Wild Rose Escapes

Come and join us at Wild Rose Escapes in Crochail woods for a day, weekend or even a week to sample one of our workshops, retreats or holidays. We offer traditional crafts, yoga classes, walks through the woodlands and outdoor cooking amongst many other activities. Our 100 acres of managed woodland sits on the edge of glen Affric with Loch Ness just around the corner providing stunning views across Strathglass. Our week long craft and relaxation retreats are residential which means guests stay in an exquisite local Highland house that has all modern luxuries such as underfloor heating and freestanding baths but still holds character from its original build. All meals provided will be made using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible so you can enjoy some true Highlands cuisine! Relaxation Retreats start each morning with yoga before embarking on lovely strolls throughout some truly beautiful landscapes – this is also accompanied by a craft day plus evenings full of music allowing plenty time to relax after your days adventures! For those interested in Craft Holidays Courses & Workshops we offer Fleece to Felt weeks where visitors learn about shearing demonstrations along side sorting/washing fleece then onto making natural dyes followed finally producing their own felted piece; not forgetting having time explore inspiring crofts too whilst being surrounded by Scotland’s wild landscape rich history! One-dayers/two-days courses based within both Natural dyeing & Felting using our Shetland sheep flock (plus other locals flocks) fleece are available too if you’re looking for something shorter term yet equally enjoyable experience.. Lastly Prehistoric cookery weekends teach guests how they used traditionally cook including building pit oven’s out earth/stone baking feasts inside them plus fire lighting pot boiling alongside wild food sourcing hot stone cooking bread baking butter making – ending off each night dining round Iron age style houses enjoying what was cooked earlier gives these events real authenticity . No matter which course holiday or workshop chosen The common thread running throughout it all is always outdoors: Yoga walking cookery OR Craft… nothing beats it!.
