A private retreat venue in the heart of the Ribble Valley, created for wellness hosts who want to give their guests space to slow down, reconnect and enjoy their own peaceful corner of nature.
It’s ideal for yoga and breathwork retreats, women’s circles, sound baths, coaching sessions, mindfulness walks, seasonal ceremonies and other wellbeing experiences.
Little Oakhurst provides the space, accommodation and natural surroundings, so you can focus on creating a meaningful retreat for your guests.
This space is yours to make magical. You can take over the whole site for complete exclusivity, with views over Pendle Hill, private wood-fired hot tubs and accommodation crafted by hand on the farm.
It’s the kind of place where people arrive, pause, and instantly breathe out.
Perfect for retreat hosts looking for a peaceful glamping retreat venue in Lancashire, whether you’d like accommodation included or simply need a beautiful woodland space to bring your retreat to life.
Your Retreat, Your Way
Every retreat is different. Some need quiet mornings and gentle walks on the Tolkien Trail. Some need a cosy indoor space for workshops or journalling sessions. Others need space outdoors for breathwork circles, meditation, yoga or creative activities.
Little Oakhurst works beautifully for any host who wants:
-
A private setting away from distractions
-
Unique and comfortable accommodation
-
sustainable and ethical venue
-
A place that instantly feels welcoming and warm
Whether you are planning a wellbeing retreat, yoga day, coaching intensive, creative escape or a photography weekend, the site adapts to what you need. It’s an ideal countryside setting for Lancashire retreat hosts who want something peaceful and personal.
Accommodation for up to 10 Guests
The site sleeps up to ten people across five unique spaces, giving you flexibility for couples, friends or solo travellers. Each space has its own story, its own character and its own hot tub.
Mayflower sleeps two adults
Bluebell sleeps two adults
Ivy sleeps two adults
Fern sleeps two adults
Every hut and yurt has a private bathroom, an outdoor seating area and a wood fired hot tub. Everything has been built here on the farm using recycled and reclaimed materials, creating a cosy, homely feel that retreat guests love.
Hire the woodland space on its own
If you don’t need accommodation, you can also hire the woodland space on its own. This gives you a peaceful, natural setting for outdoor sessions, circles, ceremonies, mindfulness walks, breathwork, coaching or creative gatherings, while keeping the retreat experience simple and flexible.
Space for Connection and Calm
Your guests will have room to rest, reflect and reconnect. The site is set on a gentle hillside with views stretching across the Ribble Valley. Retreat hosts often use:
-
The glamping field for morning movement
-
Outdoor seating areas for breathwork, meditation or journalling
-
Individual hot tubs for evening wind downs
-
Local woodland and riverside paths for slow, mindful walks
-
Fire pits for cosy evenings and shared conversations
-
Our new woodland area, created especially for forest bathing and private hire, offering a peaceful, nature-immersive space for quiet sessions or group activities
There is no formal indoor studio space, which gives your retreat a very grounded and natural feel. Most hosts design their schedule around the land, letting nature lead the pace.
