The whole experience was excellent from start to finish.
Well organised and all my needs were met. There was an abundance of delicious freshly made dishes throughout the day. I’ve joined many retreats in the UK and this trumps them all. Great value for money - plenty of activities and a well thought out schedule! I’ll definitely be indulging in another retreat with these guys again.
