THE weekend yoga retreat

GREEN FARM, KENT

What: Just over 10 minutes by taxi from Ashford Station and you’re in a rural idyll that channels The Holiday, only with more downward dogs and less Jude Law. A 600-year-old farmhouse on charmingly named Duck Lane sets the scene. Inside, guests stay in spacious, beamed bedrooms, dine on organic veggie dishes from the farm’s community wildlife garden and curl up on comfy sofas next to an enormous fireplace. Yoga sessions take place in the converted, glass-fronted barn and the retreat also includes a 55-minute treatment in the boutique Espa spa (don’t mind if we do), countryside hikes and a nutrition workshop. If that wasn’t enough to get you booking, there are hot tubs to laze in, bikes to ride, gardening to muck in with and art classes to sign up for. Expect to return home feeling nurtured, nourished and wanting a pet – the owners’ dogs are part of the welcome committee.
