Our guest testimonials In their words…

• “Excellent all round - can’t recommend enough! "Everything was spot on: the yoga was different each session in a positive way; Lula was personable and explained everything with such clarity; the location and food was excellent. Would’ve stayed longer if I could!”
• “"Lovely weekend with a variety of yoga sessions and good food" A wonderful yoga teacher who went out of her way to make it a lovely weekend for everyone and who clearly loves what she does. ”
• The programme was very well thought out. I enjoyed every yoga session and learned how to better my techniques. I loved the fact that there was a specially selected variety of yoga practices. The instructor Lula McGill was excellent. I enjoyed spending 3 days with a group of likeminded women, getting to know them, exercising and meditating together, sharing cups of tea, mealtimes and life stories, sharing our experiences and knowledge on wellbeing subject. The house was very comfortable, the yoga studio was full of light and calm, the surrounding grounds were peaceful. We enjoyed some great walks, and the sauna did the trick warning up our bodies and relaxing our muscles. The chef did not stop and everything she cooked was delicious and super healthy. Some of us walked away with inspirational new food recipes. This was my first retreat, but after 3 days I felt very relaxed and enthused to live better, healthier, stress free and I will be planning to do another retreat. I found meaning in taking a break from everyday life and looking after myself, indulging in heathy living, nature and new friends. I particularly enjoyed the first and last talking sessions. They were honest and deeply emotional, powerful moments, led by a very experienced group leader, Lula McGill. Thank you Lula and all the wonderful women in my group from that weekend.

• Had a lovely time in menorca...beautiful location, accommodation and breathtaking scenery all around. A surreal place to really unwind and meditate. Amber and Ivan are the greatest hosts. The food is awesome; wholesome, healthy and plentifil. The yoga, qigong and the mindfulness excursions assist with physical and mental self improvement and deep relaxation. Enjoy xx
• The yoga sessions were just right - neither too much nor too little. And the instructor was easy to follow and very insightful. The food was amazing. And within the group we got on very well together - especially around the meal table!

