*Testimonials*

"Beyond amazing! A wonderful escape from everyday life. I received a warm welcome and the cottage was lovely; clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated.

The classes were great; excellent instruction, loads of guidance, and new learning. Claire was a brilliant instructor for yogis of all levels. Adaptions were made for those of us with injuries and there was no judgment.

The food was fantastic and there was plenty of it! The gardens and countryside were beautiful. The saloon area was a lovely cozy place to meet, eat and relax. I will certainly be booking to come back. Keep up the good work - this is a gem of a place."

“I attended a retreat at The Quaives quite recently and I have to say that it was one of the most magical experiences I have had. The surroundings are beautifully nestled in the depths of the Kent countryside, you feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The classes and workshop are epically put together and so thoughtful, down to the the soft blankets , lines of candles and words that are breath taking. The food is scrummy and nourishing and there is plenty of it too! A retreat I will hopefully be booking for years to come. Thank you to The Quaives xoxoxo”
