Broughton Sanctuary
Yorkshire
Broughton Hall could be mistaken for Downton Abbey: ancient tomes, heavy silk curtains and mahogany four-posters abound. The property, home to the Tempest Baronet family for over 900 years, is quite simply magnificent. But, it's not all just heritage splendour on the rugged moors. Alongside the storied main house sits Avalon, a cutting-edge wellness centre brimming with world-class practitioners. The brainchild of current custodian Roger Tempest, Avalon is as modern as Broughton is old, championing forest-bathing, reiki, fire ceremonies, drumming, yoga, and myriad other healing practices. You'll find short and long retreats held throughout the year, plus the option to customise a retreat for groups big or small, plus plenty of accommodation, including an off-grid shepherd's hut we very much fancy sleeping in. This wonderful spot, sitting pretty on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, is definitely one to watch.
