Our Retreat

This was my fourth visit to 42 acres for the 'Our Retreat' yoga weekend this December. Following a recent bereavement it was the perfect space to rest and reflect. Lisa is an ideal hostess. She is kind, inclusive and welcoming, with an incredible eye for detail which helps a wonderful well paced (each bit optional) timetable of yoga, meditation, pilates, lake swims and country walks run to plan. She also picks talented teachers to run the classes: Chloe created a beautiful atmosphere with carefully crafted classes and music with a clear and joyful delivery. 42 acres itself is a fabulous venue - comfortable, cosy and warm, with delicious locally produced vegetarian and vegan food. The whole weekend was designed to feel totally nourishing and it succeeded. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful retreat with our retreat in Menorca, this was my first one and I made new friends the people where lovely! The food and activities each day were wonderfully thought out and delicious! Amazing yoga and Pilates it has been one of the most special experiences of my life that will never forget! Lisa and Chloe are very special people and I’m so lucky to experience this wholesome retreat! Going back to London feeling like a new person rested and exited for life xxx

What an excellent retreat! From arriving at 42 Acres in Somerset and being met by Lisa, to the farewell lunch it has totally surpassed my expectations. The venue is fantastic, the classes by Chloe were very well thought through, challenging but guided and varied, the vegetarian cuisine was delicious and plentiful. I had a massage (optional extra) which was also very relaxing. Lisa has got this off to a tee and it ran like clockwork. I will definitely return to 42 Acres and probably to a foreign destination - I plan to make this an annual event with Our Retreat! It is the first retreat I’ve attended and the bar has been set very high; other attendees had been on other retreats and said this was by far the best they’d been on.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on their retreat in Portugal. The villa is gorgeous and looks much better in real life than on pictures. Food was delicious. Yoga & Pilates classes didn't feel routine. There was something new every day. We loved it!

One for your list! If there is one thing you should do for yourself this coming year do this! Give yourself the gift of time. Taking time out of a busy schedule filled with work or family life is never easy, however having spent the most beautiful weekend with some wonderful women we all came to the same conclusion; we must make time for ourselves and do this again! This retreat was so perfect in so many ways. Lisa So warm and so welcoming from your first interaction to departure and beyond, Lisa’s mission to make sure each and every guest has the most wonderful time absolutely shines through. Lisa’s unwavering attention to detail and calm demeanour makes her the most perfect host you could wish for. Chloe The classes that Chloe carefully crafted were absolutely amazing. From her incredible breath work, to her interesting flows, uplifting music and just incredible good vibes meant she just left you wanting more. If Chloe lived in North London I would be making her classes part of my weekly schedule! Location & food 42 Acres was the perfect place for us to elope to from London life. A home from home, a wonderful team, comfortable beds and the most delicious food. We swam in the lake, walked next to the beavers, visited the fields where all the produce grows and had a long walk around the local paths.. we felt so welcome and so at home throughout the weekend. Oh and did I mention the deep tissue massage! The people A great retreat is always filled with wonderful souls and what I can say that each and every person I met on the retreat was just my type of person. Kind with great energy, I wouldn’t think twice about attending one of Lisa’s retreats on my own, you will be taken care of and find yourself having wonderful conversations with such interesting people. I came away from the weekend feeling so refreshed, incredibly nourished and so wonderfully restored that this will now be now firmly at the top of my list to do at least each year and rest assured if you book with Our Retreat, you won’t be disappointed ✨

I cannot recommend Our Retreat highly enough – it’s genuinely one of the most transformative wellness experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment you arrive, you can feel the intention, care, and luxury woven into every detail. The setting is breathtaking, the schedule is beautifully balanced, and the atmosphere is the perfect blend of grounding calm and uplifting energy. What truly sets Our Retreat apart, though, is Lisa. She is nothing short of extraordinary. Her warmth, intuition, and expertise make you feel instantly seen and supported. You can tell she pours her whole heart into creating a space where people can reset, grow, and reconnect with themselves. Her guidance in the yoga sessions is thoughtful and empowering, and her presence throughout the retreat makes everything feel personalised and deeply meaningful. If you’re looking for a retreat that feels luxurious yet soulful, structured yet nurturing, look no further. Our Retreat with Lisa is a place you’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and genuinely renewed. A 10/10 experience I’d return to again in a heartbeat.

I was lucky enough to share a weekend retreat in Somerset with two very close friends, and it turned out to be just what I needed in this moment of my life. It gave me the space to pause, reflect, and think about my priorities and the way I’ve been approaching life. During those calm mornings, the energising yoga and Pilates sessions, and the non-stop chatting with my friends about what worries us and what we’re thankful for, I found a new sense of clarity and appreciation for where I am right now. The venue in Somerset was absolutely beautiful—so peaceful and perfectly suited for rest and reflection. Everything was organised seamlessly; each session ran smoothly and on time. The yoga and Pilates were the perfect balance: challenging enough to push me, yet leaving plenty of time and space to relax, meditate, and unwind. A special mention to Lisa, who made everything seem so calm and effortless, even though it was clear a lot of thought and hard work went on behind the scenes. And to Chloe, our yoga teacher, who was simply amazing—she guided and connected with almost twenty women so beautifully, creating space for everyone to move, feel, and release in their own way. I came home feeling grounded, grateful, and reconnected to what really matters. I can’t recommend OurRetreat enough—it’s the perfect setting to reset, recharge, and gain perspective.

What a wonderful weekend...my first retreat and it didn't disappoint. Lisa and Chloe were fabulous hosts, the yoga was superb, the place is beautiful, spacious and tranquil, the food surpassed my expectations with home grown produce and it was very well organised. Its clear that these two ladies care about what they do...and the 42 acres staff were all friendly and helpful too. We had a lovely group of people too to top it all off.
