With the modern-day professional pressure to always be ‘on’, it doesn’t leave much time for self reflection. Lisa Connell tells of how checking in to a weekend retreat helped her check back in with herself.
Creacon featured in ‘the best healthy breaks and holidays’.

“…My stay at the award-winning Creacon Wellness Retreat was one of the most magical experiences in my life. … My room was quaint, cozy, and deeply peaceful. No TV, no bright lights, no noise, and no distractions. For the first time in a long while, I slept like a baby.”
“The retreat specialises in relaxing yoga and meditative getaways — perfect for sceptical city types like ourselves… From the moment we stepped inside the lodge, we felt immediately welcomed and soothed.”

Day 2: After an absolutely silent night tucked up in our comfortable beds at Creacon, we both woke before our 7am alarm this morning feeling refreshed – how wonderful.
On arrival at Creacon, we were immediately impressed by the manicured grounds and the imposing façade of this country manor style premises.
On entering the little driveway, a cute Buddha welcomed me with a smile from the garden, and as I parked, my eye was drawn to a sign that said, ‘it’s a wonderful life.’ My usual frantic adrenalin immediately began to settle itself.
