PLACE
Oasis & Sanctuary
Peace lives here. And for a while, so will you.
Some places just know what you need. This is one of them. The moment you arrive, something shifts, your shoulders drop, your breath slows, the noise of your busy life starts to fall away.
Every detail chosen with love. For you.
DAY RETREATS
Grassendale House
Light pours through shuttered windows. Warm wooden floors. A small cool breeze. The smell of something wonderful. You’ll feel it the second you walk in.
This is where we talk about our lives. Where we meditate. Where healing unfolds. Where we celebrate good food. Where you can let go.
A place to feel less alone. Real peace is here. This is a home, not a clinic. This is where you come back to belonging to yourself.
The Food
NOURISH & DELIGHT
Crafted from a lifelong passion, inspired by global flavours and the vibrant creativity of Ottolenghi.
Every dish is made from scratch using carefully sourced, exceptional local ingredients.
OVERNIGHT RETREATS
The Garden Flat
Your own private sanctuary. Separate entrance. An enclosed secret garden, full of flowers that feels like it’s been waiting just for you.
Inside, everything has been chosen with love. High thread count linens. Thick towels. A kitchen stocked with fresh artisan bread, real coffee, fruit and homemade treats because nourishment matters, even in the small things.
Light. Airy. Quietly beautiful. The kind of cosy that feels like being held.
After a day of stillness and healing, let yourself rest. Really rest.
And in the morning. Breakfast in the garden. Birdsong. A small cool breeze. The world becomes bright and smooth and your heart will be glad.
The Location
BOLTON-LE-SANDS
A village by the sea. Domesday Book old. Morecambe Bay stretching out with its vast sands and shifting tides. The Lancaster Canal winding through. Medieval church. Stone cottages. Timeless.
Sky in the west, a pinkish-gold light. The intense beauty of the English countryside, right outside the door.
30 minutes from the Lake District.
90 minutes from Manchester.
3 hours from London.
Close enough. Far enough.
SIMPLY WONDERFUL
“The flat was beautiful, the bed was so comfy, the Reiki was the best I’ve ever had. I could go on and on — but in short, the whole experience was the best ever. If you’re looking for somewhere to escape and just simply BE, I cannot recommend Janie highly enough.”
