Retreat at the beautiful 42 Acres location in Dorset last summer. I've been on a few retreats before and can easily say this is the best one! The team are so welcoming and I loved the little touches that made the weekend that extra bit special. It was a chilled weekend of both fun and relaxing yoga sessions as well as daily walks in the countryside, a swim in the lake and the most delicious and healthy food. I would 100% recommend going on a Our Retreat and also going on it solo! Everyone was so nice and friendly and it is great being surrounded by like minded people.

The Our Retreat location in Somerset sets the scene perfectly for exercise, rejuvenation and relaxation through yoga, pilates, barre and meditation. Such a wonderful mix of activities provided by the carefully selected Lottie and Emily; fun, professional and knowledgeable teachers. Lisa both coordinates and contributes; her guided meditation was the first I'd tried and it inspired a new practice that has since served me well. The food is ridiculously good and the opportunity for wild swimming was an absolute bonus! Guided walks and friendly chatter with a wonderful group of women made complete this amazing retreat which I went to as a special birthday gift with my sister. I really can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you Lisa.

This was my first ever yoga retreat which I decided to go on alone, and I’m so glad I did! I could not have been made to feel more welcome by the staff and the others taking part in the retreat. The attention to detail was amazing from start to finish, from the warm welcome with cookies and hot chocolate to the guided walk of the grounds, I really could not fault it! The yoga was designed to suit all levels and although I’ve practiced for a while, I came away feeling that my practice had improved. It was so lovely having the time with Jade to be guided and help to understand where I could enhance my movements. I also had never attended a sound bath before which since, I’ve gone to a couple near me as I loved it. If you’re considering whether to go on this retreat, I would 110% recommend!
