Health and wellbeing holidays
Relax and let nature set the pace
Looking for a spa or wellbeing holiday where you can truly switch off?
Spend some time in the forest with all the benefits of outdoors – and the cosy comfort of your cabin indoors. Enjoy slow coffees while the wildlife wakes up. Mindful moments amongst the forest. Gazing out from your decking while the world goes by. A forest escape lets you press pause and leave everything behind for a few days; so you can focus on getting back to you.
Try Forest Bathing
...and breathe. Get a dose of nature with some Forest Bathing. It’s a simple form of mindfulness that lets the woodland work its magic – enhancing your mood and creativity, boosting your immune system and lowering your blood pressure. Sometimes all you need is to stop, look around, and listen.
