The Retreat

Fantastic experience: What an amazing place! Went in feeling stressed and rung out… came out floating on air. The beauty is you can book the spa exclusively so it feels like your own retreat. With on site personal trainers if you want a workout prior and bespoke packages, it’s just perfect. If you haven’t been yet… book!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!! Stunning facility that oozes class from the moment you arrive onto the property. Upon arrival I was met by Martin the head trainer and given a show around of the facility. I attended a group class which had a good fun mobility session to begin with then programming that all fitness abilities would get a lot from. To top it off, an unwind in the spa facilities was a great touch. Thanks again and I will be back.

Fantastic experience: A great team, and a fantastic venue! Recommended 100%.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facilities in this lovely location with professional , expert and friendly staff. Couldn’t ask for more so five stars all round.

Fantastic experience: We came for a couples weekend and had an amazing time. Coming up from London, the transfer from Newcastle was quick, easy and organised. The facilities and team are excellent, 1st class hospitality and the location is stunning. A real breath of fresh air, we left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Truly a private and personal experience, we can’t wait to return!

Fantastic experience: My exclusive spa session was exceptional from start to end. The spa was secluded and peaceful. The facilities were immaculate and easily accessible. Amazing, I didn’t want to leave.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic facilities - 1:1 training with Katherine is awesome - each session is different and tailored to my goals! State of the Art equipment! Best lifestyle decision I made was signing up!

Fantastic experience: What a place to train and relax! The training facilities and trainers are fantastic, not to mention the pool and relaxation area including a sauna are wonderful. Katherine and Martin are great too, you’ll feel restored and ready and raring to go when you leave.

Fantastic experience: A high quality personal training session in a beautiful location. Left feeling energised, relaxed and refreshed.

Fantastic experience: Relentless enthusiasm, motivation and encouragement are prominent during my sessions with Martin. When I started, I had little experience of training nor was I aware of the benefits associated with it. However, over the past few weeks attending sessions with Martin has seen my physical strength, mobility, flexibility and mental resilience significantly improve.

Fantastic experience: The positive enthusiasm from the retreat instructor has unwittingly grabbed my focus and gently promoted me to drive for greater goals. He really cares about my enjoyment throughout ...Thankyou

Fantastic experience: I was fortunate enough to encounter a full day at The Retreat. On arrival I was impressed at how aesthetically pleasing and well equipped it was, not to mention friendly and welcoming. One bespoke PT session was enough to finish me off, so I moved to the stunning spa area to recover. Between the sauna and pool I didn’t stay in one place for long, finding myself wanting to explore and really make the most of the incredible facilities. A truly unique and satisfying experience, would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Amazing space. Fabulous team. Fantastic food. Relaxed and revived 100%. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: Spent last weekend with Katherine and Martin at The Retreat. Perfect for anyone who wants to disconnect, relax and get good healthy training in. Using the fantastic facilities followed by a run along Hadrian's wall was so enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: 6 STARS? Having spent the last weekend at thre Retreat I am still getting over how perfect his place is. Whether its for an activity weekend or a relaxing weekend or a bit of both Katherine and her team will clearly tailor the weekend to what you want most. Everything we wanted (plus more) was there for us. Our weekend some beuatiful exploration of Nortumberland's finest countryside, some tough gym sessions, great food and some serious relaxation in the pool and sauna!

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to spend a weekend at the Retreat and couldn't recommend it more. Katherine and Martin provided us with amazing advice, training, food and encouragement. The facilities are incredible and I wish I could have stayed longer! The Retreat is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their fitness, learn more about a healthy lifestyle or to just escape from the stress of everyday life and chill!

Fantastic experience: I spent a weekend at the Retreat for group triathlon training. Our training plan had been thoroughly thought through by the Retreat team before we arrived, from targeted S&C to training drills in each sport to chill-out time, this met the needs of everyone in the group. Real Honest Food also provided nutrition that suited all our requirements and was delicious. We were all so well looked after the entire time and got so much out of the weekend - in both inside and outside sessions - I highly recommend the group stays as working as a team is really motivating and fun. The Retreat team are extremely supportive and friendly which made both days incredibly enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: I spent half a day with my husband at the Retreat recently, enjoying the great outdoors, tranquil spa, nutrition talk, personal training session and a delicious lunch. This very bespoke and unique experience has given us both the inspiration that we both needed to kick start our 2020 health regime thank you :) We will definitely be returning !

Fantastic experience: Absolute mindful experience, from start to finish, me and my partner booked half a day at the Retreat and what a pleasant and welcoming experience it was. We conducted a PT session which really helped us understand the true meaning of what a satisfying workout consists of, we felt utterly refreshed which played in well with the spa, such amazing modern facilities. We were welcomed by the business owner (Kathy) who went completely put her way to make us feel welcome and apart of something special (which indeed it is) PT Martin really had a good grasp of where to pitch the PT content... he made myself and my partner feel extremely invested. Go book now... it will not disappoint. Views in this fabulous area are beyond scenic to the naked eye it really i will certainly be “RE” visiting again to “TREAT” myself.

Fantastic experience: I visited The Retreat with 4 friends as part of a reunion weekend in Northumberland. We are all into our fitness and booked a PT session. What we got was so much more. The experience of our trainer, Ben, meant that we not only had a work out but also a team bonding experience and left feeling better not just in body but also in mind and soul. The setting is incredible and the facility they have there is luxurious and accomodating. I can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Retreat not just to individuals but also to groups.

Fantastic experience: I have recently started using The Retreat in a effort to get fitter but more importantly help my golf. I’m looking to increase my swing speed by 5mph. I’ve been to plenty of training facilities however this is easily my favourite. The facilities are 5-star and the location is fantastic. Not only do you get the workout but the atmosphere is very relaxing. The pool and Sauna really help my recovery. Kathy and the team are really helpful in every way. I also signed up for the food plan they offer and it’s great! I couldn’t believe how much good there was! Looking forward to getting back.
