Sessions & Courses
Holycombe Holistic Retreat - Whichford
The setting is magical. Close to Stratford-upon-Avon, near to the Cotswolds. Set in a verdant wooded valley on the edge of the Cotswold village of Whichford. A natural stream rises from a holy well in the nearby wood, passes though the grounds and down a waterfall. The sound of running water adds to the sense of peace and tranquility.
The Serenity Barn - Bascote
The Serenity Barn has been beautifully transformed into an intimate, tranquil haven with rustic charm – making it the perfect place to energise and de-stress. With stunning exposed oak beams, underfloor heating for those winter months and patio doors that welcome the light on those summer days, you’ll feel totally relaxed and content throughout your time with us, whatever the weather.
