Harvest Moon Retreat - 42 Acres

Are you looking for something exciting and new to do this weekend? How about trying a yoga retreat in Somerset? Your home for the weekend is the stunning 42 Acres retreat in Frome. Set on 42 acres of private land, a tranquil retreat space cocooned by seven hundred acres of ancient woodland. Sustainability and comfort are at the forefront of the 42 acres vision, with reclaimed materials used to outfit the interiors of the property and full use of renewable power, self-generated through biomass and solar. The retreat looks at a healthy, yogic lifestyle and will be offering a vegetarian diet consisting of pure, simple, natural foods to optimal promote health and digestion. Meals will be lovingly prepared by resident chef, using delicious, locally sourced organic produce!
