'What an amazing place, perfect for some 'me-time'. I felt safe and nurtured, physically and mentally. Your home is just perfect, loved the candle-lit bath! The cooking was just wonderful, and the massage, and yoga classes. Our talks were for me, inspirational - as was walking by the sea. I'll be back.

About Charlotte Wickins ICPKP EMBA
A professional holistic wellbeing practitioner, solo-mum (daughter now 25!) lover of the great outdoors, the sea, living an intuitive, balanced life.
A passion for cooking from scratch, tasty, nutritious food. I also love to help people slow down, listen-in, to feel better about themselves.
Lesser known facts:
- sailed from New Zealand to the UK - it took all my courage to face my fears.
- studied 1,200 hours Kinesiology, to help heal myself, my mother and be a better solo parent.
- created a Holistic Wellbeing Centre filled with practitioners, but my lack of boundaries, meant I burned-out in the process!
I always wanted somewhere nourishing, healing and inspirational to go to. To de-stress, relax, have some fun and recharge my batteries – now I have created it at home!

I needed to retreat due to relationship issues. I arrived crying and leave smiling and it's all down to Charlotte. Bless You! You offered time to talk, gave me a better understanding of how to handle difficult situations, and also space to be on my own. The room is very comfortable - you leave feeling that you now have another best friend in Charlotte.'

Let the Healing begin...
Charlottes retreat is absolutely wonderful. A complete 1 to 1 time for oneself, either totally alone or with company. Charlotte offers quiet support, safety and comfort, nourishment and love through the way she offers so many options of how to spend your time there. From holistic treatments to good food, an extremely comfortable bed, warmth, and a view with a chair to just die for. In fact, the chair is the perfect place to just sit, rejuvenate, recall, plan ahead, visualise, meditate, read, smile and cry. Definitely a space to relax, rewind and recover. Highly recommend.
Fiona (Ireland)
Beautiful location to rest, enjoy nature and quiet. Charlotte was fabulous - great communication, and joyful - she prepared lovely meals as well. Highly recommended.

From the car park - there is an even path leading up to front of the house, allowing for bags with wheels to be easily transported. The Guest Room is on the first floor up a flight of stairs. The bathroom is opposite the Guest Room. To make the most of the space, and the location, guests must be able to climb stairs easily.
The new duvet and pillows are made from recycled materials.
I support the circular economy so most furniture is either antique, second-hand, upcycled or recycled.
Organic food is used where possible and my waste composted.
Cleaning materials are chosen and considered 'clean' for their impact on the planet and sustainability.
There are no street lights here and the night skies are a spectacle on a clear night, we respect the wildlife and birdlife and expect you to respect them too.
The R&R Holistic Retreat (UK) is generally open all year round.
Guests are booked on a first come, first serve basis, and bookings are usually limited to 3 or 4 guests a month.
