Tucked into the peaceful hills of Teviothead near Hawick, The Wisp Retreat offers a gentle, non-structured space for self-led getaways. Unlike rigid, expensive commercial spas, our retreat is built on simplicity, shared kitchen culture, and affordable community living. Your time here is completely your own. Rest in our private cabins or en-suite double rooms, use our infrared sauna, gym, and crystal sound bowl meditation space, or walk the local trails. To keep restorative breaks genuinely inclusive, our flat-rate pricing is fully all-inclusive of your accommodation and wholesome communally cooked meals and drinks.
Easily accessible with the X95 bus stopping right outside our door.
The Wisp Retreat is set within a historic building on a rural, sloping hillside. While we warmly welcome everyone, the natural topography and structural layout of the site present genuine physical challenges for wheelchair users or individuals with limited mobility. Steps, uneven outdoor terrain, and gravel pathways are required to access our cabins, rooms, and communal areas. We are fully committed to making reasonable adjustments wherever possible. If you have any specific mobility or physical needs, we strongly encourage you to contact Alison and Eddie directly before booking. We will gladly discuss the exact layout of the spaces to help you determine if the retreat environment will be safe and comfortable for your stay.
We view sustainability as an active, evolving project and have clear ambitions to move completely off-grid. Currently, our crystal-clear water is sourced directly on-site from our own borehole. We are also actively upgrading our infrastructure by installing energy-efficient heat pumps alongside solar panels and battery backup storage to power the retreat responsibly. Our commitment to low-impact living extends directly to our kitchen. We serve a fully vegetarian menu, chosen specifically for its low environmental impact and universal appeal. By sharing wholesome, home-cooked plant-based meals in a communal setting, we significantly reduce our footprint while keeping our retreats inclusive, nourishing, and gentle on the planet.
We welcome guests for retreats throughout the entire year, offering structured check-in windows for both our weekend and midweek retreats. Our pricing is genuinely all-inclusive, with zero hidden upcharges. Your flat rate covers your private accommodation, access to all on-site facilities, and all of your home-cooked vegetarian meals:
Weekend Personal Retreat (Friday 2:00 PM to Sunday 11:00 AM): £150 all-inclusive.
Midweek Personal Retreat (Monday 2:00 PM to Friday 11:00 AM): £250 all-inclusive.
Whether you are booking a short weekend reset or a longer midweek stay to focus, rest, or create, our doors are open. Advance booking via our website is essential to secure your space.
The Wisp Retreat is tucked into the peaceful, rolling hills of Teviothead near Hawick, right in the heart of the scenic Scottish Borders. Our setting offers a perfect rural escape with quiet hillside walking and fresh country air, making it an ideal space to disconnect from modern noise. While we offer a tranquil, off-grid feel, we are highly accessible from both Edinburgh, Glasgow and Northern England. For those traveling without a car, the X95 bus route, running from Edinburgh to Carlisle stops directly outside.
