A place to finally slow down.

Step out of the rush and into the quiet. A carefully chosen collection of countryside escapes designed to help you slow down, switch off, and move at a different pace.

Time away should feel different.

Not just a change of scenery, but a complete shift in pace. Mornings without urgency. Evenings that stretch a little longer. The physical and mental space to breathe, think, or simply do very little at all. Across each of our locations, the intention remains exactly the same: simple, considered stays, shaped entirely by the natural landscape around them.

Staying with us

Two huts. Two ways to switch off.

The Huts — Rutland

Countryside shepherd huts with outdoor bathing

Tucked into open landscape near Rutland Water, our huts offer a slower way to stay. Simple, comfortable spaces with wood-burning stoves, outdoor baths and wide, uninterrupted views. Designed for quiet mornings, fresh air and evenings by the fire.

Two different huts. The exact same feeling.

Relax With Us


Outdoor wellness area with hot tubs, sauna and relaxation loungers at KG Retreats.

The Rutland Sauna & Cold Plunge

Deep heat, bracing cold, and the quiet of the countryside.

Step into our sauna to completely thaw out, then brace yourself for the sharp, endorphin-flooding reset of the outdoor ice baths. Available for guests and day visitors alike—it’s a brilliantly simple way to clear your head and feel entirely put back together.
