Kind words from The Hideaway.
Reflections on slowing down, settling in and finding space to breathe.
In their own words.
Every visit is different. Here are a few reflections from people who have spent time here.
A place for finding yourself... This unique hideaway is filled with love and comfort from the custodians. From waking up with beautiful kestrels and the baying of lambs to the gentle unwind as the day closes to the night, this was a wonderful experience, my coffers are filled again after our stay. Thank you Walton family x
A truly special place. If you are looking for somewhere to step away from everyday life, reconnect with nature and have quiet space for reflection I couldn't recommend it more. The bell tent is surrounded by peaceful farmland and the whole atmosphere is incredibly serene and grounding. Waking up to the sounds of birds and animals around me was absolutely beautiful – you feel immersed in nature and far away from the rush and noise of ordinary life.
I recently visited the Hideaway and it was a magical weekend – a perfect chance to unplug from daily demands, breathe fresh air and wake to the gentle sounds of the wild birds and the sheep. I felt my circadian rhythm align with the surroundings and enjoyed the delightful company of those on the retreat. I left feeling completely energised and recharged – an experience I would love to repeat.
The Hideaway is simply a magical space created with so much care and love which is very obvious from the warmth of Izzy and her family to all the little touches dotted around, from the optional mineral drops in your drinking water after the sauna to the little jars of cotton buds and hairbands in the changing area. Even though it is very earthy and simple, it feels like complete luxury being here.
Everything at The Hideaway is created for supporting wellness for both us humans and for the land the retreat sits upon. There is the chemical-free wood-fired sauna, filtered water running through copper pipes for the shower and in the cold plunge, plus being guided through a safe sauna / plunge protocol by Izzy who is a highly trained clinical naturopath and women’s health expert feels unbelievably nourishing as well.
What a wonderful glamping experience, perfectly combining rustic charm and modern comfort. A very spacious bell tent, cosy and lovingly decorated. The bed is extremely comfortable making it easy to settle and relax. Every little need anticipated before you even realise you need it – from herbal teas and books, to the wood-burning stove which quickly warms the tent and makes it cosy. Everything is very well organised and easy to use. A peaceful comfortable place where you can truly switch off and enjoy the surroundings.
What a beautiful hideaway! The venue was stunning, but the real magic came from our wonderful hosts, Izzy and Gemma. We learned about herbs, foraged, made our own oxymel, shared herbal teas and food, and enjoyed a sauna and cold plunge in a breathtaking setting. Feeling truly blessed, grateful, and inspired. Thank you! 🙏
Such a beautiful wellbeing reset at The Hideaway, reuniting with fellow herbalists.
Roaring fires under the stars, al fresco food with foraged and organic produce, fresh eggs, Luca’s sourdough and home-grown herbal teas. Plenty of naturopathic touches to satisfy even the crunchiest of people like me.
Cosy teepee, comfy bed, yoga and acupuncture, I genuinely didn’t want to leave.
Highly recommend. I’ll be back for a family getaway and I’m looking forward to it already.
