The adventure unfolds ...
Just 7 miles from Cirencester you will discover the hidden gem that is the stunning Cotswold Park Barns, a truly luxury getaway! Exquisite Cotswold Park Barns is a family owned estate set in 190 acres of private land. Some 11 years ago they lovingly converted the attached dairy & barns into the most wonderful space - every need for the most perfect retreat has been anticipated - ensuite bathrooms, wood fired hot tub, a boot room, a tennis court, separate treatment room for massages, underfloor heating in the yoga space - it has it all! It is an absolute delight to behold and the website pictures do not do it justice.
Beautiful cotswold stone buildings surround a courtyard sun trap, ideal for coffee & chatter in the Autumn sunshine or for simply finding a comfy seat and settling into a good book, whilst taking in the stunning views. At the heart of barns is the Threshing Barn, which contains a wonderful atrium with a magnificent dining table, with room to seat up to 20 guests. Tucked away above this, you will find a hidden mezzanine with comfy sofas for snuggling with warm drinks. There is a large communal room (with underfloor heating), ideal for our yoga practices or a quiet space to sit, read or reflect. If the weather gives us a nice autumnal surprise, we can fling open the doors or take our practice outside to the perfect lawned space, with majestic views across the valley or even into the woodland.
All of the bedrooms have a similar style, each with a boutique country hotel feel - small touches of luxury & thoughtful elements sprinkled throughout. In the main barn there are a few sought after single rooms with ensuite bathrooms and several equally desirable twin bedrooms with ensuites. In the annex, just across the courtyard, there is a further twin room and one single occupancy (double bed) - which both share a bathroom. These two rooms would be ideal for 3 friends sharing (particularly if one friend prefers the luxury of a single room or snores!) or for anyone who is happy to share a bathroom.
Thursday You are welcome to arrive anytime from 2pm on Thursday afternoon and then settle in and explore your surroundings. Shake off the journey with a walk in the 190 acre grounds, or take a stroll through the undulating Cotswold countryside to the local village. Alternatively, choose to curl up with a book somewhere in the beautiful & peaceful grounds or if the weather isn’t on our side (as it’s October!) snuggle in front of the log fire. Drink tea, eat home baked cakes and chat to others, as everyone arrives. Once everyone has arrived we will share a nourishing home cooked dinner in the stunning dining area in the early evening. After dinner, we will gather together for some gentle movement to stretch off the journey & arrive, followed by a guided meditation to settle into our new space for the weekend. Or if you’d prefer, you can take yourself off to your beautiful bedroom whenever you choose, for a sound night’s sleep. It’s your weekend!
Friday Wake to the quiet calm of the Cotswold countryside and join an early morning uplifting Qigong style practice, followed by an appetising selection of breakfast treats. Or you can choose to start the day at your own pace, skip the morning practice & just go for the breakfast :-)
We will then have a wonderfully indulgent mid-morning hatha yoga practice to energise & lift us for the day. After our practice, we will share a freshly prepared lunch, before having the afternoon to simply be. Relax in the courtyard, take a walk to the lake or village, have a nap, chat, read, or treat yourself to a relaxing massage (at own cost), do whatever nourishes you.
We will come together in the early evening for a slower, nurturing & explorative practice using somatics & meditative movement to welcome the evening. Following our practice a delicious vegetarian dinner will be served, with chocolate, drinks and chatter into the night. Another deep and restful night’s sleep awaits!
Saturday Start Saturday with an early morning meditation and a light breakfast, or alternately choose a gentle start to the day, with a quiet lie-in. An engaging, fun and energising yoga practice will take place before we serve a mid morning hearty brunch. Saturday afternoon provides time for you to simply be - no expectations, just time for you to deeply relax and rest. The extra day of the four day weekend gives us additional time to properly slow down and pause, not always available on a short weekend retreat. We will enjoy an early dinner on the Saturday to allow us to come together in the evening for a longer deeply supportive & restorative practice, followed by a restful nidra (sleep) meditation. Take advantage of being so close to your bedroom, and simply pop into bed for a fantastic night’s sleep. Sunday Wake at your own pace on Sunday morning and enjoy a revitalising practice & closing meditation to reflect on the wonderful weekend. We will then enjoy a final tasty brunch together (with takeaway options provided if you have a long journey or are keen to get going). Head off deeply rested, nourished, re-connected and ready to face the world again!
