We are the “No. 1 Best Yoga Retreat” in the UK according to The Times 2022
Somercecil Retreats.
It all begins with connection offline in nourishing spaces. We run bespoke retreats for those looking for a themed wellbeing staycation weekend and private retreats for friends or businesses to re-connect.
Where We Are.
We are based on the Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire, on the border of the Cotswolds. Our retreats are run at the beautiful Dower House, a stone’s throw from Badminton Deer Park.
What activities are on offer at a Somercecil retreat?
Yoga for Everyone
We work with incredible yoga practitioners guiding us through vinyasa flows and restorative classes. Beginners will feel totally at ease in our yoga space!
Delicious food and homegrown veg
It all begins with the food we eat. At Somercecil, we have a personal food philosophy - eat local, eat seasonal, as much as possible. Our chef creates the most delicious nourishing goodness, and we source homegrown veg from our pesticide-free back garden veg farm.
Guided Runs around the Estate
Our days start with a run around the Deer Park, guided by our hosts. We lead two groups, so if you fancy a gentle jog, or a fast-paced 5k, we have you covered.
E-bike rides
E-bikes are an incredible way to see the whole estate. We lead guided tours around Badminton, where you can get up close to the Deer, ride up to Worcester Lodge, and cycle past the beautiful estate house.
Wild Foraging Woodland Walks
We work with an incredible woodland luddite, who knows everything about the woodland surrounding the estate. It’s an immersive experience that will get you inspired.
Accommodation
An amazing opportunity to stay in the Dower House on the Badminton Estate. With beautiful themed bedrooms, suites and a library to relax and unwind in.
Holistic practices
We work with wonderful practitioners, leading cacao ceremonies (our personal favourite), breathwork and sound healing baths. Discover more about the wonders of holistic healing.
Heritage
Learn more about the Badminton Estate, the culture and the history. Did you know, this is where the sport Badminton was first played in 1873.

As humans, we’re wired to connect face-to-face and the strength of this connection affects our physical and mental wellbeing.
In a time when we have the ability to be so connected (thanks zoom and social media!), we’re also becoming incredibly disconnected (thanks COVID and also social media!).
Technology should be used to grow and enhance relationships not replace them…
Stay connected to us.
