Resort & Retreat Awards 2024 | 9 produce. And for those who prefer to din e ‘in-lodge’, Everything Retreat delivers breakfasts, afternoon teas and cheese and charcuterie boards direct to the door. Despite the initial scepticism of neighbours and residents in the are a, the project is a resounding success. With peace and tranquillity being the norm on -site, Everything Retreat enhances the local landscape, putting Ribble Valley tourism on the map for individuals, corporate clients and group wellness retreats. The company has already scooped several accolades including Ribble Valley Innovation in Tourism Award, Star in Tourism, New Business Award, Social Medi a Champion, and LUXlife’s ‘Most Idyllic Place to Stay in Lancashire.’ Currently, Louis e is also a finalist in the prestigious EVA Awards. Louise says, “Our original idea for self- catering lodges moved to a luxury concept very quickly. We want to work with clients to ensure every step of their journey is perfect. Our mantra is ‘everything and more’. We plan to become more and more detailed, offering bespoke packages for events such as private parties, baby shower s, babymoons, proposals and corporate events.” Although the company’s onsite bar and restaurant were not in the original plans, Everything Retreat puts them to good use. Recent events have included live music, garden games, pizza night and barbecues. The company welcomed a ladies’ business networking group, and car manufacturers Porsche and BMW have both hosted events at the site in the same week! Louise says, “We also welcome high net worth individuals and celebrities who appreciate the privacy that the gated retreat offers, they can relax in the knowledge that they can rest and recuperate in seclusion.” Future plans for Everything Retreat are about to get even more exciting. There’s planning permission in the pipeline to convert an existing stable block into a brand-new wellness area. Alongside this converting a house which borders the property is also on the agenda. Louise explains, “We’ve bought a five- bedroomed house adjacent to the existing development which we are renovating. It will have a private garden, a professional kitchen and a swim spa. When it’s ready we’ll host celebrity chef collaborations and private dinners for unique celebrations there.” Where Louise and the team are concerned there’s no shortage of ideas for driving the business forward. Everything Retreat is developing a guest app featuring booking information and guided walks. The company also has an eye on sustainability. In conjunction with the Woodland Trust and local contractors, the development will soon feature ponds, owl boxes, beehives, and a tree-planting initiative is about to go into action.
