Riding Mill is a quiet corner of Northumberland where rural landscape meets water. The Orchard Retreat is a one-bedroom cabin sleeping four, designed to echo the upturned fishing boats once used along this coast. It sits privately on its own gravelled ground with decking at the front, where a firepit and BBQ overlook the lake.
Inside is a proper double bed that can be curtained off from the living area, which holds a sofa bed for additional guests. The kitchenette has what you need to cook—hob, oven, fridge, kettle, toaster—and there's a dining table. An en-suite shower room, electric heating, smart TV with DVD player and Wi-Fi complete the setup. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included. No smoking inside.
The location suits people who want to be away from bustle but not isolated; a pub is within a mile. Bird guides and stargazing maps are provided, and there's a children's play area on site. Check in is after 4pm, checkout before 10am.

I was fortunate enough to encounter a full day at The Retreat. On arrival I was impressed at how aesthetically pleasing and well equipped it was, not to mention friendly and welcoming. One bespoke PT session was enough to finish me off, so I moved to the stunning spa area to recover. Between the sauna and pool I didn’t stay in one place for long, finding myself wanting to explore and really make the most of the incredible facilities. A truly unique and satisfying experience, would recommend.

I was lucky enough to spend a weekend at the Retreat and couldn't recommend it more. Katherine and Martin provided us with amazing advice, training, food and encouragement. The facilities are incredible and I wish I could have stayed longer! The Retreat is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their fitness, learn more about a healthy lifestyle or to just escape from the stress of everyday life and chill!

I spent a weekend at the Retreat for group triathlon training. Our training plan had been thoroughly thought through by the Retreat team before we arrived, from targeted S&C to training drills in each sport to chill-out time, this met the needs of everyone in the group. Real Honest Food also provided nutrition that suited all our requirements and was delicious. We were all so well looked after the entire time and got so much out of the weekend - in both inside and outside sessions - I highly recommend the group stays as working as a team is really motivating and fun. The Retreat team are extremely supportive and friendly which made both days incredibly enjoyable.

Absolute mindful experience, from start to finish, me and my partner booked half a day at the Retreat and what a pleasant and welcoming experience it was. We conducted a PT session which really helped us understand the true meaning of what a satisfying workout consists of, we felt utterly refreshed which played in well with the spa, such amazing modern facilities. We were welcomed by the business owner (Kathy) who went completely put her way to make us feel welcome and apart of something special (which indeed it is) PT Martin really had a good grasp of where to pitch the PT content... he made myself and my partner feel extremely invested. Go book now... it will not disappoint. Views in this fabulous area are beyond scenic to the naked eye it really i will certainly be “RE” visiting again to “TREAT” myself.
