I hope you are all well and have embraced the storms this weekend! Wow that was a wild one!
I’m thrilled to welcome you all and give an insight into our journey so far.
My name is Louise Monk and I am the owner and founder of Everything Retreat here in the heart of the Ribble Valley, Lancashire.
Firstly, a little about how all this came about….
I have been brought up and lived in Mellor all of my life; from my family farming nearby, to marrying my best friend Chris and raising our three, now adult children (and many animals!). Always a madhouse but we love it and wouldn’t change a thing!
So to add to all the madness… In 2018 I was out walking our dog Archie and whilst standing in one of the fields, I had a vision! I imagined stunning lodges nestled amongst the beautiful landscape looking out over the valley.
We are truly blessed to have some of the best views as far as the eye can see. Imagine being able to spend time amongst trees, sitting quietly with nature, to be able to press that reset button and escape for a while.
Fast forward all the design and planning and here we are… offering 12 luxury cedar lodges, already weathering into the hillside.
Six of the lodges are individually themed with inspiration being taken from my favourite places around the world, these form our Unique Collection.
The remaining six are designed to compliment the beautiful surroundings in which they sit, creating our Signature Collection. Take a look at our social media for a glimpse!
I absolutely cannot wait to test out each and every one. I simply don’t know where to start but as Africa is my favourite place, I think I might have to go with Itambe!
We have equipped the lodges for you to be able to hide away and wind down, but if you prefer a little more adventure there will also be a concierge service on site. Allow us to guide you through all that the Ribble Valley has to offer, from blissful walks to historical sites and on to some of the best restaurants around. We are so fortunate to live in foodie paradise here in the Ribble Valley.
I want our guests to be able to escape the hustle and bustle of life and relax by the log burner or have a soak in their private outdoor hot tub with a glass of their favourite tipple, in my case it has to be a crisp glass of champagne… or maybe two!
My amazing team are currently working very hard to get us up and running, I am so excited to be able to welcome you all this year to escape at Everything Retreat.
I hope you are all well and have embraced the storms this weekend! Wow that was a wild one!
