Colourful, calm, and welcoming. The Enchanted Manor is a delightful Bed & Breakfast Retreat.||Originally, the plan was to stay at the Enchanted Manor for a week with my Mom. Soon after arriving, I decided to extend my stay for a second week! Although my Mom was headed off to her next destination, I knew that I wanted to continue taking in the healing that staying at the Manor made available.||First off, the location is lush! Being only a 10-minute walk away from the Ocean was special. After Peta showed us a few walking paths from the Manor, I made sure to go down to the Ocean and soak in the nature multiple times a day.||Other than the enchanted decor and cosy beds, the Manor also has an excellent selection of group gatherings and treatments. From facials and massages to healing sessions and ceremonies. I recommend asking to see the brochure for these when you book!||Over the course of my retreat, I had:|– A Fascia Release session with Steph, which was gentle, deep, and effective. So much so that I booked a second session with her for the following week, to get into the spots that needed more release.|– A ATMAT Womb Work session with Angie, which was a gentle yet profound belly and body massage. It is one of the most healing experiences I have had, massage-wise, around my womb space. Plus, at the end of my treatment, she gave me a step-by-step guide on how to practice the technique on myself in my everyday life.|– A Luxury Facial with Angie, which was serene and rejuvenating. I fully said to Angie that I felt so plump and radiant afterward. That "I felt like a juicy grape!" Haha. |– My Mom and I also took part in a Full Moon Ceremony with Peta, which was intentional, poignant, and full of meaning. I highly recommend any of Peta's gatherings and ceremonies as she is an excellent, intuitive, and uplifting guide.|– Also to be noted, during her stay, my Mom had the Ayurvedic message with Louise done twice, the ATMAT Womb Work with Angie done twice, and an Energy Alchemy Soul Session with Peta. All of which, she greatly valued and found to be remarkably cleansing and restorative. After her Energy Alchemy Soul Session with Peta she had a lightness to her, like big weights had been lifted off of her psychic load, she had a new quality of her sparkle back and that was special to see.||* I would like to highlight that given that all of these treatments and gatherings work in a sublet yet profound way, a lot of the healing takes time to be integrated. For that reason, whether you are staying for a much-needed brief retreat or a longer getaway, give yourself time and space to take in the healing you've gifted yourself. Drink plenty of water, take your time, and enjoy returning to a state of balance within. *||In addition to all of this, the vegetarian breakfast each morning was delicious. As I am a coeliac, the kitchen had no issues whatsoever in accommodating me with full and hearty gluten-free meals.||Overall, I would recommend the Enchanted Manor. It is quite easy to get to by ferry and car or taxi. It is a peaceful and...
Read moreWe stayed here over the Easter weekend and wow what an idyllic place and part of the island. It was very easy to get to and not too long a drive from Fishbourne. ||We arrived and parked in the car park with plenty of space to access the manor. We met Peta at the door and her aura was so calm and welcoming. She actually takes out time to greet and welcome you, she was very kind In explaining the Manor, services, rooms and local offerings. She took us on a delightful tour of the Manor and showed us our room which had a combined bathroom with a bath and shower. Unfortunately I was suffering from bad health and we enquired about changing our room and Peta was so kind in understanding and accommodating us. She offered us the enchantment room, which had a separate washroom and a lounge area. Wow, such luxury the rooms are spacious and in keeping with the enchantment atmosphere. There was an upgrade charge which I fully understood and was delighted to pay for them to accommodate our budget. The rooms are cleaned and topped up daily with filtered water and milk if needed. ||We had the pleasure of meeting Kevin, Alex the host who loves singing and Montana the delightful chef. This is a family owned recently purchased venture and will no doubt be improved and enhanced with the bright ideas that they have. Regrettably the property had been neglected by the previous owners not that one would be able to spot that. The name and themes are all in keeping with the Manor name. ||Peta was very well informed and a great calming personality she told us about the red squirrels and we were able to see several over our stay. The highlight was being able to see the badgers that would visit every evening around 8.30 each day. What a splendour to see up to three of them visiting in one day and enjoy the nuts that were put out for them. I have attached photos of the things that we enjoyed. There is a dvd room for those that are interested and a large breakfast room. I understand that they are thinking of offering meals in the near future, I am sure that they can only improve and expand the business into new offerings and I wish them...
Read moreA magical, healing retreat – more family than business||Our stay at The Enchanted Manor was simply incredible. This family-run retreat feels more family-centred than business-like, and that’s exactly what makes it so special. We came needing rest and healing — and left feeling lighter, restored, and inspired.||Peta and her family were warm, wise, and wonderful hosts. We enjoyed some truly meaningful, personal conversations that offered fresh ways to handle life’s stresses — as well as plenty of good laughs. Yet we were always left to our own space and could come and go as we pleased. We were attending the nearby festival, returning as late as 3am, and it was never an issue. The whole place remained peaceful and quiet, with guests naturally respectful of the tranquil atmosphere.||Breakfasts were delicious, relaxed, and made unforgettable by the sight of red squirrels feeding just outside the window. Our suite was spacious, with two bathrooms, a lounge, and the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in (confirmed by our sleep watches!).||Peta’s niece was a delight — encouraging us to try a wide range of teas and coffees at no extra charge — and Kevin was wonderful to chat with. Every guest was made to feel welcome, whether they preferred to keep to themselves or engage in heartfelt conversations. No one felt like “just another booking.”||Peta’s vision of creating something magical for guests has truly come to life. It’s a labour of love, and while it may not make the biggest profits in today’s economy, the joy, peace, and renewal it brings to people is priceless.||We’d return in a heartbeat — and we’d happily pay double for the level of soul-soothing care and beauty we experienced...