• “Outstanding experience " From the start to the end an amazing holistic yoga experience. With some different techniques and great meditation styles. Thankyou — Paul R. · Sussex Retreat
• “BOOK IT! " What a wonderful weekend! Yoga retreats are never going to be a negative experience, but I think I hit the jackpot with this one. Being in the company of this group of amazing women was exactly what I needed! Our host Lula was the perfect mix of wisdom, absolute honesty and completely nonjudgmental. She created the perfect environment for a group of people from all kinds of backgrounds and scenarios, to feel completely comfortable as soon as they came together. I’ve learned so much and left this weekend with some real friendships. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful and in an ideal location. No more than a 5 min taxi ride from the station and plenty of parking for those that drive in. A beautiful house with stunning and tranquil views. I’d have stayed longer if I could! And I cannot speak more highly of our chef Kayleigh and the food she made for us all. I’m a meat eater in general, although I do enjoy meat free food too. But I was a little dubious that I’d end up feeling hungry with veggie only meals so I actually bought some snacks with me just in case! Boy was I wrong! The snacks went completely untouched. I was completely satisfied with every meal and I’m a big eater too. Kayleigh did an amazing job! All in all, I had a wonderful weekend and I’d have happily stayed longer if there was an extended retreat. I’ll definitely be back for another weekend. Thank you Lula, Kayleigh and Amber for providing such a brilliant retreat xxx — Michelle O. · Sussex Retreat
• “November Getaway” Lula is a very authentic teacher with a great ability to bring her learning into the classroom. Really respect her honesty in the practice. Inspiring individual to help me continue my journey — David H. · Sussex Retreat
• A truly enlightening experience made all the more special by the personal care and attention shown by our exceptional hosts.......Amber and Ivan. We began our days with Qi-gong explained and led so eloquently by Ivan. Once we were 'warmed up', energised and full of positive chi Amber would then follow on with yoga practice. With her wealth of experience she is able to guide each participant to reach their full potential and we all noticeably improved during the course of the week. The reward for our efforts was to then sit down together and enjoy a superb healthy and nutritious breakfast. This really set us up for the day during which we could take guided mindfulness walks in pretty countryside often with sea views, or 'do our own thing' until sunset yoga. Weather permitting this would take place poolside or on the roof terrace, sometimes with chanting and meditation. The next treat would be the wholesome tasty suppers created by Ivan and enjoyed by all. Amber and Ivan have carefully considered the content, location and ambiance of their retreat which represents excellent value and the vital opportunity to explore oneself. Heartfelt thanks Amber and Ivan for a truly positive experience, namaste Sarah-Jane and Geoff
• I had the most amazing time on the 1 week Menorca yoga retreat in October. Amber’s twice a day yoga classes were a mix of dynamic, relaxing & restorative, by the pool & on the roof terrace. Our group went on a beautiful mindfulness walk in the wilderness by the villa & did a chakra meditation on the rocks by the sea. We also enjoyed a relaxing sound bath. We all opted for Amber’s blissful massages as an extra. Amber & Ivan were incredibly attentive & hard working hosts. Their wholesome vegan & vegetarian cooking was absolutely divine. The villa was stunning, rustic & spotless, located near a dramatic cliff edge with a view up the coast, with a gorgeous beach nearby which we visited most days. I highly recommend this retreat, to anyone wanting to improve their yoga & meditation practice & restore & invigorate their heart & soul. 🙏
• Everything, from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, a perfect 10 from me. Thank you!
• The whole experience was absolutely amazing. The different styles of yoga and meditation meant that there was something for everyone, and lots to learn and bring home with fresh ideas for things to focus on in my home practice. We bonded really well as a group and the energy was fantastic, we have all swapped details to stay in touch. Lula was a great teacher with a wide knowledge of everything from nutrition to Qi Gong as well as the varied yoga styles with a Pilates and movement theory added in. The group ranged from complete beginners to those already on a journey and Lula tailored it for all of us so no one missed out. The food was out of this world, I know some of us were worried about being hungry and that couldn’t have been further from the reality! The house and surroundings are absolutely stunning, we were very lucky with the weather this weekend but it would have been equally gorgeous in more autumnal weather. Definitely worth getting the massage as an extra as well; that was a highlight.
• I loved the location. The space and surrounding countryside was wonderful. The first evening's meditation gave me such a sound sleep I missed the thunder and lightening even though the door to my balcony was wide open, but the owls woke me in the early morning. Sublime. Lula was a great teacher and made sure we were all comfortable in our poses and had time for individual questions regarding things outside the practice. The food was delicious and plentiful and super-healthy. I'm going to definitely go again as I have come back feeling Iighter in spirit with intentions that I hope to carry forward into the future.
• What a weekend! Thank you.
• The setting is serene with beautiful nature on your doorstep. No noise! We loved the variety of classes with Beginner and advanced yogis well catered for. The group bonded well and there was a friendly vibe. The massage was fantastic as well as the jacuzzi and the large swing suitable for adults. It was a real opportunity to just rest, play and look after ourselves.
• “ Dreamy location; Amazing Yoga " I loved this retreat, Lula has so much knowledge to share and really listens and cares about us. The home, the ambience, the food especially were all fantastic. — Jane C. · Sussex Retreat
• Menorca yoga retreat is wonderful. The island is magical and Amber and Ivan your hosts are very special people who will make you feel welcome as soon as you step through the door
• The retreat was set in the most beautiful and peaceful location but easily accessible by taxi from the local train station. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, all healthy, vegan and plenty of it! Lula our instructor was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and her classes were the perfect mix of being accessible for all attendees and providing a challenge for those wanting to go further. There was a fabulous hot tub for us to use which a group of us enjoyed one evening and came out to a clear sky full of stars, which made the experience even more memorable.
• I liked the variety of different types of yoga available for all levels. Very welcoming and very well run. Lula was terrific as the teacher, knowledgeable and helpful. Late night jacuzzi was a treat! Lovely airy bedroom with balcony.
• "A weekend of calm,peace and fun!" Beautiful, clean homely, tranquil setting with an amazing view. Was fortunate to be accompanied by interesting, friendly, considerate, unpretentious women. Amber is serene in nature and name setting.the tone for a very relaxing w/e. Food vegan-tasty and intersting cooked relentlessy from scratch by the industrious Kayleigh-feeling lighter as a result! Combination of yoga, chi gong and meditation including a wonderfully effective gong bath made the w/e a very special experience. Thank you so much. 😊 — Alex B. · Sussex Retreat

