Staying, doing herbal walks and facilitating a workshop was a great experience at Mount of Oaks.
The place is very peaceful and cosy, the food deliciously organic and local and the hosts are very friendly people.
I recommend it for those in need of a real immersion in nature.. no sound of cars anywhere near. Very peaceful.

...My time at the Mount of Oaks was truly special. No two days were the same, and what I got out of it is was a reflection of what I put in.
During my time I learnt about and practiced permaculture, sustainability and living in community.

These were not new concepts to me, but offered a real example of how they can be achieved in the most simplest of ways. Whilst I might not be able to replicate these teachings in their exact form in my own life, the core principles of simply living have become a part of my everyday ritual.

I would throughly recommend a visit, or a read of the blog to gain further understanding of the mission of the community. I look forward to one day returning to the land...

I had a wonderful time at the Mount of Oaks. I was here for a month, had I known how good it would be I would have asked the doctors to prescribe this as proper medicine!
