Had an amazing stay at the retreat it was lead by Head up the miltary charity, paired together I got so much out of this stay, relaxing calming and great emotional connection with myself. Food was amazing and I'm not a vegetarian!! Staff friendly and caring to every need. Your missing out if you don't visit.

An absolute treat of a retreat. Self catered accommodation was high quality and spacious. Take your walking boots and explore the beautiful surroundings, look for the animals and listen to the birds. Take a boat out on the lake or just swim in it, then do the wood fired sauna.

I went for a slow sunday. There is access to the lake, a basic outdoor sauna and a simple vegetarian lunch. All fine but not great value for the money paid.

Had the best 5 days here on my yoga retreat! Rooms were beautiful and clean. Property was incredible and I felt like I could really disconnect. I cannot overstate how amazing the food was - I was truly blown away by every single meal prepared for us.

I visited here yesterday on a Garden Grazing experience. I can't explain enough how peaceful and beautiful this place is. It's not just the sleepy Somerset location, or the exquisitely crafted buildings. It's not slipping into an oasis of a lake for a swim, or even wandering through the wild, yet cleverly planted gardens. It is the people who work here - gentle, passionate, kind and with an overriding sense of doing the right thing for nature and for your wellbeing. And hey, the cake isn't bad too!

We have just spent a long weekend with the family and we had an amazing time. Everything was brilliant. It was clean, tastefully done, a well thought out retreat. Lovely walks and peaceful surroundings. All the staff were extremely helpful and gracious.

The location is very beautiful, including a lake to swim in and lovely historic houses which have been sensitively decorated. For retreats the food provided was really delicious and nutritious. There is no alcohol available/possible on site, you can bring your own but there was a £250 corkage fee for a 2 night stay which seemed unreasonable. What would the charge cover being as we poured our own drinks, served our own food and scraped our own plates? Some of the staff have very particular and unusual viewpoints that guests are confronted with. For example communicating that they are able to cure autism or cancer. People with autism may not want to be cured and if you have recently lost a close family or friend to cancer it is also the kind of unsolicited information that can be most unwelcome. Overall good but some things to consider.

Spent two nights in one of the wonderful bell tents. Absolutely idyllic weekend away from the world. Came with some very dear family friends and we all had a fantastic time. The children were living their best lives, playing in the tree house, exploring the woods and swimming and paddle boarding on the lake. The walled garden provided inspiration and wonder for children and grown ups alike. We enjoyed cooking outside and sharing family mealtimes in the sunshine (and in the tent when it rained!). Sitting around the campfire toasting marshmallows and chatting was the perfect end to the day's activities. While we didn't see beavers we did see hares, deer, frogs, barn owls and bats. Thank you 42 acres for another truly magnificent weekend. We will return!