• "The perfect yoga retreat balance" The pace of the programme. Nothing felt rushed ... we had lots of time to wind down, have long chats with each other, go for a walk, spend time on our own, read a book, have a massage, take our time over meals, as well as feeling we did a good amount of yoga and meditation. — Jacqueline W. · Sussex Retreat

The food made by Kaylee (sorry if I've spelt it wrong) was incredible, I have already given some recipes a go and loving them! The house was stunning and felt like home instantly This retreat has set the standards for the ones to follow but I will be going back with Amber <3 Thank you for the time you gave us and the space for being able to let go :) xx — Fiona P. · Sussex Retreat
• "Perfect retreat to de-stress & recharge " This retreat was all & more than I ever expected. I’m not a vegetarian however the food was some of the best I’ve evet eaten. The host, Amber, was one of the kindest,calmest people I’ve ever met & the variety of yoga was great. The group for me, was perfect as we were just ladies & I felt so relaxed & easily bonded. The retreat itself is set in fields so could go for a walk or just sit & read in your spare time. The itinerary was set out perfectly & if there is a massage available definitely take one, it was very good. I wouldnt hesitate in booking again. — Pamela I. · Sussex Retreat
• From the second we arrived we were welcomed warmly and introduced to the others. We were shown around and clear instructions were given on the format of the first evening. The soft nature of Amber, the excellent food and the yoga was amazing. It didn't matter that I wasn't very good as instructions were given and all levels were catered for.
• "Simply beautiful " The whole weekend was exactly what I needed and more than I could have hoped for to help me to reconnect amongst wonderful people and in a stunning location.

• I did like almost everything about this. The location is beautiful. You really feel in the middle of nature. The environment that Amber creates makes you feel like you are in a different reality. It allowed me to relax like never before. The food is awesome. I haven't eat so well outside my home in months. The yoga and meditation classes are comprehensible and easy to follow. Perfect for beginners. The overall experience has been awesome. I couldn't recommend it enough.

• "Such a heart blowing experience :) " I am not sure where to start! This to me was a heart blowing experience. I was struggling for the past couple of months and needed some space and time to help me find myself and find some peace within. Well, this retreat gave me that and so much more. As an introvert, I was a bit apprehensive to going into a place where I do not know anyone, but this changed the moment I met such lovely and welcoming people. There were no expectations or judgments from anyone; I loved being able to sit in the sofa reading a book with some lovely music in the background and listening to the sounds and smells of Lula's cooking (brought me great memories from my childhood!). Valerie's Nidra, flow and yin sessions were something else, same with Lula's wholesome food and flow sessions. All of this topped up with gorgeous surroundings, a so much needed massage from Abby, lovely sunsets and such beautiful people. Just thinking about the weekend brings warmth to my heart :) Thank you Valerie and Lula for all your kindness. — Carolina C. · Sussex Retreat
• "Yoga Retreat Bliss" This was my first yoga retreat and definitely won't be my last. The classes were so varied and introduced me to different forms of yoga and meditation, qigong, etc. The food was absolutely incredible and the venue was so secluded and serene. Val and Lula brought the most amazing energy to the weekend, and the other attendees were so warm and welcoming. Everything was amazing and this was just the reset that I needed! — Inge S. · Sussex Retreat
• “ Wonderful weekend” It was so fantastic to get away from it all, to meet new people, to eat delicious food and to be immersed in yoga and mediation for the weekend. Lula was a great host and her knowledge was so impressive. Although I’ve done yoga for years, I learnt so much from Lula. I left feeling both rejuvenated and rested and also very inspired. It’s been just over a week since I returned but the positive effects are still with me. I very much recommend going on retreat here. — Carly R. · Sussex Retreat
• “Most relaxing weekend” After a very challenging year, this retreat was the best gift I could have ever given myself. The house we stayed in was beautiful, surrounded by nature. Amber's teachings were marvelous. One of the biggest highlights of the weekend was definitely trying many new styles of yoga and meditation. I especially enjoyed the free movement workshop. Holly's nourishing vegan cooking was a treat for both the body and the soul. Abby's massage was excellent and revitalizing, I have returned home feeling re-energized and so much better. Thank you so much for a wonderful break! — Demet O. · Sussex Retreat

