From private hot tubs and fireside evenings to festive cocktail masterclasses and a luxury New Year’s celebration, this adults-only Lancashire hideaway offers a restorative winter escape
Tucked away in Mellor, in the heart of Lancashire’s Ribble Valley, Everything Retreat is embracing the festive season with a collection of winter experiences designed for those looking to slow down, switch off and celebrate in style.
The intimate, dog-friendly, adults-only retreat comprises 12 individually designed cedar lodges, each sleeping two adults, alongside the separate two-bedroom Primrose Cottage. Every lodge comes with a private outdoor hot tub, log burner, king-size bed and terrace, creating a cosy countryside sanctuary for winter stays. Guests can also enjoy dining at Balance Bar & Restaurant, restorative treatments in the Healing Hut and wellness walks through the surrounding countryside.
Accommodation is organised into three collections to suit different tastes, from the premium Unique Collection, offering enhanced privacy and beautiful Ribble Valley views, from £226 per night, to the contemporary, dog-friendly Signature Collection from £215 and the individually themed Sanctuary Collection from £199.
Throughout November and December, the retreat will host The Art of the Cocktail, a series of festive cocktail masterclasses taking place every Saturday from 7 November to 19 December. Priced at £75 per person, each experience includes a welcome cocktail and gourmet canapés, with guests invited to shake and stir their own seasonal creations. Those staying in December can also arrange a festive afternoon tea at Balance Bar & Restaurant.
For a more restorative approach to the season, winter wellness experiences include 60-minute massages in the Healing Hut (£85 per person), private Pilates sessions and countryside wellness walks. Afterwards, guests can retreat to the warmth of their lodge, settle beside the log burner or unwind in their private hot tub beneath the winter sky.
Stays of one night or more are available from 1–23 December, while the Days In-Between escapes, running from 27–30 December, offer an opportunity to recharge between Christmas and New Year. Digital gift vouchers, available from £50 to £1,000 and valid for 12 months, also provide a thoughtful festive gift.
For those wishing to welcome 2027 somewhere special, Everything Retreat’s three-night New Year’s package, A New Year, Beautifully Begun, starts from £1,599.99 for two people. The experience includes a luxury lodge with private hot tub and log burner, a welcome hamper, daily breakfast delivered to the lodge, a New Year’s Eve welcome cocktail, five-course tasting menu and live singer, followed by a traditional New Year’s Day roast. Pizza or small plates are served on Saturday evening. A two-night package is also available from £1,249 for two, including breakfast, New Year’s Eve dining and live entertainment.
Balance Bar & Restaurant will remain open from 27 December to 3 January, including New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, allowing guests to enjoy the celebrations without leaving the retreat.
For those seeking a festive break that combines countryside tranquillity, thoughtful indulgence and the freedom to do as much or as little as they please, Everything Retreat offers a welcome alternative to the traditional Christmas rush.
