Steve and his team offer guests luxurious comfort, delicious vegetarian food and great service in beautiful settings on the south coast of England.
On the brow of Seaford Head, East Sussex sits Florence House; kissed by sea air and surrounded by rolling wild landscape. The beautiful interior of the house itself, the abundant gardens, the proximity to the sea and the wildness of the Downs make Florence House ideal for my yoga retreats.
The house is set in 6 acres within an area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of the South Downs National Park and has views of Seaford Head and Seaford Head Golf Course. The beach is a 2 minute walk away.
Florence House offers rooms individually decorated to create a calm and simple space for you to enjoy a peaceful and quiet yoga weekend.
There is a choice of rooms from singles to triples based on your needs.
All the bedrooms have lovely scenic views either of the Downs or the Estate’s private gardens.

Every day you will be served nourishing, exquisite vegetarian meals three times a day (accommodations for special dietary requirements available on request).
