Our Retreat Reviews 

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!

A-ma-zing! My husband and I went skiing with Our Retreat in March 2022. Food was delicious. The other 'clients' were so much fun and the organisation was brilliant. It was really a great week.

I would highly recommend Our Retreat.

Our retreat provides a safe, inviting and enjoyable space to reconnect with yourself and commune with likeminded individuals who prioritise their health and well being. Lisa works very hard to create a special space and invites teachers who provide something a little different yet all believe in the same values in terms of being kind to yourself. It’s a special, restful and restorative experience. And the food is always nourishing and delicious!

Having been on 2 trips with Our Retreat, I can safely say how enjoyable, memorable & fantastic these retreats are. I can thoroughly recommend the UK weekend trip as an opportunity to completely switch off, be surrounded by lovely like minded people & nature. I first went on a trip with Our Retreat to Chamonix in France. The first solo trip I had ever taken. I was welcomed by Lisa & met 1 of my closest friends. Don't hesitate in clicking that book now button, go ahead, let go & take it all in!

I went to Our Retreat a couple of years ago at a very difficult time in my life I was worried about going alone. But the minute I turned up Lisa was there with Richie and instantly made me feel welcome. The whole atmosphere was amazing and immediately I felt better. The food, accommodation was 100% and I'm not vegetarian but it was so good. One day I wasn't great mentally but Lisa took the time to talk to me and shared something personal about her life really helped me alot. Richie was a star loved his classes and he was super fun. The whole experience was amazing I had planned to return but covid and I'll health was a barrier hopefully I'll return soon. I give it 5 stars all day long 💜

A perfect way to reconnect with yourself.
Beautiful accommodation. Absolutely scrumptious food. Amazing yoga and Pilates classes. I felt 10 years younger after a weekend with Our Retreat.
I can thoroughly recommend this treat to everyone.

I had the absolute best experience with our retreat. I attended an Italian yoga & pilates retreat pre covid and couldn’t fault any of it. Lisa was such a fantastic and welcoming host, really taking the time to get to know everyone and really made me feel at home. The teachers were fantastic, along with the incredible accommodation and delicious food. I tell everyone about it because it was truly such a beautiful week that had a real impact on some life challenges I was experiencing at the time. I can’t say thank you enough & hope to join a retreat again!

I joined Lisa, Lottie and Emily on the fabulous Yoga and Pilates retreat in Le Marche, Italy. It was my first retreat so although I was mainly excited, I was also apprehensive. As soon as I met everyone on the first day, I felt totally at ease. Lisa, Lottie and Emily were all so welcoming. It was lovely to be on an intimate retreat with such inspiring teachers and retreaters. The villa was absolutely stunning and super luxurious with a spa, pool and tennis court, not to mention the delicious food. Lottie and Emily are both extremely good at what they do and great fun; couldn’t have asked for a better duo. A particular highlight was the cycling trip through the gorgeous hills of the region. I would not hesitate to join another retreat with Our Retreat and would highly recommend to others

I attended a yoga weekend with a friend. It was like a total escape. From start to finish we were looked after. The accommodation superb and the food exceptional. There’s something so wholesome about taking time out for yourself. It might seem expensive but both my friend I agreed that actually, we felt it was very good value for money given the classes and the luxurious feel to the weekend. You also don’t need to be experienced at yoga- I was a relative newbie and was made to feel very welcome with classes tailored appropriately. It was best yoga classes I had ever been too. I will definitely be back. And indulgent but good for your weekend, good for the body, mind and soul. Thank you Lisa, Chloe and al the team.

what can i say other than it was absolute heaven to be on the retreat with Lisa and her team in Ibiza just before Covid. Lisa is a class act and having done other retreats i can honestly say that the elegant touches with Lisa take her retreat to a higher level. Every detail was considered, it was fun and active but also extremely relaxing and tranquil. Lisa is very generous with her time and the extras that other spas and retreats just don't add. Every day was magical and it really was a week in paradise. Excellent value for money.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending Our Retreat’s Pilates & Yoga Retreat in Somerset in March 2022. I had never been on a retreat before so I was a little apprehensive; however, from the minute I arrived at 42 Acres and stepped through the door of the stunning farmhouse I felt at ease, relaxed and part of a lovely new little family. The group was very mixed but everyone got on so well - it was lovely to be surrounded by and get to know such a great group of people.

