I felt very welcome and taken care of.
Emma and Mark were very kind and enthousiastic in their work.
I liked the holistic approach with not only yoga but also chakra's, colours, scents en sounds. Very interesting to learn more about it.

"Just what I needed"
I had a wonderful weekend on retreat at Old Lan Farmhouse. Emma’s organisation and the care that she put into the programme was amazing. Every session was delivered with skill and knowledge. The activities were varied and interesting and importantly all optional.
The food was brilliant and dietary requirements were catered for with ease. The farmhouse is comfy and spacious and the studio is well equipped and calm. Loved the hot tub and being able to use it whenever.
I feel inspired, stretched, nourished and refreshed - Diolch yn fawr Emma and Mark.

"A fulling retreat"
A wide range of different aspects introduced and explored and we were even given access to so many resources we could read and use and also take home. I learnt so much which I didn't expect to, Emma was very knowledgeable and kindly shared her wisdom and resources for us to learn too . A great environment created for all guests and very welcoming. Stunning food, lovely accommodation.

Everything was amazing, all the sessions offered by Emma and Mark were excellent. They both go above and beyond to give guests a fantastic experience. The whole place is very clean and the accommodation is very good quality. I would recommend everything about the retreat and visit them again without hesitation.

"The most wonderful experience"
Everything about this weekend was amazing. Emma and Mark have the most beautiful property and they were so welcoming. The sessions were varied and personalised and the food was absolutely incredible. The facilities were faultless and nothing was ever too much trouble. The forest bathing and mediation with Gerry was one of the highlights and he was a pleasure to be around. Emma's is so knowledgeable about all the different areas she covers and each session with her was really interesting and informative and I can't recommend this weekend enough, thank you so much for a beautiful weekend.

"A restorative break"
We fitted a lot into our time on the retreat but at no point did I feel rushed or hurried - there was plenty of free time alongside the classes and practice, and Emma & Mark were so welcoming it felt like a home away from home. I arrived a bit late after some travel delays but Emma was so thoughtful in finding little ways to bring me up to speed with bits I'd missed. I've come away feeling refreshed and pampered, as well as learning a lot about a range of natural remedies and getting to try out paddle boarding! Would highly recommend :)

"Can’t go wrong "
I can highly recommend the wellness retreat weekend. A variety of sessions from aromatherapy, yoga to colour therapy are run by Emma. Emma shares her knowledge with an easy manner and offers reflexology and other treatments. There is free time to relax in the hot tub or go for walks. The farmhouse is high end and is decorated tastefully. You can’t go wrong.

"Amazing weekend retreat"
This was my first retreat. It exceeded my expectations. Emma is a warm, positive person, who is very knowledgeable about holistic Therapies. I learnt so much from her and the variety of activities on offer. The atmosphere in the house felt relaxed and open. The food was great, and the house is cosy and comfortable. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone.

"Fab weekend at yoga retreat"
An amazing weekend from start to finish.
The hosts Emma and Mark were so welcoming, we were encouraged to treat the farmhouse as our home.
The location, accommodation and food was absolutely superb.
This was my first experience of yoga and I felt very included, all levels of experience were catered for.
Can’t wait to go back!!

"Fabulous weekend"
Everything. The passion and care from Emma and Mark shone through. Felt very welcome and nothing too much trouble. Varied itinerary and very flexible to accommodate everyone. Good Yoga sessions and enjoyed learning some about some new disciplines too. The venue was cosy and comfortable in a stunning location and we were encouraged to make it feel like our own home from home. Felt very well looked after all weekend. Wonderful. Thank you

"I want to go back!!"
I really enjoyed learning about practical and spiritual wellness. I liked the fact that all the main meals were vegan which meant that I didn’t feel left out as a vegan myself. I enjoyed mixing it up with yoga for strength, stretching and relaxation as well as circuit training. Paddle boarding was amazing as connecting with nature and leaning a new skill really puts you in the moment. It was all wonderful.

"The most enlightening experience of my life"
The instructors were absolutely fantastic, so passionate about what they do, so knowledgeable and they all work in perfect harmony of each other. The setting and the accommodation was top class and the food made by Fern was utterly delectable and the programme set for the weekend was perfectly thought out. Anything you wanted or needed was never too much trouble and so much care was taken to ensure your experience and stay was was at its optimum. I can't recommend Old Lan Farmhouse enough, I guarantee it will be an experience that you will never forget. Namaste

"Amazing retreat in the Welsh countryside "
From the minute I walked through the door, I felt welcome and relaxed at the Old Lan Farmhouse. The programme was varied and balanced perfectly between physical activities, other treatments and downtime. Each yoga session was varied so would suit people with all levels of yoga experience. The farmhouse was beautifully decorated. My bedroom, Luna, was snug and cosy with plenty space for everything. The food catered by Fern was amazing and I loved the little touches like toasting marshmallows and mulled wine around the fire pit. I particularly benefitted from the meditation soundbath, which was a new experience for me - I left the studio feeling like a switch had been clicked and I was back to the person I used to be before life got on top of me. I really can't recommend this retreat highly enough. Thank you Emma, Faye, Fern and Michelle for an amazing weekend. It was exactly what I needed after a stressful couple of years and I will be back soon!

"Discover a new you - yoga, crystals and even pole dancing!"
A great atmosphere with really friendly instructors. I was nervous about going on my own, but Emma and Faye gave loads of opportunities for group bonding through activities, so we all became a supportive cohesive group. As well as all the yoga, which was great, I loved the work with colours and crystals, plus personal development work too. Pole dancing was really fun and a great ice breaker! The weekend has given me a new outlook and I'm putting everything I learned into practice now I'm back home. The retreat venue is gorgeous and the bed was so comfortable. And the food... simply spectacular! Wonderful vegetarian food and a huge variety - a great opportunity to try things you haven't had before.

"A bright gem of wonderfulness -Go!"
It’s difficult to put into words how good an experience I had…thankful is how I feel! The yoga practice and opportunities to open my mind to new holistic approaches were all excellent. There was something for everyone and you never felt like you had to do an activity if it wasn’t for you. The food…awesome doesn’t do it justice! The accommodation was great too. You feel part of a yoga family, rather than just a number when you go here.

"Most incredible weekend"
I had the most amazing weekend at The Retreat at Old Lan Farmhouse. Emma and Faye were fantastic instructors, and Fern (the chef) provided the most delicious vegetarian food I've ever tasted. The amount of activities we did over the weekend was unbelievable, such a great introduction to so many things from colour therapy to pole dancing and everything in-between. Emma and Faye really wanted to get to know each of us as individuals with the 1:1 sessions at the beginning then the facials and massages over the weekend, which meant they were able to give more advice as we went through the other activities. The Farmhouse itself and the surroundings were also beautiful. An incredible weekend, can't wait to go back next year for the reunion!

"An incredible transformative weekend "
Absolutely stunning location in beautiful welsh countryside. The house and lodges were done to such a high spec as good as any top boutique hotel I’ve been to and spotlessly clean. Some of the most transformative yoga I’ve ever done and a hilarious time bonding with the group learning pole…from the fire pit to the hot tub we met as a group of strangers and are now WhatsApping encouragement as a group of friends…Emma has created a very special place to relax, unwind, make friends and laugh along the way. Loved my stay here, booking in for a reunion.

"Just fabulous! "
The house and accommodation are five star, food amazingly good - all homemade, local and delicious. The team were amazing - friendly and professional. The sessions - yoga, mediation etc were excellent and we also did some workshops on colour therapy and Bach flower remedies which were interesting. There was no pressure to do everything on offer, just to do what suited you. Didn’t want to leave, and will definitely return!
