About Thorney Howe

Blissfully tranquil, and nestled in the heart of the Lake District, Thorney How is designed to offer a nurturing space to support retreat leaders, creatives, coaches and entrepreneurs create their perfect experience.

“Imagine a retreat that begins with a long slow deep breath in, while absorbing the surrounding woodland and mountain views; then an exhale where the cares of daily life are relinquished, time begins to slow down and the transformation begins.  It’s time to switch off and make connections within, with others and with nature to create a truly memorable experience.”

About Our Chef:

“Crafting and curating menus for wellness-focused retreats and events is incredibly gratifying. Drawing on our expertise from the plant-based café and our passion for health, it has seamlessly evolved into a natural progression for The Herbarium.
Having personally experienced retreats, I understand how crucial the food is in shaping the entire experience. It's not just about flavor—it's about enhancing wellbeing.
Our cuisine is not only delicious and vibrant but also packed with essential nutrients, offering vitality, resilience, and support for growth and recovery. Every menu is meticulously designed with these principles in mind, and we love doing these events!”

Lucie, The Herbarim

What’s included apart from the obvious?

  1. All meals are delicious, colourful and vegan! Fabulously prepared by the incredible Lucie from The Herbarium in Lancaster; you’ll be throughly nourished on this retreat.

  2. Abundant wildlife! Red squirrels, deer and woodpeckers live in the grounds and can be seen feeding close to the property.

  3. Time for yourself! What a gift that is! Fill up your cup! Recharge that battery and leave feeling reborn.

  4. The most beautiful retreat setting the UK has to offer (IMHO) Name somewhere more stunning than The Lakes? I’ll wait…

  5. Ample chance for cold water dips- we’ve got tarns a plenty in these parts!
