Last month we hosted our very first River Cottage Wellness Retreat.
Guests enjoyed a four-night restorative residential programme carefully designed to encourage a more holistic approach to life. If you want to reconnect with nature and discover what matters to you then join us for our next Retreat this September.
"The retreat was life-changing. The combination of healthy food, fresh air, wellbeing and beach time was amazing.' Retreat Guest
"Since the Retreat I'm eating more healthily and I've been inspired by the recipes from Naomi. I also made lots of great friends." Retreat Guest

FOOD
Food will play a central part of a River Cottage Retreat, whether learning to think differently about it and cooking it and of course eating it. You will spend two days in the cookery school with gut health expert and tutor Naomi Devlin. You'll learn about gut health, fermentation and mindful eating.
ACCOMMODATION
Stay in luxury and choose from one of three stylishly decorated bedrooms in the River Cottage Farmhouse. Or you get closer to nature and stay in a comfortably furnished bell tent at the heart of the farm.
