What does it take to create the ultimate regenerative retreat? These days it’s easy to find the same old juice, yoga ‘n’ meditation mixture served up with a slice of raw cucumber, particularly in the south of the UK. But what if you want something truly special? And what about going north of the Watford Gap?
These were the questions that inspired selfemployed mother of two Nici Hewitson to establish The Well Connected (thewellconnected.co.uk). It’s the first luxury retreat company in the Lake District and it’s all about individuality, choice and selfnurture. The love begins a few weeks before I leave home, as Nici posts soontobe retreaters gifts of loose leaf tea and vegan snacks. But the real fun starts when we arrive at Brimstone.
