Idyllic locations don’t come much better than this. Set in a stunning location just outside the village of Rosedale Abbey, you can feel the relaxation vibes even before you’ve entered this laid-back retreat. With accommodation for up to 36 people within both The Guesthouse and The Old Chapel (groups can also hire sole use of either), spa facilities and classes to join, The Tree is an ideal place to re-boot life.
Owner and yoga and meditation guru Edward Harpin has created a range of classes, from mindfulness days and relaxation weekends through to five-day silent retreats.
Staithes Retreats
Head to the coast and combine walks along the cliff tops and beaches with a couple of relaxing treatments for the body. Caroline Beevers is trained in reflexology, acupuncture and Indian Head Massage. She runs Staithes Retreats, a beautiful Georgian guesthouse in the heart of the fishing village where two people can stay and enjoy the nurturing environment. Book a two-night retreat break and Caroline will provide all meals and one different treatment each day.
High Dalby House
The owners of High Dalby welcome guests who want a retreat and will tailor a programme to suit their individual requirements. For some this could be silent meditation; for others it could simply be letting the tranquil beauty of the surroundings work their magic to re-charge their physical and spiritual batteries.
High Dalby offers accommodation both in the guesthouse and surrounding cottages for up to 14 guests. With Dalby Forest on the doorstep there are also plans to offer Forest Bathing sessions alongside other classes such as yoga, music and art.
Raithwaite
Set back in woods just a few miles out of Whitby, the hotel and self-catering cottages on the Raithwaite Estate offer guests peaceful landscaped grounds as well as the chance for one of those uplifting walks along the lovely swathe of beach at Sandsend.
The on-site spa facilities are extensive with four treatment rooms, relaxation room, heated pool, Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and gym as well as a range of treatments that can be booked by guests.
