January reset at our Scottish Castle Reformer Retreat
Following the success of this retreat in January 2023 we are again in Scotland at the luxurious 5* and exclusive Turin Castle in Forfar, Angus, Scotland. This three night retreat will challenge, inspire and deepen your Pilates practise or introduce you to the reformers & mat work if you've not had a go before. This weekend offers you the opportunity to stay at one of the most exclusive and private venues in the Scotland.
If you prefer something a little bit more bespoke, we can arrrange a private retreat. This is by request and can be arranged either side of 19-22 January.
Every detail of the weekend has been carefully considered to create a wellness retreat weekend unlike anything else in the UK.
Turin Castle is a 5* venue, near the small town of Forfar. Since 1659, the venue has been a haven, hidden from the rest of the world. You will find it hard not to sit back and relax in the opulence. This retreat venue will take your breath away. The luxury continues throughout the castle, with relaxed spaces for dining, drinking and curling up in front of the fire. Even in January it will be possible to have hot drinks and night caps in one of the two beautifully lit fire pit areas (one is covered).
This retreat brings together a unique combination of classical pilates on top of the range reformers in a 5* luxury venue. We’ve created a thoughtfully curated and well balanced schedule of daily movement practices, meditation, facial massage, wellness treatments, cooking workshops, plant based food, time to explore and experience Turin Castle and plenty of relaxation time!

What to ExpectOur retreat has been exclusively designed to ensure you experience Scotland at its very best. Turin Castle has all the modern luxuries you could ask for but still holds true to its period character. Every room has been tastefully appointed. All of the stunning en-suite bedrooms have views over the castle grounds and are light and spacious, with distinctive furniture and style influenced from worldwide travel. The six indoor reception rooms include the tartan lounge, the conservatory, dining room, music room, library, wine cellar, bar & games room - there are plenty of peaceful corners that you can find to unwind in.
NutritionNourishing, sustainably sourced and delicious plant based food is at the heart of this retreat and a relaxed and delicious food adventure is an integral part of the retreat * .Our wonderfully talented plant based cook, Nicola Bertram, will be creating three delicious meals per day using seasonal, wholesome and fresh ingredients, sourced from local suppliers and farmers. All food is homemade and made fresh on each day of the retreat.The seasonal menus will provide energising breakfasts, warming lunches and a divine two course evening meal. Fresh herbal teas will be available throughout the weekend with a selection of fresh fruit and healthy snacks. We will sample a cookery demonstration in the guests kitchen on Saturday and then get to enjoy the food created over lunch.* We can cater for any specific dietary requirements.
Little ExtrasThere are several outdoor firepit areas to enjoy evening drinks while looking back towards the castle. All guests receive a pair of wellies and a cashmere blanket for the weekend.
Both firepits are beautifully lit and one has a dome which creates a unique January space. We'll enjoy a hot chocolate, with a wee shot if preferred (weather pending).
