I’m having a lovely time, now that it’s a little cooler, dancing around my kitchen and experimenting with meals for our Cortisol Reset Retreat (that’s a stress busting retreat, in case you’re not very familiar with cortisol!).

What you eat really matters, when you’re trying to regulate your cortisol curve, get your underlying stress under control and reset your circadian rhythm (so you actually get a solid chunk of sleep every night - , right?!).

This is a sideways take on Turkish eggs. No anger if you’re Turkish - I know this isn’t them, but it also wouldn’t be fair to pretend this had nothing to do with the original dish. Credit where it’s due, Turkey! This is Greek yogurt topped with fresh pesto, confit garlic, a swirl of tahini, an egg, celery seeds, black pepper, pea shoots and a trickle of home made basil oil. Served with a slice of our home made sourdough, I think it might make it onto the final menu…

It’s HEEEEEERRRRE! Our Stress Reset Retreat is LIVE to book on the link below.

If you’re tired but can’t sleep, snapping at the ones you love best then hating yourself for it or eating eff all but still not losing weight, we can help. Three nights of R&R, two and a half days of science-based workshops giving you an understanding of how stress develops, what it does and practical resources to regulate your cortisol and improve your sleep when you get home. All surrounded by meals designed to improve your state of mind, beautiful scenery and optional sea dips.

I’ve been following this programme for three months and I can personally vouch for the fact that it works.

Another lovely sunny day! I had a working lunch, reading through Diane Edmonds notes for the Stress Reset Retreat and fleshing out my own. This is no airy-fairy, woo-based fluff. We really want everyone to get actual results that they can take away with them and which will become part of their lives. One more teased bit of info - it’s 16-19 October, if you’d like to save the date.

Lovely review from our guests who left yesterday, but I’m not sharing it for the lovely things they said about us, but the lovely things they said about the rest of the people of Polperro. Cornwall often gets accused of being unwelcoming to visitors. I’ve never experienced that myself, and it is certainly not true of this particularly beautiful village. Don’t take it from me - take it from these completely unbiased people, who were strangers to us a week ago but who we now count among our friends.

You’ll probably have to click the photo to see the whole review.

Evening, all! Due to a VERY last minute cancellation, our lovely Hideaway is available from right now through to Sunday, checking out Monday morning.

Set up at the top of the garden, with its own private sun terrace and within earshot of its own waterfall, the Hideaway is a true hidden gem. Shown here with the optional extra bed pulled out, the Hideaway sleeps one to three people (two adults and a child). Parking and a glorious breakfast is included in the nightly rate of £145. And the weather down here is LUSH.

Drop us a line if you’d like some more info or to book in.

Cheers, all.

Drying some of the stunning rose petals from the garden for a relaxing rose petal tea for our Stress Reset Retreat in October. In conjunction with the brilliantly inspiring and knowledgeable Diane Edmonds of https://www.functionalyou.co.uk this is going to be a special three days. If you know me. You know I have been an insomniac for almost thirty years. With advice from this wizard, I’m sleeping better than I have in decades. Regularly. Predictably. Astonishing!

Keep an eye on the page for further details, or drop me a line to be first with the news. I genuinely can’t wait.
