Holycombe House is run as an eco-house for this reason you are asked to bring your own pillow cover, sheet and towel for the weekend. There are three shared bathrooms and two ensuite and I configure the bookings for as much privacy as possible.
The Angel Room is our practice space with stunning wooden flooring and underfloor heating, a yogi’s delight. It looks out over the valley and garden, a boosting backdrop for our practices.
The Garden Room off the practice space is the dining area with alfresco eating weather permitting. It’s no surprise weekend retreats have been held at Holycombe for over 15 years.
HOLYCOMBE HOLISTIC CENTRE
Holycombe Holistic Centre is set in a lush valley on the edge of the Cotswold village of Whichford and it’s easy to see the owners renovation inspiration came from Tolkein’s description of Rivendell in the Lord of the Rings.
It’s a peaceful space for reflection with a shaded coppice just off the garden and over the meadow is the ancient Whichford wood with rare trees and plants. There are lots of seating areas dotted around so you can sit and just be with nature.
The wood provides a beautiful backdrop for mindful strolling but if you have more energy there are a few local walks to enjoy so pack your walking boots or wellies!
DISCOVER THE VILLAGE
Venturing away from Holycombe, walk through the village to Whichford Pottery, a lovely place to visit and worth popping into their cafe and shop.
The village is pretty with houses built in Cotswold stone with a church, village green and local pub.
Further afield by car is the well known Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold.
