“I arrived feeling absolutely wired after a stressful week but was immediately comforted by the calming rural setting of Claydon Courtyard Retreat.

The combination of staying in a converted stables with sumptuous bed and enormous bath was both grounding and spoiling .

I really appreciated the emphasis put on Nutritional wellness with delicious vegan and gluten free food as well as the mental and physical wellness that followed life changing trauma release sessions with Neash and twice daily life enhancing yoga sessions with Ali.

glided into my old routine feeling relaxed, invigorated and definitely more inclined to be nicer to those around me ! Thank you Nic and Christine” .

Residential & Day retreat REVIEWS!!!!  

”I can’t recommend Claydon Courtyard Retreat highly enough. It was the most relaxing retreat I have ever discovered and less than an hour from my home in Bristol. Spectacular location, a perfect balance of yoga, breathwork and long country walks. The food was as delicious as it was healthy and the attention to detail in the accommodation was incredible. Nicole and Christine are always on hand but unobtrusive and ensured that everything was perfect. This was my first introduction to breathwork and I will be weaving it into my daily life. The yurt was such a magical environment for yoga and I loved having the freedom to sit and read or walk in the countryside. I came away feeling relaxed and enriched and determined to return”.

“I simply can’t say enough good things about my time spent at Claydon Courtyard Retreat.

From the beautifully furnished and well equipped rooms, to the wonderfully warm welcome, I knew as soon as I arrived I was in good hands and instantly relaxed in my new ‘home.’ This is a retreat for the senses; delicious healthy food, an extraordinarily beautiful setting and homely relaxing venue with sumptuous and comfortable furnishings. As I walked and talked with my new found friends I felt the stresses of the day to day leave, and I felt safe and connected with everyone and everything I was lucky to be surrounded by.

It has been so long since I took time out for myself and here I was allowed the freedom to do just that. The yoga and breathwork sessions were not only professionally run by exceptional practitioners, but were transformative both emotionally and physically. Being at Claydon Courtyard I came with a sense of trepidation and left with a sense of calm. What more could you ask?”

“Thank you for such a magical day. The yurt where we had our classes is a truly unique space and despite it being a chilly day the wood burner kept us wonderfully warm.

The yoga was uplifting yet grounding and did wonders for both my mind and body. Venetia's breathwork session was intriguing and I look forward to doing more classes so as to find a real connection within myself.

Lunch was delicious - beautifully prepared with freshly cooked locally sourced produce.

Claydon Courtyard Retreat is a beautiful, calm and private setting which is very professionally run by Nicole and Christine and  I can't recommend it highly enough. I stepped back into the outside work with renewed energy having met some very special people.”

“Claydon Courtyard is an oasis of calm and beauty in the cotswolds against a backdrop of low key chic interior design. you are warmly welcomed by Nicole and Christine. after a brief fireside introduction guests are led to the yurt for morning Vinyassa flow led by Ali Parkinson. after refreshments Venetia Shepherd the breathwork practitioner teaches us the importance of breathing into the root and guiding us in affirmations which used daily can contribute to a feeling of strength and calm. Lunch back in the house was instragram worthy a table laden with nutritious food. the retreat felt like a safe place you can experience an emotional unburdening, feeling lighter and stronger to face life’s challenges.”
