HOSTED FROM THE START

From First Conversation to Final Goodbye

Retreat guests raising their arms together in Ladyburn's gardens
  1. 01

    PLAN TOGETHER

    We get to know your group, your programme and how you want the retreat to feel, then work through the practical details around it.

  2. 02

    ARRIVE

    Rooms ready, spaces prepared, dietary requirements covered and everything agreed in place before your guests arrive.

  3. 03

    STAY IN YOUR ROLE

    While you lead, we work behind the scenes, coordinating food, resetting spaces and taking care of the details that keep the stay flowing.

  4. 04

    HEAD HOME

    Final breakfast, departures and the last practical details taken care of, so you can finish the retreat with your group rather than switching into logistics mode.

YOUR RETREAT, YOUR RHYTHM

A Retreat Might Unfold Like This

There is no prescribed Ladyburn programme. You bring the work and lead it in your own way. But this is one example of how the spaces, food and quieter moments at Ladyburn can fit around a retreat.

  1. DAY 1

    ARRIVE & GATHER

    Guests settle into their rooms, come together for the first time and ease into the retreat with an opening session, dinner and time to arrive properly.

  2. DAY 2

    INTO THE WORK

    Morning practice, your core sessions and time between them for food, treatments, walking or simply a little space.

  3. DAY 3

    DEEPEN

    With the group settled, there is room for longer sessions, smaller conversations or time outside, perhaps ending around the fire circle or shared table.

  4. DAY 4

    SPACE TO INTEGRATE

    The pace can soften. Treatments, nature, reflection and quieter group work give people time for what has emerged to settle.

  5. FINAL MORNING

    CLOSE WELL

    Breakfast, a final practice or closing circle and time for proper goodbyes before everyone heads home.

Illustrative only, not a set programme or a requirement to stay five days. Additional services are arranged separately.

RETREAT LIFE

IN THEIR WORDS

What Retreat Leaders Say

If you ever have the opportunity to visit Ladyburn House, whether through a retreat or another event, DO IT! The house itself is absolutely spectacular, but what truly makes it special are the wonderful people behind it. Every single person involved in running, maintaining, and caring for the house is genuinely amazing. Their warmth, kindness, and hospitality made our experience all the more memorable. We cannot recommend Ladyburn House highly enough and will absolutely be returning! ❤️

GETTING HERE

Easy to Reach. A World Away When You Arrive.

Ladyburn is in South Ayrshire, around an hour from Glasgow Airport and approximately five minutes by car from Maybole station.

For groups arriving from further afield, we can help coordinate airport transfers and local transport around your retreat.

Full travel guidance

Make Scotland Part of the Retreat

For groups who want to experience more of where they are staying, Ayrshire offers coastline, castles, woodland walks, traditional Scottish experiences and some of the country’s most peaceful countryside.

Ladyburn can help weave local experiences into the stay without turning the retreat into a sightseeing itinerary.
