Need a little break from the mental load? Time to rest and refocus away from digital distractions? Or maybe you have an exciting new project you want to get off the ground?
Step into your carefully curated cabin, lock your phone away in the phone jail provided and let your mind rest on the beauty of our garden-grown flowers.
Embracing all things analogue, this independent creative retreat gives you the chance to reclaim your time and attention and reconnect with what really matters to you and makes you feel good. Whether that’s rediscovering long lost hobbies and calming flow-state activities, or bringing a new book or business into the world.
As well as a bucket of our beautiful seasonal blooms to arrange, photograph and enjoy as you please, there’ll be a book hand-picked for you from our local independent bookshop, a notebook for journalling and a letter writing set. We’ll also give you some creative prompts and art pencils.
This DIY retreat gives you the freedom to spend your days however you wish. No schedules, no pressure.
When you need a walk to get the ideas flowing, we’re right next to Powdermill Woods and the 1066 Country Walk. We’re also just a 20 minute drive from the nearest beach at Bexhill… perfect for a morning run along the promenade. And if you let us know your interests, we can recommend some inspiring places to visit nearby too. From the galleries, boutiques and cafes of Hastings and St Leonards to the magnificent gardens at Great Dixter and Sissinghurst.
Like a flower given space to grow, and some gentle care, you’ll emerge feeling bright and vibrant, yet well grounded.