• "Pure bliss!! Came back empty with empty mind" After pandemic from last year I have been working from home and was looking forward to rejuvenate and this retreat was just perfect for anyone who is looking to relax and empty the mind. The weather turned too hot but its good to have this heatwave. Fortunately we had awesome weather during the retreat and enjoyed every bit of it. The sessions were amazing with different styles of yoga. For me the highlight was the sound bath meditation and the vegan food was sumptuous and the place was like heaven. Appreciate our instructor Lula , Amber and the chef Vanessa for giving us everything we needed. Highly recommend this place. I can assure you will forget all your worries and anxiety and return back with empty mind and learnings for more yoga practices to follow. Thanks a lot for making my first retreat experience amazing. I even went to Hastings (near Battle) to a beach by myself on 3rd day afternoon which was amazing old town by the sea. Thanks Amber for recommending. — Simran B. · Sussex Retreat
• “Peaceful weekend Retreat” This retreat was a peaceful weekend getaway! The food was incredible and the yoga was accessible to everyone - we had a mixture of abilities in the group from complete beginners to yoga teachers. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and our teacher was lovely Lula - she was super knowledgable in health & nutrition and the mechanics of the body and she guided us though many different types of yoga and meditation techniques so every class was different and interesting. My accommodation was perfect - I had the fluffiest bed all to myself and felt like I was literally sleeping on a cloud! I woke up to the sound of the sheep outside and it was dreamy. The massage was also excellent :) — Kate F. · Sussex Retreat

The variety of classes was great as I had no previous experience of face to face yoga teaching. The food was fantastic. The indoor and outdoor space and views were perfect. The instructors were fun, inspiring and knowledgeable — Sarah W. · Sussex Retreat
• I did like absolutely everything about this yoga retreat. It was the right balance - enough yoga practices (5 sessions) and free time to relax. I also valued the chance to try new practice such as moving meditation or quigong. It was also very nice to have a more in depth conversation with the instructors about yoga. The food was so healthy and tasty. The accommodation was very cosy and clean. I would come back again and will definitely recommend this stay to all my friends.
• “A perfect Yoga Retreat” Couldn't rate this retreat more, the lodge was a pleasure to be in , Lula was everything you would expect and more as an instructor, full of great tips and important advice with posture on yoga poses which has helped me greatly. I will definitely go back again at least a couple of times a year. — Paula N. · Sussex Retreat
• "More than you could ever hope for! " his was the most fantastic weekend, transformational. 1. The people. Lula Mcgill is a special person ( our yoga instructor) - she did not just offer yoga ranging across every level which was inclusive and yet able to stretch your personal practice, but also extended ( if you wanted ) into nutrition, meditation, mindfulness, history, holistic yoga practice and even philosophical discussion- she is so dynamic and wonderful but not at all intrusive and very respectful of peoples wished and needs. 2. The food - exquisite - we have the incredible chef ( and yogi) Vanessa , who also has training in functional nutrition amongst other talents and made the most delicious food that was high level restaurant taste with all the healthy goodness you could wish for. 3. The venue is lovely, quiet and beautiful. — Georgina B. · Sussex Retreat
• “Yoga Retreat” All of the yoga and medication sessions were well delivered with flexibility for changes as to what our group wanted and needed. The advice and nutrition teaching was amazing. Lula was a really wise and inspirational woman who has helped me reconnect with yoga, my diet and my relationship with myself. A really good retreat. — Jennifer E. · Sussex Retreat
• “Powerful” This was my first yoga retreat experience. Lula and Ruth were amazing. The yoga was excellent but for me the meditation and spiritual experience was excellent. I was taken on a self journey which was extremely powerful. The surroundings were very peaceful which added to the experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is thinking of going. It has made me rethink alot of things and to make some life changes. Thank you Lula for the journey. — Sarah S. · Sussex Retreat

