WHAT, WHERE?
The gorgeous Orchardleigh Estate – a 19th century mansion set in 500 acres of glorious countryside just outside Frome and not far from Bath – is known as one of Somerset’s top venue venues. They host the nuptials for A-listers and mere mortals alike. But did you know they now run holistic wellness retreats? It makes perfect sense: the beautiful and tranquil setting couldn’t be better suited for relaxing, restoring, healing, growing and even finding – dare I say it – inner peace.
THE LOWDOWN
Orchardleigh Estate Wellness Retreats is the brainchild of Samantha Newby-Vincent, whose family have owned Orchardleigh House, which dates back to 1856, since 1999. It’s hard to believe now, but when they took it on, it was more or less derelict. It’s her father, Christopher Vincent, who has lovingly brought the house – and its grounds – back to magnificent life.

🌸 What a beautiful weekend at @orchardleigh_wellness_retreat this was.
🧘♀️ This wellness retreat started out quite mainstream and conventional, I wasn’t sure if this was the retreat I would truly benefit from.
💕 However, by halfway through the first day, it became apparent that this would be a spiritual retreat, which was everything I needed and more.
✨ The healing was incredible, and we were introduced to so many different types of healing in just two short days. I left feeling so well-rested and rejuvenated.
🫀 Orchardleigh has a couple of other types of retreats planned for the year, including a menopause retreat, but I highly recommend the wellbeing retreat in November, as this was the retreat I experienced.
