Testimonial by Abbie Wooltorton

A truly wonderful retreat, for both body and mind! Forest Retreats manages to perfectly balance the professional expertise of yoga practice, whilst making you feel so relaxed and welcome, catering to all your needs. I will be booking their Spain retreat again next year!

Testimonial by Melaine

My visit to Hill Farm couldn’t have come at a better time. I arrived feeling slightly frazzled and very tired and left feeling calm and energised to continue doing my job and caring for my family AND myself. Highly recommended!

Testimonial by Jo

Hayley supported me wonderfully through my cancer treatment, always feeling like a safe pair of hands, and enabling me to relax, reconnect with my poorly body, and manage my aches and pains. Since stopping treatment seeing Hayley has become such a treat and a really important way for me to build my strength and confidence back. Plus it’s the most wonderfully relaxing experience – I love it!

Beautiful, nurturing and restorative. Hill Farm has a wonderful grounding energy and is a wonderful place to stay. I love staying here and have held two retreats here and always get fantastic reviews from my guests. Hayley and Tom are fantastic hosts and I’ll be back for many years to come

Had a fabulous day at Hill Farm. Felt relaxed and restored spending time forest bathing, reflecting and connecting. Beautiful surroundings and scrumptious food. Thank you Hayley and Tom for looking after us and giving us a day to remember. A wonderful experience that I would highly recommend.
