About the Mountain Lodge venue

The Mountain Lodge is set amongst the breathtaking beauty of the Cambrian Mountains. The perfect retreat setting for yogis, walkers, cyclists, wild swimmers and nature lovers.

The lodge has been lovingly refurbished to offer spacious, comfortable accommodation with large windows to take in the stunning vista by day and star gazing by night. A tranquil escape in nature in an area renowned for abundant wildlife yet easily accessed from London, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham.

Retreat programme

There will be two yoga classes each day with Ash in the yoga shala overlooking the mountains. Mornings will begin with a quiet meditation and gentle pranayama followed by an energising yoga asana practice. In the evenings there will be a shorter relaxing, restorative yoga class to ease you into your evening.

Each day, after morning yoga and breakfast, there will be the opportunity to head out for a walk, cycle or swim or simply curl up and relax with a good book.

Arrival time on Friday 12 August is from 4pm onwards. The first yoga session will be at 5.30pm. The weekend will finish at 10am on Monday 15 August, after breakfast.

Things to do

The location is perfect for a retreat immersed in nature. Set on the walking trail 'The Glyndwr Way' and only minutes from the Hafren Forest with numerous trails leading to the source of the River Severn. The area is renowned for its red kites and ospreys on the nearby lakes.

For wild swimming there's a nearby river and a mountain lake. For evening gatherings, star gazing and fireside chats there's a fire pit in the grounds. The lodge is just 20 minutes from the rural market town of Machynlleth or 45 minutes from the sea and beautiful beaches at Ynyslas or Aberdovey.

The retreat will also offer plenty of time to simply relax and enjoy being in nature. Massage treatments will be available with a local therapist.

Accommodation & food

The bedrooms are spacious, light and recently refurbished with single occupancy, double and twin bed options. Most rooms have a private shower or share with just one other room. Toilets facilities are plentiful and split between male and female.

There will be delicious, nourishing vegetarian food offered throughout the retreat.

Client Reviews

It was an all round marvellous weekend. Ash is warm, funny, very inclusive and invitational and the yoga practices were mindfully put together. Ash also offered additional workshops for people who were interested. The sun shone and Jane and Rowan and Tina looked after us all very well and cooked the most delicious food. The venue was in gorgeous surrounds, was warm and comfortable; altogether I am so happy I went.
Kim
The retreat was amazing. Ash's classes and workshops were great, and exactly what I needed! The food was excellent and Sarah went above and beyond to make sure she catered for our dietary requirements and needs (even when they came last minute!). Jane and Rowan made us feel very welcome and had a lot of suggestions of things to do around the property. Will definitely come back!
Susana
The weekend was wonderful. Jane and Rowan were warm and welcoming hosts - they couldn’t do enough for you. The food was superb - Sarah is a fabulous cook - and plentiful. All-in-all excellent value in a wonderful peaceful setting with people who genuinely cared about what they were doing.
