As The Everything Retreat launches this summer, founder and CEO Louise Monk will see her dream project unfold in the form of a luxury woodland lodge retreat featuring private hot tubs and beautiful gardens coupled with an exclusive concierge service, all surrounded by spectacular countryside in the heart of the Ribble Valley.
The Everything Retreat features 12 exclusive cedarwood lodges with each lodge offering stunning open plan living with log burners, comfy sofas, bespoke kitchens, sumptuous beds and crisp linen, along with full length glass windows with panoramic views overlooking the stunning Ribble Valley. Each lodge represents the ultimate in luxury and style where every detail has been considered, providing the perfect setting for a peaceful and quiet break away.
Guests will also be able to experience every luxury they could want via the in-house concierge service, with breakfast hampers, cheese boards, afternoon tea and dinner with champagne for guests and a chauffeur service for those wanting to eat out.
The development build is on schedule and The Everything Retreat will be ready to welcome guests this summer. Bookings will be accepted from May, with the website launching imminently. Bespoke interior designs have been conceptualised and furnishing is in progress, with each unique interior being finished to the most exquisite standard.
Landscaping is the next priority with the planting of trees and shrubs underway. The team are busy creating a haven for wildlife and beautifully themed garden areas for guests to enjoy. Attracting a diverse range of wildlife is close to the team’s heart with owl nesting boxes, hedgehog boxes and a large nature-filled pond all in progress.
Rest and relaxation begins upon arrival. Guests can simply park up and enjoy the welcoming reception area with complimentary drinks and homemade treats from local artisans. A golf buggy ride through the quiet seclusion of the countryside transports guests to their chosen lodge.
“The Everything Retreat has been designed for the ultimate experience for our guests,” says Louise. “I have taken inspiration from some of my favourite corners of the world and brought them all together to create this luxury development. The amount of hard work and planning we have been doing over the last six months is really beginning to take shape. I am delighted with the progress so far and I’m so lucky to have an incredible team with Kelly and Daniel on board and also the fantastic contractors and skilled tradesmen who have worked tirelessly to make this dream come true.”
Kelly Slater, The Everything Retreat’s Business Development Manager, adds: “I’m really excited to be working with Louise to help her realise her unique vision. There is so much going on at the moment with planning, designing and building and we are so lucky to have such an amazing team on site.”
Daniel Smith, Brand and Creative Director, explains: “I’m incredibly excited to be working on this project with Louise and her team. Being able to use my 10 years’ experience in hospitality and events to help bring Louise’s vision to life has been amazing and I am excited to show everyone the final product.”
This exciting development will allow discerning guests to immerse themselves in unique surroundings, enjoying the unbeatable combination of impeccable attention to detail of each lodge and the treasure trove of experiences the Ribble Valley has to offer.
The Everything Retreat team are now working on creating partnerships with key local businesses to build relationships and ultimately enhance their guest experience.
