The Manoir sits in 6 acres of land, a haven for you to enjoy during your stay, explore, sit, play and take in the calming views. The grounds include a large rambling field for messing around in, and a more tamed, lawned, garden area with the pool and its terrace. There is a lovely small orchard with apple, pear, cherry and chestnut trees and you'll also find fig and walnut trees elsewhere in the grounds.

The main area at the back of the house is the lawns and the pool, which is where our guests enjoy spending most of their time. The slopes are perfect for overlooking the house and valley, for sunbathing by the pool or on the grass, and there's plenty of room for a rather hilly game of croquet. There are a few well-placed trees to over some much-needed shade in the hotter months too. Plus there are some bikes if you fancy exploring further.

Daily workouts will include 2 x 45 minute high intensity workouts in the morning, based on barre, Pilates, strength and fitness, including resistance bands and weights. In the evenings, we’ll work on stretching, mobility, or add in restorative yoga and meditation. All workouts will take place outdoors in the fresh air (where possible), making the most of the warmer climate and beautiful surroundings, although there are 2 fully equipped indoor studios should we wish to use them.

During the day between workouts, there are additional ‘opt in’ activities (at cost price - cost is extra), which include: horse riding, wild swimming, and a day trip to Limoges - a beautiful town with food markets, botanical gardens, Cathedral and many French boutique shops. You can choose to participate in as many of these activities as you like. Or subsequently, you can take the time for yourself to go for a solo explore of the local area, go for a walk through the orchard, or relax by the pool on the property and read a book.

Choose from a triple room sharing, or twin room sharing. Private rooms are available for a single supplement. Rooms are ensuite or with private bathroom with comfy beds, high quality bed linen and lovely toiletries

The Manoir itself is an 18th Century manor farmhouse, with acres to explore, stylish vintage and homespun collected interiors, a pool to splash in, and views that will feed your soul and calm your mind. The location is the rural landscape of Nouvelle Aquitaine, Limousin, a region often referred to as ‘the French Lake District’. All food and non-Alcoholic drinks are included. The resident chef takes care of all cooking and the menu will change daily, with both vegan, vegetarian, and meat/fish options. All dietary requirements can be accommodated.

Alcohol is optional, giving you the choice to have a detox week, or sample the local wine in the evening in one of many rooms on the property, or outside on the patio.

The retreat has been designed so that all you need to do is turn up, and we take care of everything else.
