SCOTTISH BORDERS ❄️ 22-24 JANUARY 2027
A winter weekend
January is a hard month. It's dark, it's long, and by the third weekend most of us are running on empty.
So we've put something good right in the middle of it. Two nights at a quirky Victorian house in the Scottish borders : a sauna in the garden, a morning dip in Eyemouth harbour if you fancy it, yoga by candlelight, and proper dinners that take all evening.
Oh, and the most stunning lounge and bar area to chill, read a book, have a chat or maybe a cheeky cocktail or two.
A winter weekend of sauna, sea dips, and good comfort food — in the most beautiful house in the Scottish Borders.
The best thing in your January diary.
This retreat is for you if:
You know exactly how January usually goes, and you'd quite like this one to be different
Every year you tell yourself you'll plan something just for you… and every year the diary fills up before you get the chance
You're the one who makes everything happen for everyone else
You're craving something that's part rest and part adventure. A blanket and a good book and a bracing winter sea dip

What to expect
Here’s what your winter weekend looks like:
2 nights of cosiness in a stunningly beautiful Victorian mansion - exclusively ours for the weekend
Daily yoga, movement & meditation: slow, warming practices for dark mornings and candlelit evenings
Sauna & cold plunge in the garden - to help reset your nervous system (and makes you feel incredible)
Morning sea dips in Eyemouth harbour - we’ll do it together! With hot coffee waiting
Proper comfort food - hearty and delicious. And made lovingly with local, seasonal produce.
Deep sofas, blankets & time to do nothing - read, nap, chat, properly rest.
Optional 1:1 coaching - if you want quiet space to think about the year ahead, we're here for a chat.
You’ll leave with:
✔️ Proper rest — slow living, and the kind of deep sleep that follows cold water and warm food
✔️ A clearer head — it's amazing what two days without a to-do list can do
✔️ The quiet satisfaction of the sea dip — you got in the North Sea in January. It’s a win!
✔️ Energy for the rest of winter — You’ll be so glad you booked this mid-winter break

Your home for the weekend
Netherbyres House
This isn't just any venue. It's one of the most beautiful house we've ever seen.
A grand Victorian mansion on the edge of Eyemouth, lovingly refurbished with a twist: bold colours, eclectic furniture, and pattern everywhere you look. Think country house meets art house. Every room has personality, and the whole place is exclusively ours for the weekend.
Mornings start with a (very) refreshing dip in the harbour, ten minutes away. Afternoons spent between the barrel sauna, the cold plunge, and the nearest cosy corner. Evenings are candlelight, deep sofas, good wine and even better company.
It's such a beautiful house. You won’t want to leave!
Oh, and it's easy to get to: just an hour from Edinburgh, around 90 minutes from Newcastle, and under two hours from Glasgow

FAQs

Absolutely not. Everything on this retreat is optional. But if you want to give it a go, keep it short, and know that there are hot drinks waiting! And you’ll feel incredible afterwards.
-
No, it’s open to everyone. Bring your sister, mum, partner, husband, bff.
-
Not at all. You don’t need to be super flexible or super experienced! Our yoga is gentle, grounding, and designed to help you feel better - not to perform. You can go at your own pace, or skip a session if that’s what you need.
-
You’ll have plenty of time to rest, recharge, and switch off - but there’s also things to do and explore if that’s what you’d like.
-
Yes - lots of people do! You’ll be warmly welcomed, and there’s a lovely balance between group connection and solo time. Whether you’re craving deep chats or just want to be left alone with a book, you’ll have the space for both.
