Somercecil @Badminton

Highest recommendation! The yoga, the nature, the food, the people, the cottage—all wonderful. A very special weekend; one I shall treasure for a long time. Bella & Gaby are fantastic hosts too. 5* all-round.

My weekend yoga retreat at Somercecil has been heaven on earth, everything was beyond perfect. Such a nourishing time, making new friends, wonderful & interesting walks, amazing yoga, out of this world food and all in the most beautiful setting & loved home. A very special experience - I would highly recommend.Thank you to the wonderful hosts Bella & Gabby. I will certainly be returning.

The NYE Yoga Retreat has been the best present I could gift myself for my birthday. The place is purely magical and Bella & Gaby have been such incredible hosts who have created and held a safe space for all of us to relax, reflect and connect with wonderfully inspiring people. If you're looking for a blissful gift for your body, mind and soul, i couldn't recommend Somercecil retreats more highly. Thank you, Bella and Gaby!

The most wonderful weekend. Thank you to Gabbs, Bella and Tiger for taking such good care of my partner and I. And to Clarissa for the most incredible food. Wholesome, healthy and nurturing weekend, from start to finish. We'll definitely be back xx

Such a gorgeous retreat. A really thoughtful schedule with lots to do, but time to rest as well. I loved the yoga with Bella. I feel like a different person. The food was very healthy and delicious with salad straight from the garden. Wonderful walks. Interesting discussions and ceremonies. A favourite part for me was learning about woodland, foraging and nature with Neil. He’s superb. Like minded lovely people and a beautiful location. Bella and Gaby were perfect hosts. I couldn’t recommend this more for anyone wanting to recharge.

Being my first wellness retreat I wasn't sure what to expect but I absolutely love it! Gaby and Bella are the most wonderful hosts, they couldn't be more welcoming and the attention to detail was phenomenal.A magical setting (the picture is of Badminton House as we sat in the deer park listening to the stags rutting). Highlights include:- the food... Clarrisa is a wizard in the kitchen and proves that sustainable, locally sourced, vegan food can be just as delicious as anything else I've ever tasted (I don't think I failed to go back for thirds)- The woodland walk... the charismatic Neil (a real life Little John) is just brilliant- Yoga... Bella has an amazingly calm and relaxing style that caters to all levels of experience- Cacao ceremony... what a great way to connect with people!All in all a wonderful experience with great people (plenty of laughter), would highly recommend!

An absolutely phenomenal experience at Badminton with Somercecil retreats. It is hard to put into words just how wonderfully wholesome, comfortable and nourishing the 4 day retreat was.The unique programme Somercecil have developed really does allow time for people to connect with one another, nature & themselves.For those looking for a retreat where they can truly relax, feel comfortable & embrace wholesome activities with space for themselves - well done, you've found what you were looking for!Gaby & Bella are such gentle, thoughtful & competent hosts with phenomenal attention to detail and have a warming approach where guests feel safe, heard & inspired.The food was absolutely out of this world - It's seemingly impossible to imagine that Clarissa was able to produce such an exquisite range of foods for every single meal. (if you're a foodie, then I'd just book for the privilege of enjoying Clarissa's meals!)As a yoga teacher I cannot recommend this retreat enough because Bella's teaching is accessible to all levels & she has a natural ability to bring about a sense of calm & peace within her teaching. The intimate group size allowed for real connection to be felt and I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent around the fire, in our cacao ceremony, foraging & woodland walks as well as around the dinner table.A truly unforgettable experience. I have no doubt Somercecil Retreats are going to take off once the secret gets out.Thank you a million times over. I really enjoyed sharing the yoga teaching here; I will be forever grateful for the nourishing experience you provided & the friendships which have blossomed.All my love and thanks girls!

Truely wonderful weekend in a beautiful setting. The weekend nourished both my body and soul with a perfect balance of yoga and meditation practice and delicious food, plus fabulous company. Gaby and Bella are gorgeous hosts, looking after everyone, whilst also sharing their own experience. I wanted to feel restored and it was achieved. I will return! Thank you.
