About Us

Hayley and Tom live in such a beautiful place. We absolutely loved our time there. The yurt was cozy, homely and very clean…as were all the facilities. Breakfast was amazing! The walks were spectacular but the Dry Forest Bathing is something I’ll never forget. Tom has a wealth of knowledge about the areas history, the woodland, the science behind Dry Forest bathing…but the emersion of being in the forest was magical. I didn’t stop smiling from the start to the end of the experience. I am so grateful for Hayley, Tom and their family sharing their beautiful home. I can’t wait to try one of Hayley’s yoga retreat!

I held my Stir Day Retreat at Hill Farm on Imbolc and I couldn’t have asked for more from a venue & hosts. Hayley & Tom were communicative in advance and wonderful on the day. The food was delicious & plentiful, the spaces were clean & had lovely touches like flowers & a seasonal wreath. As a retreat leader, it made the whole event less stressful knowing I was in capable (& calm) hands. Will definitely hold another event here - my group also loved it!!! Thank you Tom & Hayley x

We have just had another very special stay at Hill Farm… it really is a magical place. The breathtaking views, beautiful woodland, calming surroundings, cosy yurts all make this such a wonderful place to relax, unwind, and reconnect. Hayley & Tom are fabulous hosts; welcoming, friendly & helpful. We have stayed in “Room with a view” in previous years (which we love) but this year stayed in one of the yurts to accommodate all four of us & our dog. This really was “quality family time” - enjoying nature, cooking outdoors, woodland walks, cosy evenings by the fire pit & board games in the yurt with the log burner glowing - just perfect. (Also had a wonderful massage from Hayley - bliss). Thank you Hayley & Tom for sharing your little piece of paradise with us, we can’t wait to see you again soon.

Visited Hill Farm for my 30th birthday last weekend and had a blast! We hired all the yurts and the hot tub area too. It was the perfect place for a big get together of friends and family. The views of the valley below are beautiful and the hosts ensure you are fully prepared for your stay. It rained heavily when we visited and it was not an issue as there is plenty of cover along with the yurts etc. I will hopefully be back for another big occasion :)

I cannot recommend Forest Retreats enough. It was the perfect escape from the real world. I went with a few of my friends for my 40th Birthday and came back floating, happy and contented. Such a beautiful place looking over the valley and doing yoga in the woods followed by scrummy pizza (made by Tom) and a soak in the hot tub and sauna looking up at the stars. I also had amazing massage from Hayley and she really worked on the knots in my back. I wish I could go back for a massage every week! Tom and Hayley are amazing hosts and made sure we had a fantastic time. All the girls said they want to go back again so we will be booking again for whoever's birthday it is next for sure!
