Product Description
Body & Soul Escapes: Britain and Ireland is written by spa and retreat specialist Caroline Sylger Jones to complement her popular worldwide guide Body & Soul escapes. It's a winning combination of breaks and places to stay in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland for anyone in need of solace and rejuvenation, including men and women who just want time out to relax as well as spa aficionados, yoga enthusiasts, spiritual warriors and the restless who want to rethink careers or relationships. New for this book is a parent-friendly symbol (a teddy bear) so stressed parents can find solace too. You ll find over 250 hand-picked and honestly-reviewed escapes to suit all budgets and tastes, and interesting features on health and wellbeing, all nestled into an easy-to-read layout and complemented with stunning photography. Learn to meditate in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition perched above the Atlantic Ocean, get fit on a wellbeing holiday in the Yorkshire Dales, or glam-up and enjoy organic champagne at a luxurious bolt-hole in Wales. There are yoga retreats in Ireland, cookery breaks in Devon and remote island hideaways off Scotland s rugged coast. Find your own piece of rural tranquility where you can rest, reconsider, replenish and renew.

Format:Paperback
Hi Ordered this book as I had seen it in Smiths. Some fab ideas for weekends and weeks away - can't wait to try some of them! Don't even need to persuade a friend to come as a lot of ideas were suitable for single travellers.

Format:Paperback
Simply handling this delightful volume stirs a feel-good sensation and there's therapeutic value between its covers too. Browsing reveals the wide choice of UK wellbeing retreats on offer. You'll find imaginatively compiled pages generously illustrated with views, vistas, interiors and accommodation - all interspersed with useful, clear, handy location maps plus inspiring photographs of healthy lifestyles and the natural world ...... a bluebell wood, endearing piglets, cool waters.
It's clear the detailed accompanying text, written in a fluent descriptive style, has been thoroughly researched by its author. It was a joy to find boxes on how to eat seasonally and locally - I relished the thought of tempting dishes made from the freshest ingredients - shown, mouthwateringly, in colour. There are lots of other healthy tip boxes, full glossary plus a helpful subject index and (the icing on the cake, for me at least) a selection of thought-provoking literary quotations for quiet contemplation wherever you are.

Format:Paperback
A real gem of a book packed full of unusual and inspiring places to relax and rejuvinate. What a joy to discover Britain and Ireland have so much to offer - whether you're after detox retreats, pilates and yoga courses, fitness holidays, family escapes or luxury pampering breaks, this book is full of fantastic options - we really are spoilt for choice. Written with enthusiasm and passion in a very accesible style and accompanied by beautiful imagery, I have had great pleasure dipping in and out of this book. The format is great- bigger than pocket-sized, more handbag sized, a perfect commuter companion and a wonderful antedote to these cold winter days.
