Soul Soothing Summer Retreat, UK

We understand it isn’t always easy to get away from a busy family life & a heavy-duty career & so we’ve created the perfect 3-night, weekend escape by the sea on the East Sussex coast especially for when you’ve not much time to spare.

Just a couple of days away can feel like a full reset. The rhythmic sound of the ocean, the salty breeze, and the wide open horizon create a sense of peace that’s hard to find at home.

Join us to disconnect from daily life and return feeling refreshed, grounded, and recharged, as if you’d been away much longer.

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a while – including you.” Anne Lammont

Our Retreat Location

On the coast, not so far from Brighton in East Sussex, England, lies Florence House. An elegant, peaceful house nestled in 6 acres of grounds within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

With the ocean at the bottom of the garden and Seaford town reached in a 15 minute stroll, Florence House was originally a private home but now, having been lovingly restored, is a much loved destination for relaxing retreats.

Inside is a spacious light filled yoga room that opens onto the garden, a cosy oak panelled library, dining room, comfortable lounge with fireplace and 18 peaceful bedrooms decorated in calming colours to reflect the light & airy feeling of the surrounding countryside.

In the grounds is a meditation yurt and a walled garden providing the perfect spot for quiet contemplation and alfresco breakfasts.

A short stroll through the garden takes you to Englands Coast Path – the longest coastal path in the world that follows the entire length of the English coast. We absolutely recommend the walk from Florence House towards the Seven Sisters chalky cliffs – a route described by Country Living magazine as one of the Top 10 Breathtaking Spots to see the Sunrise!

Florence house is easily accessed by road or a 5 minute taxi from Seaford station or, 1.30 hrs train ride from London Victoria.

The Accommodation : Your Home by the Sea

A place of comfort, contentment & peace.

Every bedroom is designed to be a quiet, relaxing haven – a place where you can land softly at the end of the day.

There’s a choice of twins, doubles & single rooms all with views towards the sea, the rolling hills of the South Downs or the garden. Some bedrooms have their own en-suite bathroom whilst others share one of the bathrooms nearby.

Most of our guests come on their own so, if you’re coming solo & are happy to share a twin with another guest, let us know & we’ll pair you with someone of the same sex.

""When I arrived I was tired and felt ‘swollen’. Now I feel wonderful, healthier, lighter and happier! Nicole your yoga teaching is marvellous and I loved the Pilates sessions too"" Anne

THE SOUL SOOTHING SUMMER RETREAT EXPERIENCE

From your arrival Friday afternoon to departure on Monday morning, we’ve created a rich & nourishing schedule whilst embracing the slow, sensuous pace you want on a retreat.

Mornings ease in gently with teas and fresh fruit to help you awaken at your own pace. For any early risers, you could take a refreshing dip in the sea or watch the sun rise over the ocean before the 90 minute yoga session to open & energise your body & mind to the day.

After yoga a hearty vegetarian buffet breakfast awaits. Throughout the weekend, every meal is lovingly prepared by our private chef, who goes above and beyond to create dishes that are both delicious and deeply nourishing, using only the freshest seasonal produce. We like to call it ‘sunshine food’ — bursting with goodness and flavour!

After breakfast, create a day of your own design.

Perhaps you’ll choose to relax in the garden, hike along the coastal path, take a dip in the sea, book a soothing massage, enjoy a beachside sauna (best pre-booked), or simply explore Seaford town — home to some lovely tea and cake shops!

After lunch, we come together late afternoon for a calming yoga or Pilates session, the perfect way to unwind from the day’s adventures, before sitting down to a vibrant, flavour-packed supper.

To help you make the most of your time away, we’ve curated a couple of special evening experiences. If you feel you’re lacking in fashion confidence or, lost your sense of what suits you, Alison Brown,* Image & Lifestyle Consultant, will join us Saturday evening to help you figure out what to wear to suit your own unique style personality. Then, Sunday evening, we’ll gather around the firepit for a twilight Manifesting Fire Ritual beneath the stars — a beautiful way to close your weekend.

* Alison will also be available for 1:1 style consultations during the weekend too