The weekend was very well organised and Lisa was simply amazing. It was so lovely that as the organiser, Lisa took part in all activities (including the lake swim!) and meal times with us. And the guided meditation sessions that Lisa lead were just incredible and powerful - a number of the visualisations have really stuck with me!

For me, a huge highlight was meeting and attending classes with Lottie & Emily - both of whom are the loveliest ladies you could hope to meet. Their classes were so brilliant and a dream come true to attend. Their knowledge and teaching styles are so inspiring - I can’t praise them enough! And the setting of the yurt made the classes even more spectacular.

The food throughout the weekend was delicious. I loved learning about the Soil to Gut philosophy of 42 Acres and sampling their unique dishes. I’ve even brought some of the recipes home with me- the Ginger & Buckwheat Biscuits are a particular fav!

The activities were all totally fab - the lake swim in particular was awesome! I’d never done any wild swimming before so I almost chickened out…but I’m so glad I did it. I felt so amazing and energised afterwards. I’ve since invested in a DryRobe for more wild swims!

The house and accommodation were lovely and comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The goodies on arrival were a nice touch too.

Whilst on the retreat I made an incredible friendship with one of the other guests. I have never bonded with anyone so quickly and I know we’ll be friends for life!

I genuinely felt so sad to say our goodbyes on the Sunday. The retreat was so well organised and 42 Acres is an incredibly special place. I can honestly say I enjoyed every second of the experience and cannot wait to attend another Our Retreat again soon!

We had an amazing time on the UK retreat. My wife was about 6 months pregnant and Lisa and Jade were so helpful and made her feel so welcome. The food was amazing, and having our phones off for two days was so nice! If you are on the fence, just do it you won’t regret it!

I love Our Retreat. It's my happy place and restores and energises me. I've been back to the UK one three times now and each has been wonderful. Different teachers, same beautiful location, delicious food and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. I've even been wild swimming twice (my family are still stunned!). Would highly recommend.

I have visited our retreat twice, the first time I was absolutely blown away by the venue and the grounds. It is magical, the yurt that the yoga is practiced is the most special place. The rooms are gorgeous, comfortable and the perfect fit for a weekend retreat. The food is another level, I have a food allergy and am always looked after and catered for. The food is all fresh and homemade and mostly grown at 42 acres… wow!
There are beautiful walks, down time to read or nap or chat, and plenty of gorgeous yoga and other activities :)

The two times I have visited I have had different yoga teachers, jade and Chloe, I have continued my yoga practice with jade from my first retreat and she has taught me everything I know. She has changed me and I can’t thank her enough.

Going on these retreats are the best gift I have ever given myself…. If you are wondering whether to go, or wondering if it is worth the money…. IT IS! Do it, you won’t regret a single moment. Only that you didn’t do this sooner!

Thank you Lisa and the team xx

I booked this retreat at the last minute and Lisa handled everything with such ease. For a first timer, I was pretty nervous about what the whole experience would be like and worried whether I would enjoy it or not! I could not recommend the Somerset retreat highly enough and still wish I could go on one every month! The cottage was superb, beautiful interior and a perfect setting. For someone who hasn’t tried many vegan dishes, I came away from the retreat really wanting to add more vegan dishes to my life, they were full of flavour and a truly rewarding meal after the workouts. The trainers were lovely and welcoming, they put your body to work and really did unlock and reset my body. I’ve recommended Our Retreat to so many friends and hope to go on one again very soon! If you’re in doubt about booking, don’t be, it’ll be the best decision you’ll ever make!

Our Retreat was my first yoga retreat and it did not disappoint! Every detail of the weekend was sowell thought out, from the accommodation to the delicious healthy food to the mix of yoga and breathwork. Incredible teachers and a warm and friendly environment. I had the best time and can't wait to go on another Our Retreat, definitely will become a yearly treat to myself.
