Sunny Brow Farm’s retreat accommodations are beautifully renovated barn conversions. There are four barns renovated into self-contained barn cottages. Two cottages take up the upper and lower parts of a Lakeland bank barn, and two are smaller and separate. All barns have bedroom/s, bathroom/s, living space, kitchen, and dining area. The barns have been lovingly renovated to allow modern fittings and style to sit alongside the old barn features and optional log burners. Characterful yet with modern comfort, the barn accommodation will fulfill all your needs. They are all equipped with good Wi-Fi.

The yoga studio and massage rooms are nestled within the area of the barn conversions, and the studio overlooks woodlands and sheep pastures.

Itinerary of barns

  • The Old Dairy – a ground-floor barn cottage with two private bedrooms—one double and one single—which share a bathroom and living space. This barn is also where retreat guests eat communally on a large oak table.
  • Sunny Brow Barn: one bedroom that can be twin or double ensuite, with private living space.
  • The Hayloft is an upper-floor barn cottage in a large renovated hay barn. Two twin or double ensuite bedrooms that share a large open-plan living space.
  • Bracken Barn – one bedroom that can be twin or double ensuite, with private living space.

Program

Woven with careful thought from over 10 years’ experience of running retreats, our itinerary is full and ample, yet inclusive of personal space for your own adventures. Each Sacred Yoga session becomes bespoke for the group gathered and can suit beginner or advanced practitioners.

Sunny Brow Farm's experienced team offers transformative yoga, ritual massage, cacao ceremony, and soulful meditation, as well as the nourishing healing qualities of plant-based cuisine, all held by the beautiful land and renovated barns at Sunny Brow Farm. You will leave revitalized and refreshed, with a new sense of connectedness to what matters most to you.

The ancient path of yoga offers you a way to sacred connectedness with life, each other, and ourselves. Suzy and Jane offer these sacred yoga retreats from this place. They combine unique healing yogic form with spiritual practice, gentle ritual, simple ceremony, and deeply transformative massage.

Each retreat responds to the needs of the people who come, allowing you to strengthen and stretch your body, release your mind, and calm your heart. It is woven from both Suzy and Jane’s extensive experience supporting people to reconnect with who they are meant to be. More than just another yoga retreat, this retreat offers you the space to transform.

Retreat location

Sunny Brow Farm is a beautifully renovated old Cumbrian farm, set within the hills and dales of the Lake District National Park. This allows easy access to the lakes, rivers, forests, villages, and beautiful hikes within the stunning South Lake District.

Sunny Brow Farm itself is nestled in the dale near Black Fell, with streams, sheep pasture land, and woodland directly on the doorstep. Being in such close proximity to nature is such a gift for a quiet and natural stay.

The nearest village is Hawkshead (5-minute drive), and the nearest small town is Ambleside (10-minute drive).

Food

Sunny Brow Farm's food ethos is to nourish the body with natural, elegant, and really tasty plant-based cuisine. A love of seasonal, organic, homegrown, and wild foods from nature’s garden influences their menus. Using inspiration from these elements, they consciously plan and prepare the menus for the retreats. The menus are always seasonal to allow for a deeper connection to nature’s gifts at each time of year.

Their approach is rooted in macrobiotic principles, emphasising gut health through healthy plant-based foods, whole grains, and optimum preparation methods like fermentation. They prioritise a rich variety of vegetables and predominantly unprocessed, plant-based ingredients. Sunny Brow Farm maintains a fully gluten-free and refined sugar-free menu. While their focus is primarily on plant-based foods, they occasionally incorporate natural organic yoghurt and farm-fresh eggs. They pride themselves on catering for all food intolerances at no extra cost to the guest.

On retreat, everyone enjoys meal times around a large oak table in their old dairy barn, a social space to enjoy like-minded fellow retreat guests, and the gifts of foods cooked, prepared, and served with love. They serve two large eclectic meals each day; plus, lighter breakfast and afternoon tea snacks are also available.

The following meals are included:

  • Brunch
  • Dinner

The following drinks are included:

  • Water
  • Tea

The following dietary requirement(s) are served and/or catered for:

  • Vegetarian
  • Vegan
  • Gluten Free
  • Organic
  • Lactose Free
  • Whole food
  • Ayurvedic
If you have special dietary requirements it's a good idea to communicate it to the organiser when making a reservation

Things to do (optional)

The itinerary shows all the inclusive sessions on-site. On this retreat, Sunny Brow Farm does not offer any facilitated off-site excursions, but due to the location in the Lake District, many people choose to do their own hikes and / or wild swims. Sunny Brow Farm can give recommendations for this if you wish.

  • Book an extra treatment from the spa list
  • Cosy down in your barn living space—maybe in front of a fire—with a book (there is a yoga / holistic book library if you wish), and cup of tea or cacao (extra costs for logs and cacao)
  • Enjoy Lakeland walk / hike (varying from easy to more challenging)
  • Wild swimming locally
  • Enjoy a trip to Sacred Essence, a wonderful local shop (10-minute drive) selling great holistic goods.
  • Enjoy a trip to Hawkshead village, Ambleside, Windermere or Coniston
