THE  THEMES

All the themed breaks – which usually last two days and two nights but can be extended – have been carefully put together by our team of professionals at The Real Retreat to ensure that they are balanced. They are a mixture of activity and relaxation, designed to reinvigorate both mind and body. You can come on your own, with your partner or with friends.   Full information on each one is on the drop-down menu.

A relax-and-refresh stay could include a yoga lesson in Duntrune House, followed by a spa treatment in the Retreat Salon and a stroll in our garden. After dinner you can relax with a book or  a massage. If you want mental relaxation, opt for a break devoted to painting – an activity which is totally absorbing. Or, if you want to get in shape before winter, go for our perfect detox break;  it's been our most popular break.  If you want a tailor-made break, let us know what you would like to do and we will fix it.

All activities take place at Duntrune House, apart from the painting (the studio is a few minutes away by foot) and some of the wellbeing and beauty treatments (the Retreat Salon is three minutes by car).  Browse through the programmes on our menu and decide which is for you. 

Business breaks: If you run a business and want to get the decision-makers together for a discussion away from the office and include an activity, then we can provide privacy, a boardroom-style table, plenty of fresh air and light and some pampering!  We also have a dedicated speech-coaching break with voice projection and presentation skills, given by Olwyn Jack, who is a qualified teacher and can help people develop the potential of their voice so that their presentations make the audience sit up and take notice.

                                                                 Whatever the programme you choose, we will ensure that you go home relaxed and reinvigorated.
