Lake Isle Retreats

We had a fantastic time at our mindfulness and meditation retreat .. location beautiful, facilities top class and the hospitality from Tim was brilliant. Best retreat I was ever on and the temple across the lake has to be experienced. Can't wait to come back .

I attended a recent Yoga Weekend at the Lake Isle Centre run by Tim and Yen McEvitt.The weekend was full of kindness and empathy, shown to all by facilitators and participants. Often these are buzzwords, not actually lived and shared.The centre is in a peaceful rural location, with ample on-site parking, it's surrounded by the sounds of nature with walks, lakes and woodlands nearby.My room was homely, spacious and spotlessly clean, the bed was particularly comfy and shared bathroom downstairs. The food is vegetarian and allergies and preferences were catered for, all home-cooked by Yen, she is an amazing baker.Yoga classes were given by three different people over the weekend and I particularly liked the content and style of Evangeline's classes who encouraged and pushed us beyond where we thought we could go.I had also booked a back massage with Yen and experienced a sound bath led by Sukhada, both highly recommended.

Amazing place! Went to the silent retreat in November. All activities, yoga, meditation, the trip to the island and the walk were all so enjoyable. Everything was so well organised. The food was so delicious! The house is absolutely comfortable and warm. I learned so much and it was just what I needed. Time for silence after a busy year.

Thanks to Tim & Yen for a calming detox retreat, warm welcome and delicious food.Set in a beautiful location off the beaten track, we spent the weekend winding down, walking in nature and attending yoga, mindfulness and meditation sessions.For me the highlight was a trip to the island with a beautiful Hare Krishna celebration and delicious food, given with generosity and love. I highly recommended it and I hope to go back soon.

A truly beautiful experience at Lake Isle. The silent retreat is something that I would recommend to anyone wanting some time out to disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with self. The space for quite reflection and meditation, food, activities and visit to temple are all very worthwhile. I’ll be back. Particularly fond of the yoga sessions with Fiona and the hot stone massage with Yen. I’ll be back again soon

I discovered Lake Isle Retreats as I was looking for a yoga weekend away in a nice tranquil spot away from the hustle and bustle of Dublin and boy was I not disappointed!I went with my sister in law and from the very start Tim and Yen were very welcoming and made sure we were looked after, as they did with all the guests.The retreat itself is very secluded and you feel at peace and tuned into nature. There's plenty of space and forests to go and explore and just have time to yourself.We did the yoga retreat and as beginners we were looked after. That's not to say they didn't cater to all levels, the instructors were very experienced and were able to cater to everyone.The food was delicious! I'm not vegetarian, but after the weekend I'd consider becoming one! I didn't miss meat whatsoever.There is an element of learning the Hare Krishna ways through meditation and their philosophies (but completely optional however) the temple visit is a must in my opinion!The therapies offered are AMAZING!! I can hand on heart say I got the best massage EVER here.Overall (I could go on and on, I actually can't stop talking about this gem of a place!) I 100% would recommend this retreat, you're looked after the whole time by the most wonderful hosts, the price is unbelievably good and I can't wait to book my next retreat!

What an absolute pleasure and experience doing the yoga retreat weekend .i went with my sister in law and we both had a beautiful stay and relaxing time hereWe were welcomed and felt at home from the minute we got there.Tim is a great host and very humble. The food was outstanding all home made and you can feel the passion and love that goes into it.The house and atmosphere is something you need to experience if you're looking to break away from reality and keep an open mind to a new experience.For someone who may be on a spiritual journey or even just a new experience i highly recommend this retreat.Thank you tim and all who accommodated us this weekend.

I highly recommend this majestic place to anyone looking for peace, relaxation, and tranquility. Food is homemade, everything from scratch, and the vegetables are grown from the garden. Tim and Yen are great hosts! I took Tim’s guided meditation class and he was brilliant and well experienced at what he does. Yen’s cooking is so flavourful! One can never have enough of her home cooked food and delicious desserts. Never missed out on their relaxing therapy.
