We're always listening to our guests here at Serenity Retreat and are mindful of one of the central tenets of how we live and work: Notice and Adjust. (We notice if something doesn't feel as though it's working as well as it once did and we adjust accordingly, if possible - we relate this to every part of our life).
One of the common themes recently has been that guests would rather drop into a class than to commit to a full week's course while they're on holiday - less commitment, more choice. Very sensible too, we think. With that in mind, we've organised some fabulous classes and one to one opportunities.
We're VERY excited about this and about how we are bringing business to those whose home is on the island and offering something fresh and new to our guests.
You'll be able to book onto these classes and one to ones at the Welcome Lunch on Monday afternoon. Minimum numbers will be required for groups to go ahead.

We're especially happy about these changes as some of you have been coming for well over ten years and it's nice to offer something new to you loyal lot! We're also hopeful that first-time guests will love the variety and we really hope there's something in there for just about everyone.