All in all - more than I expected because it was so gentle and informative and exactly what I needed — Tracy S. · Sussex Retreat
• “Life changing experience” Everything about this retreat was amazing, I felt I took something new away with me from each session that I now apply in my daily routine. I felt at ease as soon as I stepped into the house, and this feeling was carried with me throughout the weekend. The house is beautiful, it's in a special place and the atmosphere there is so warm and cozy! The morning meditation outside overlooking the lake was incredible! I am fairly new to yoga, and I felt as though the sessions were perfect for all levels, with the opportunity to push myself when I wanted to, and the reminder to rest when I needed to and to listen to my body. I ended up doing a headstand which is a huge achievement for me! The massage I had was beautiful, and the wild lake swim although very cold was a complete rush, and the experience brought the group closer together! The food was incredible!! I felt completely nourished the entire time, and by the end of the weekend my skin was so soft! I'm putting that down to the morning juice! During my free time I also went on a walk up to the waterfall, a 15 minute drive away, which was beautiful! I overcame a lot of anxieties, and pushed myself mentally and physically to the limit during this trip, and I feel so much stronger now. I have learnt so much about myself, yoga and healthy food, and I am already adapting this knowledge into my life! Thank you so much:) — Lottie F. · Sussex Retreat
• The location, absolutely beautiful. A great mix of people, and with lack of phone signal and TV, we sat and "spoke" :) Just like it used to be. I really enjoyed the mix of yoga, and learnt a lot of new things. Also learning that vegan food can taste so good.

• “A dream experience” I loved everything about this retreat and learnt so much in such a short time. The food was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed the raw food class and being able to talk to our amazing chef so openly. Each yoga class was completely different but amazing too and it's clear to see that Amber is a real specialist who adores what she does. She created the most beautiful and calming atmosphere from the moment we walked in the door, where everybody could do and be as they wanted. My mum and I did our morning meditations and yoga sessions in our pyjamas, it was that relaxed! By the end of the retreat I felt like I had found myself again and was completely grounded and inspired. I keep referring back to my positive affirmation that Amber asked us to create and it is changing my life. I will definitely be going to another of her retreats - it was an incredible weekend — Marion Z. · Sussex Retreat
• “A beautiful birthday treat” Amber created a welcoming and nurturing atmosphere which allowed people to come together as a group or to spend quiet time reading and relaxing. She also led the yoga sessions and sound bath and qi gong. I particularly enjoyed the sound healing and qi gong, both of which were new to me. Alison gave me a fantastic treatment combining massage, accupressure and Reiki which left me so relaxed I slept for an hour and a half afterwards, and Rob produced delicious vegan food the whole weekend. The accommodation was fabulous too. Spacious and airy, with a wood burning stove and open fire it was both comfortable and warm. — Micheal C. · Sussex Retreat

• “Just what I needed” The weekend retreat was great, food was delicious, really nice people all round and varied yoga & meditation sessions. It was lovely to be looked after and nourished, with time to read, reflect etc. The sound session on Saturday evening was amazing. Hopefully I can keep the relaxed mindful state going for a while longer. — Angelina S. · Sussex Retreat
• Wonderful and rejuvenating Retreat The location, the food, the yoga, the meditation and the company were just perfect.

The combination of Yoga, Qi gong, healthy food, walks and swimming all set in beautiful surroundings was the ideal break away to find some peace and harmony. Much love to Amber and Ivan for being such good hosts, i wish you all the best in your venture. Thank you for the time shared with you both xx
• “The retreat of a lifetime” I needed a reset of my body, as the last 3 years I've been stressed with exams and let my physical body go. About 3 months ago, I started doing yoga again but wanted something to help me reset my thoughts. This retreat was offering everything I was looking for, Yoga, meditation, sound bath and at a reasonable price. I liked the food the teacher Lula (amazing lady) and all the sessions we did. As I said above, it helped me reset my mind and become focused on what I want to achieve and my goals. Lula gave out some great nutritional advice for me to take home. I just want to say it was amazing. — Sandra B. · Sussex Retreat
• "Inspiring in many ways" Food, variety of classes suitable for all levels, massages, charismatic teacher. I can't believe what a gem I found - almost do not want to share with anyone! — Julija H. · Sussex Retreat
