Lucy Maresh

Lucy has been a holistic therapist and yoga teacher since 2005. She uses movement, relaxation, massage, and meditation to help people learn about themselves and make life easier. Her classes are grounded in traditional yoga philosophy and include a holistic balance of practices for body, mind and breath. She hopes to guide you home to your felt sense of what’s right and true, and your passion for a purposeful and intentional life.

We booked as a group of 3 friends, celebrating a special birthday, and from the moment we arrived we had the most amazing weekend! Comfortable accommodation, delicious food, great yoga classes and fabulous massages. Lucy made us feel so welcome and had thought of extra little touches, like delicious home made bread and a huge range of herbal teas. There’s plenty to see and do round about too so it was an ideal place as a base to explore. We’ll be back long before the next big birthday falls!

A wonderful find. I stayed here as part of a residential yoga retreat. Would highly recommend it. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Very friendly hosts. And the Yoga was wonderful. Lucy is clearly extremely experienced and knowledgeable and takes time to understand each individuals needs. I came away feeling relaxed and restored. Will definitely be back.
