what makes this escape truly special
01 / your personal escape
During your escape to HeckfieldPlace, you will stay in a beautifully calm Friends room, shared with one other guest. Thoughtfully designed and quietly luxurious, these rooms offer generous space, comfort and elegance, the perfect place to rest, reset and switch off completely.
With just eight women in total, the experience will feel gorgeous and unhurried, balancing shared moments with time to yourself. It’s an invitation to step away from everyday demands and immerse yourself in two days of beauty, ease and understated luxury.
03 / your immersive experience
Your invigorating cold water immersion is an invitation to gently step outside your comfort zone in a safe, supportive and beautifully natural setting. The experience begins with a short warm-up, followed by a paced walk to the estate’s lower lake, where you’ll be guided through simple stretches, breathing practices and an introduction to the science behind cold exposure.
Fully supported throughout, you’ll have the option to take a dip at your own pace. The experience is designed to feel empowering and energising, offering clarity, resilience and a renewed sense of presence.
02 / Your natural movement
A gently guided woodland movement session on the estate will begin the journey, combining intuitive movement, fresh air and grounding practices. Set among trees and open space, this experience is designed to calm the nervous system and help you transition out of everyday pace.
Moving in nature offers a powerful way to arrive fully, feel grounded in your body and ease into the rhythm of the escape.
04 / your nourishing table
Seasonal dining at Hearth set within the beautifully restored Old Stables, is an integral part of your experience. Its relaxed, homely atmosphere and open-fire kitchen create a space that feels welcoming, generous and deeply grounded.
The food is shaped by what is growing on the estate and prepared with care over flame and fire. Dining is unhurried and quietly indulgent, supporting energy, connection and a sense of ease throughout the retreat.
05 / your restored balance
A guided recovery session combining supportive strength work and breathwork, focused on releasing tension and restoring balance. Slow, intentional and unhurried, the session encourages stability through the body while the breath softens and settles.
Designed to support recovery and integration, you’ll leave feeling lighter, more spacious and deeply at ease, with a renewed sense of calm and strength to carry home with you.
06 / Your Escape host
Hosted by NicolaEastwood, this retreat has been thoughtfully created for a small group of women who value feeling supported, seen and at ease. Every element of the experience is designed to calm the nervous system, restore energy and build strength in a way that feels sustainable, never pressured or overwhelming.
As a certified health coach and creator of the CALM Method, Nicola brings a grounded, intuitive approach to wellbeing, guiding the experience with warmth and care.
