What our previous guests have to say

"I had such a lovely time on the painting holiday and it has definitely had a lasting impact. I see colours in trees and clouds which I never saw before. I pay so much more attention to colours and shapes and lines in all the nature I see. Also, I have been using your recipes and my family and friends are huge fans! Especially the lentils with cherry tomatoes and sweet potatoes. We seem to be working our way through huge amounts of it. “ - Ramla

“After spending a week relaxing to the peaceful sound of birds and goat bells, enjoying walks through the surrounding landscape, and lounging around the poolside after lively morning art sessions, I returned home and I’ve been able to put a lot of energy into creative pursuits. I just finished a 30 day sketch challenge, doing a bird a day in any medium, to keep me practicing regularly. I came back from the holiday very inspired. I’m even writing again and participating in National Novel Writing Month. I hope to make it back some day “ - Amy
