A really lovely veggie supper; roasted aubergine with roasted halloumi, peppers & tomatoes. Served on cannellini bean hummus with pomegranate, coriander, spring onions & tahini dressing.

Simple, nutritious and delicious 😍

Cosy inside & out. On a chilly evening a firepit has a distinctly “hygge” feel. As we appproach the shortest day, fire has an increasingly magical feel.

Come & feel the magic here where we ❤️all things woodfired; fire pits, woodburning stoves, wood fired hot tubs and our woodfired oven.

Kevin’s 65th today! As ever, he won’t pose for the camera but here’s his lovely cake, made by great friend

Kev, as you know, is the backbone of life at Mill Cross Retreats, our very own fire starter, wheelbarrow pusher (rarely seen without it!) & all round superstar-as captured by Pascal in the cake decs.

Gotta ♥️ him Xx

Even though we ❤️❤️❤️ Devon & especially Dartmoor, sometimes we have to break out. Currently visiting my lovely Mum in law in The Lakes where it’s chilly but super clear.

We had a late afternoon walk on the edge of Morecambe Bay overlooking Chapel Island & it was really breathtakingly beautiful.

is always a great choice for a local walk but made even better today when we met Juno’s daughter Wren when we stopped for (an excellent) flat white

A beautiful morning & a joy to cuddle the lovely Wren ❤️
