Rest and renew at Soar Mill Coves' Summer Wellness Retreat

Soar Mill Coves accommodation

Soar Mill Cove in South Devon is hosting its summer wellness retreat on Sunday 19th May, introducing systematic kinesiologist practitioner Ruth Derry to the event. The new element run by Ruth will allow guests to understand their health through understanding the body's communication. Guests will practice 'habits to create calm' to aid self-awareness and health empowerment through this natural and holistic approach.

The day begins with coffee and a chat followed by a team-building session. Focusing on strength and conditioning, Kat Wallace (a personal trainer and fitness instructor) will incorporate a fun and teamwork ethos into her session. After healthy refreshments, there will be a group walk exploring the cove and taking in the breathtaking scenery of this part of South Devon. A nourishing wellness-themed lunch is followed by kinesologist Ruth Derry who will lead a coaching session about healthy habits. Following this, light refreshments and some alone time will allow participants to stop and enjoy the views through the picture windows from the comfort of the hotel, and take time to absorb what they have learned from their coaching session.

The day concludes with a relaxing pilates wind-down session with Lara Christopher, a professional trainer whose mantra is 'where joy meets movement.' With all three experienced coaches guiding you through the day, you will end the retreat feeling refreshed, revived and rejuvenated whilst experiencing aspects of the Summer Retreat outside in the beautiful National Trust cove. The retreat is open to people of all abilities and ages, with the promise that new friendships will be forged, laughing and fun will be shared and participants will feel stronger, more energised and connected to their bodies and nature.

Set back from the sea in a valley, the hotel's location has a secret and exclusive feel, just a short walk from a hidden and secluded beach and the South West Coast Path, Soar Mill Cove Hotel offers one of the most idyllic spots for an unforgettable restorative retreat immersed in Devon's awe-inspiring scenery. Soar Mill Cove Hotel is renowned as a place for families, couples, and those who enjoy walking. It offers a Discovery Spa with Temple Spa treatments, a heated indoor salt-water pool, gym facilities, and a sauna. There's also a grass tennis court, a grassed play area for children, a games room, a wash-down area and a kitchenette for those who bring their dogs.

The hotel offers a range of sea-facing rooms featuring patio doors opening onto sun-soaked wooden decks with wicker loungers. There are family suites, rooms for couples, and two self-catering villas for larger groups. The main restaurant offers modern British cuisine with a focus on local seafood and meats. A smaller dog-friendly restaurant and a lounge with wicker swing seats provide additional dining options. The hotel's champagne bar caters to those with more spirited tastes.

Something old, something gone: The British wedding traditions on borrowed time

New Aspall research reveals the wedding traditions that are being dropped - from the bouquet toss and choreographed first dances, to the father-of-the-bride speech - and the modern alternatives taking their place. Speeches given only by men (36%), a choreographed first dance (34%) and the formal receiving line (30%) are among the wedding traditions that couples are keenest to ditch, a new study reveals. Wearing a veil, the 15-minute father-of-the-bride speech with no speech from the bride, and the traditional tiered fruit cake are also increasingly falling out of favour as Brits tie the knot, researchers found.

Something borrowed, something blue’ is out – but 1 in 4 Brits still value wedding cards

New research from Moonpig reveals the top wedding card writing confessions. A whopping 30% of Brits admit to defaulting to a safe "congratulations!" because they simply can't think of anything else to say. This is followed by recycling the same message for different couples (11%) and signing a card without knowing what your partner has written (8%). What's more, when stuck for words, one in 10 (8%) admit to turning to AI for inspiration - this rises to one in seven (14%) among 25–34-year-olds. Brits are not alone in facing this wedding card conundrum. More than half of Brits (55%) admit they have struggled with at least one aspect of wedding message writing. Nearly one in four find wedding cards (23%) or guest-book messages (24%) difficult, while one in five (20%) hit writer's block when preparing the all-important wedding speech.
