Coorie Retreat

15-18 October 2026

  • A house covered in vines with autumn foliage, surrounded by trees and a grassy lawn, set against a mountain in the background.

    our venue

    Inshriach House is the perfect place to escape from reality and retreat inwards. Built in 1906, the house is still just as grand and maintains all of it’s Edwardian charm.

    Unwind and stoke your inner fire. Go barefoot on the lawn, get lost in a book, and slow right down. Allow your ears to ring with silence amongst the trees. Make yourself at home and coorie doon.

  • A gravel dirt road running through a forest of pine trees with mountains in the background under a cloudy sky.

    location

    Hidden in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, Inshriach Estate unfolds across 200 acres of ancient woodland and open pasture, gently held between the River Spey to the north the quiet embrace of Inshriach Forest to the south.

    Just one hour from Inverness airport, 15 mins from Aviemore train station and 3 hours north of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

  • Close-up of a person's hand resting on their knee, with the focus on the hand and fingers, wearing a bracelet.

    yoga

    Each morning and evening, you’re welcomed into the cosy barn for nourishing yoga practices by the gentle crackle of the open fire and the glow of candlelight.

    As the crisp October air lingers outside, you are invited to soften and unwind. These practices offer a sense of comfort and quiet connection — a safe, soothing space to land, breathe, and feel completely at ease during our time together.

  • A small wooden cabin with a porch, surrounded by autumn trees, with logs stacked on the porch and the interior softly lit visible through a glass door.

    woodland sauna

    Nestled among the trees on the banks of the River Spey, the beautiful loghouse sauna awaits… A wee hideaway tucked into nature. It’s the perfect place to thaw out after a refreshing dook in the river, leaving you glowing, relaxed, and deeply nourished.

  • A scenic landscape photo of a hillside covered with trees in autumn colors, with a mountain in the background partially obscured by mist and a clear sky overhead.

    forest bathing

    Let the healing energy of the forest revive you as you are guided through a forest bathing session by our wonderful retreat assistant, Katie Taylor.

    Forest bathing is a slow walk through nature with some sensory exercises along the way, allowing our body and mind to slow down and breathe in the forest air. The benefits can include reduced stress, reduced blood pressure and improved memory & concentration.

Imagine this…

Waking gently to the hush of an October morning, you listen as the forest stirs outside — mist hanging low over mountains, and wind whistling over the river. The world feels quieter now, sleepier. Autumn has arrived.

Begin the day with mindful movement to bring ease into the body, followed by a warming cup of tea and a nourishing seasonal brunch.

Spend the afternoon wandering woodland paths dappled in golden light and carpeted in copper leaves. Maybe take a revitalising dook in the crystalline waters of the River Spey before warming up in the sauna. Later, curl up by the fire with a book and doze off as you please - no expectations, chores or deadlines await you. Dinner is served, and your belly and heart are both full with gratitude.

As darkness falls, gather for restorative yoga by candlelight, then coorie doon by the fire for heartfelt conversations, glowing embers, and toasted s’mores.

Each day on retreat is thoughtfully curated to honour the turning of the year — from forest bathing and seasonal foraging to intentional yoga practices and cold water immersion — offering space to rest, reflect, and reconnect as autumn deepens around you.

A two-story house with a beige exterior, multiple white-framed windows, and a covered porch with white columns. The roof has moss and lichen, and there are three chimneys. The house is surrounded by trees and garden plants, with outdoor furniture and a grill on the porch.
A cozy living room with a beige armchair decorated with fluffy pillows, a leather armchair, a side table with a gold ornate lamp, and a wooden bookshelf filled with books and decorative items.
Three Highland cattle with long horns standing on frosty grass in front of a leafless fall trees and a pink and orange sky.
