Sunsetbay Retreats

What can I say! I had an amazing time with my daughter on our first retreat! Maggie & Graham really made me feel very welcome. It was a home from home. Non of the awkwardness of meeting new people. I just felt I could settle in to a seat, make a drink, move from room to room , have a chat quite easily, like I had been there for ages. The complimentary massage was very welcome after a long journey. I feel I met some really lovely people. Whether that was the other guests or the people providing the events. Thanks to lovely Phil the for the walks & the historical info. There was also so much included i.e massage, therapy, gong bath ( I was apprehensive about this as the last gong bath left me feeling like I had had a sensory overload, but the gong bath at SBWR was absolutely fantastic!) , story telling & music (exceptional voice), yoga ( thanks Frankie for accommodating my lack of 'yoganess' !). Catherine from Wilding Vegan Kitchen for provided us with really amazing vegan food. Simply delicious! I loved how there was the flexibility to go with the flow if an idea came up to do something & not necessarily follow a set itinerary. Maggie & Graham kept checking in to see if I was ok with how things were. I really liked the fact that Maggie & Graham used local talent for the events/classes which made the overall experience seem very community oriented too.

I had never been to a retreat before but everyone involved in Sunset Bay was friendly and welcoming. Maggie and Graham make sure everyone feels comfortable and are happy to accommodate different needs within the group.The food was wonderful, a real highlight of my stay, and more than enough to fuel our adventures. This includes a pre-breakfast" if

I had a fantastic experience, Maggie, Graham and Smudge were the perfect hosts and really welcomed you into their family. The accommodation is lovely and the chapel is so cosy when it's all lit up with candles. Jennie the chef made sure that we never went hungry, the food was amazing and felt so nourishing. I wish I could have her cooking for me full time! The activities were fantastic, I had never paddle boarded or wild swam before but it was so much fun. After such a wonderful experience I feel that I need to go back every year for some much needed me time! Absolute perfection.

Wow, I just returned from a retreat with Sunset bay retreats and I am so grateful that I went on this amazing trip. The retreat was perfectly thought through from start to finish. All of the guests had an included treatment on the first day which really relaxed everyone into the retreat. Maggie and Graham were the perfect hosts. We absolutely loved the experience and have already recommended it to family members who are booking for later this year. Thank you again!

Had a simply wonderful time on my Sunset Bay Retreat! Yogis were amazing. Kirsten’s food was inventive, delicious and nutritious. Maggie and Graham were warm and energetic hosts. Met a lovely group of people who I’m sure I’ll see again and it was loads of fun.Will definitely go again - in the warmer weather next time, so that the swimming won’t be quite as bracing!

If you want to have a few days away, trying yoga, walking, swimming, and paddle boarding in the warmer months this is just an amazing retreat. Maggie and Graham are amazing hosts who invite amazing local people to the chapel to teach yoga, provide treatments, or the guide Phil who meets up for walks in beautiful places. Its an ideal place to relax and meet new people so ideal for solo travellers or couples and it really doesn't matter if you've not done yoga before.Catherine Wildings Vegan food was amazing too!This was my 6th visit and I know I will be back.

Fabulous setting, gorgeous chapel, amazing food and wonderful hosts! I was there last September and have booked again for this September as it’s a must for “me” time. I went solo which I’m so glad I did as I did what I wanted to do! I’m now vegan after tasting only vegan food for the 5 days I was there!! The activities were great and whilst there was lots on it was so very relaxing. I came away feeling so much better in myself. Can’t recommended enough!!

I was part of Lisa French's Summer Solstice visit. What an amazing experience.One week later and I am still feeling the benefits, more relaxed, eating healthier and exercising more.I was feeling apprehensive but Maggie, Graham and Smudge made me feel so welcome and at ease. Kirsty's food was consistently some of the best food I have ever eaten, if I could have brought her home I would turn vegan, delicious.I had the massage as my complimentary treatment, so good I had another one later in the week. I also had my Tarot Cards read, what can I say, highly recommend.I loved all of the activities, but there was something very special about the support we all gave each other to swim in the lake.I highly recommend booking! I'm looking to see when I can go again.Thank you to all.

Wow what a week!I turned up a stressed out lump of concrete, apprehensive about my first ever retreat experience, knowing little about yoga and meditation and concerned I wouldn’t enjoy it. Nevertheless, I loved every second of my stay as soon as I stepped through the door. Every person of the team was welcoming and accommodating.Every section of the day was planned but you were able to join in with as much or as little as you wanted with no pressure. There were lots of extra things to do if you wanted an alternative (eg hot tub/ read a book by an open fire), but the activities were varied and challenging to the right level for you because they were always adjusting the level of difficulty of walks/bike rides/yoga according to ability and requests.Maggie kept an eye on timings and plans so that you could just relax without having to think about a thing. I stopped bothering having my phone and watch with me and just went with the flow!I have been so impressed at the significant difference this trip made to my mental health and well-being. I am so grateful and will definitely feel comfortable booking this retreat alone next time I’m in need of a cocoon!
