Scottish Country House Retreat - March 2027

Join us in highland Perthshire for our inaugural knitting retreat. Accommodation is in Tulliemet House, a Georgian country house overlooking the Strathtay valley. Lovingly refurbished by the textile designer owner, pairing antique furniture with subtly luxurious modern touches and nods to the house's history.

This will be a chance to unwind and indulge in some time for yourself. Imagine taking a seat by an open fire, to spend the afternoon knitting away, with great company who share your passion for the craft. Maybe you'll ease away your cares in the restorative yoga class or brave the outside world to relax in the sauna in the historic walled gardens.

What's included:

• Lots of time to knit, chat around the fireside and enjoy our luxurious home for the week.
• All meals for the length of your stay cooked by our private chef plus home-baking for tea breaks.
• Accommodation in a historic Scottish country house that once welcomed Beatrix Potter
• Workshops on colour selection, and blocking & finishing.
• Chocolate making workshop where you'll make ganache truffles and passion fruit filled chocolates.
• Gentle yoga class with an experienced local teacher
• Art room with materials for sketchbooks & journalling (and guidance to get you started even if you think that you're not artistic)
• Wood-fired sauna session in the walled garden
• Pop-up shop with our favourite yarns, accessories and items dyed and crafted especially for the retreat.
• "Goodie bag" with exclusive and handmade items.
