New for 2025, is our 3-night weekend hiking and yoga holiday at Carsington Water in the Peak District. Carsington Water, one of the largest reservoirs in England, offers beautiful walking trails and diverse wildlife. This yoga retreat is perfect for nature-loving yogis who enjoy hiking and being active, but also like to relax with yoga in a peaceful setting.
On this 3-night yoga retreat, from Friday to Monday, you can find relaxation in nature while being revitalised by yoga, hikes, food, and new friends.
There’s nothing better than being in a new environment where every need is taken care of so you can switch off from the day to day. Included on your 3 night yoga retreat is two guided hikes with with qualified mountain guides where you will climb hills for expansive views of the rolling countryside, and on your return, enjoy a post-hike snack and delicious vegetarian and plant-based meals throughout your stay.
What makes this retreat so special, is the venue – you will be staying on a 10-acre farm with stunning views of the valley, fields, and fishing lake.
The main house is a recently refurbished Georgian farmhouse with elegant period features. There is a large sunroom with beautiful views, a snug with a wood-burning stove, and an outdoor hot tub. In the warmer months, enjoy your morning cup of tea on the patio, surrounded by rolling hills.
In the colder months, curl up with a book in the snug or chat with your new retreat friends. A short walk away is Carsington Water, where you can go birdwatching, or, for those seeking adventure, you can take part in sailing or SUP. This home is the perfect place to enjoy the tranquility of the secluded Derbyshire valley after a day of activities.
Accommodation
This stunning venue is located in Ashbourne right next to Carsington Water in the heart of the Peak District. The main house is a restored Georgian farmhouse with elegant period features and state-of-the-art conveniences. The jewel in the crown of this magnificent property is the vast and sumptuous sunroom, with its striking plush couches and views overlooking the rose bushes, wide lawns and private fishing lake.
There is a large terrace where you can enjoy the natural serenity of the Derbyshire Dales, or take a dip in the hot tub to wind down after a day of hiking.
The main house features six spacious bedrooms, each with their own unique boutique style and private ensuite and a mix of single or twin occupancy. The other bedrooms are in a beautiful barn conversion that combines state-of-the-art appliances with rustic wood and stone to create the perfect backdrop for a modern, rural retreat.

Yoga
On our 3-night hiking yoga retreat in Carsington Water, Peak District, the classes are suitable for all abilities from beginners to intermediate. Everyone is welcome! Our inspiring and experienced teachers are well-practised at adapting the class to everyone’s level.
The yoga teacher will create a more dynamic morning class to prepare you for the day’s hike with vinyasa and hatha flow styles of yoga. The evening class will enable deep relaxation with restorative and yin yoga, meditation, and yoga nidra.
Food
We are a Vegetarian / plant-based company and take great pride in creating incredible food on our retreats.
Our breakfasts are a mixture of savoury and sweet with eggs, yoghurt, bread and butter, and milk, as well as coffee/tea and plant-based options.
Lunch and dinner are more plant-based. Our chefs create diverse and imaginative menus that highlight the seasonality of local produce. We are able to cater to all dietary requirements.
We aren’t a detox retreat, our food is wholesome and healthy so it will feel like a break from the norm, but not enough to experience detox symptoms so that you can enjoy the retreat throughout.
