Activities at Lonsdale Villa Retreat

Lonsdale Villa Retreat is a great place for those of you who just want a lazy day or as a relaxing mix of work and tranquillity. We have provided a number of activities that you can do in the house and the grounds and even just a walk around the surrounding area is a real treat. Within the house we pride ourselves in ensuring most rooms have a music facility, from an antique record player to top quality Hi-fi systems, so music connoisseurs can enjoy both digital and analogue playback. We even have a piano for those who enjoy tickling the ivories! A plethora of board games, books, and quiet places to relax, provide the perfect backdrop for gazing out at the magnificent views.

Stepping out into our gardens adds even more relaxation to your stay. In winter you can admire the snow-capped mountains in the distance and in the long summer days you are welcome to linger on the lawn for a game of croquet or boule or just take in the view with a good book.

Visiting training, development and social groups can take full advantage of the in-house activities for team building, ‘getting to know you’ events, and break out areas. It is not unusual to see our health and wellbeing visitors doing yoga on the lawn or our artist groups painting the beautiful views. The peace and quiet of the area, coupled with the beautiful gardens, make for a wonderful location for mindfulness and meditation activities and a fantastic natural backdrop of planning and strategy groups.
