An early start to the day with breakfast with the crew and our presenter, Alistair Appleton in our hotel in Cirencenster. They’re a nice bunch of people and obviously love what they do. They seem to like Nidhi and I, which is sweet and constantly tell us how natural we are. What is more impressive is they really like the concept of our holistic healing guest house idea, promising fervently to visit and ‘recharge’ their batteries.
Off in convoy to the 3rd location. We’re with Mariella in the car, our lovely ‘minder’, following the crew who left earlier. It’s a cool, grey day, pregnant with mist and water – lovely! Especially coming from Doha.
Through the Gloucestershire countryside, very hills and dales, we cross the Severn Bridge, the largest bridge in England and finally arrive at our secret destination. Much effort is made to ensure we don’t peek!
So we wait on a public footpath, by a small bridge, looking at the flowing river below. It’s beautiful here; we’re in a valley with undulating hills around us and water in front – very good feng shui! The house itself is a revelation. It’s a farm in Lyndney, with a main house with 5 bedrooms and a separate cottage style house with a further 5 bedrooms. It’s also got a separate large annexe perfect for a meditation centre. This is it, methinks, as we proceed to visit each room and the amazing kitchen where stairs lead to a separate dining room overlooking the kitchen and French doors to the garden. The farm has 14 acres! About 10 more than we actually need. Oh dear! It’s bound to reflect in the price which Nidhi and I have to guess at, on camera.
It’s an amazing place, perfect for our holistic healing guest house, a bit remote, but wonderful energy.
In the evening we go to the Wild Duck, a remote but charming traditional pub with knockout English food. HIGHLY recommended. Apparently Gordon Ramsey tried to buy them out, but they refused, good on them!!
