Welcome
A haven of peace and tranquillity
Welcome to Dalherrick Farm Retreat, a haven of peace and tranquillity set in beautiful rolling Aberdeenshire countryside.
A place to escape the stresses and strains of life, reconnect with the ancient soul of the land, with nature and with yourself. A place to slow down, rest and recharge.
We offer unique, private and supportive residential retreats, and half and full day retreats for a top up of ‘me’ time.
Retreats at Dalherrick Farm
Half and full days run through the winter. The residential retreat runs on selected weeks from May to October.
Day Retreats

What the retreat does
Letting go of tension and quietening the mind chatter lets your mind rest, recover and recharge, allowing space for expansive thought and fresh perspectives.
Our four-night retreat will take you on a journey of relaxation, release and renewal through gentle activities that allow you time and space to find your calm and peaceful self that can be too easily buried by day-to-day living.
We visit ancient sites and take short walks to connect with the natural world. Complementary therapies, garden bathing and a sound bath aid relaxation and release, while gentle meditation and T’ai Chi encourage mindfulness and focus.

Our philosophy
Meditation in everyday life
The retreat draws on our own lived experience of using meditation as a tool, not to escape the stresses and strains of every day life, but to better deal with them.
While the three days offer a break from day to day life, we know in reality it can be difficult to find time for regular meditation. With this in mind, we hope to show how a fairly simple routine and even short meditations can help ease the way.
A gentle approach
Our retreat doesn’t demand that you rise with the sun to do yoga or spend hours in meditation. The activities are gentle and unrushed, and our guided meditations are suitable for both beginners and more experienced practitioners. It’s a life we live ourselves.
Our aim is to recreate and build on the mind space that a relaxing break can produce, and to help you take that calmness and clarity forwards into everyday life.
The place
Accommodation is in the beautifully appointed, self-contained first floor apartment of Dalherrick Farm house, with private guest garden and hot tub. Guests are also welcome to explore the environmentally managed grounds of the property and to use the peaceful summerhouse with its panoramic views across the wildlife pond to the hills beyond.
