"So much thought has gone into making us feel welcome."


Eco Retreats
is run by Michael and ChaNan Bonser.  Michael has spent years living in tipis in Wales and Spain. He loves the simplicity and the beauty of canvas on inspiring structures and is passionate about the Great Outdoors.

ChaNan spent her youth training at the top end of the hospitality industry in London. This experience, combined with the passion she carries about all things eco, gives an uncompromising line of quality of which we are proud.

Together we love our business and are in awe of the wonderful land the Eco Retreats site occupies.  We aim to ensure you have a fantastic stay with top quality service from the moment of enquiry, in the knowledge that we are doing our best to keep both your and our impact to a minimum.

Our Team We are supported by a fantastic team of cleaners, healers, meditators and friends.  We take the time to build up the team spirit and everyone is committed to the principles of minimum impact and a sustainable way of life.

At Eco Retreats
we offer you the opportunity to really escape from the hurly-burly of modern life and enjoy the beauty of nature in comfortable surroundings. Wherever possible we use products in tune with the environment, from our locally made tipis to the organic produce in the welcome hampers.
