Most Somerset retreats cluster around Glastonbury, where the Abbey, the Tor and Chalice Well draw a steady run of women’s and spiritual retreats. The rest are scattered: a reading retreat at Oakhill, a yoga and swimming weekend near Frome, a hot tub weekend at Minehead and a New Year goals weekend in a Bath townhouse.
Each entry gives the dates, the price per person and the cancellation terms published on the booking page in November 2026. Check what the price covers before comparing, because the Glastonbury retreats range from “no meals” to three meals a day, and one sells a place with no accommodation at all.

Retreats in and around Glastonbury
Goddess Reset and Reconnect, 2-4 April 2027
A women-only weekend hosted by Katie in Glastonbury. The listing covers daily meditation and yoga classes, workshops and free excursions to sites of interest. No meals are provided, so budget for food in town. You get a private double bedroom with a shared bathroom. From £375 (an early-bird price of £360 is shown), rated 4.93 from 18 reviews.
The £74 deposit is refunded in full up to 60 days before the start, and half at 30 to 59 days. The listing shows free cancellation until 1 February 2027.
Best for the lowest price among the Glastonbury retreats. Less good for anyone who wants meals included.
Yoga and Mythical Lore, 8-11 April 2027
Emma’s four-day retreat is the only mixed-group Glastonbury option here. It includes three meals a day, daily meditation, yoga and pranayama classes, nature hikes with a guide, and a visit to Glastonbury Abbey and the White Spring. In good weather the group climbs Glastonbury Tor and lights a ceremonial fire in the garden at night. From £595 in a shared room with a bathroom, or £745 for a private room with a bathroom. Rated 4.83 from only 4 reviews.
The £129 deposit is refunded in full up to 60 days before the start, and half at 30 to 59 days. The listing says a bus runs from Bristol airport to the town centre, and the nearest train station is Castle Cary.
Best for a first visit to Glastonbury with meals and classes in the price. Less good for anyone who wants a long track record, given the four reviews.
Journey to the Sacred of You, 16-22 May 2027
Amanda’s seven-day women’s retreat is a guided tour of the sacred sites as much as a retreat. The listing includes private tours of Avebury, Stonehenge and Glastonbury, a hike and dip in the White Spring Temple waters, a ritual at Chalice Well, a Goddess Temple visit, breakfast and lunch daily plus an opening night dinner, and transport to the excursions. Rooms run from a shared room in a three-bedroom cottage at £1,721 to a large private room with an en-suite bathroom at £2,358. Rated 4.77 from 3 reviews.
A 25% deposit is non-refundable. Payments beyond the deposit are refundable if you cancel by 16 January 2027, and the listing offers 72-hour free cancellation after booking.
Best for a week that is part pilgrimage, part holiday. Less good for a tight budget, and the three reviews are a thin guide.
The Sacred Goddess of Avalon, 15-22 May 2027
Aruna leads this eight-day shamanic women’s retreat. The listing includes daily meditation classes, excursions, a personal soul singing session and follow-up support from BookRetreats. Food is not included. A place costs £1,854 without accommodation, or £2,697 with a private room in the Stone House. Rated 5.0 from 8 reviews.
The £278 deposit is refunded in full up to 90 days before the start and half at 60 to 89 days. The listing shows free cancellation until 14 February 2027.
Best for women who want a long, ritual-led week. Less good for a short trip, and the price excludes meals.
Reading, swimming and quiet in the Somerset countryside
Pink Moon and Snow(drop) Moon at Oakhill
Amanda and Rob Miles run two seasonal four-day retreats at Oakhill. The Pink Moon Reading Retreat runs 16-19 April 2027. The Snow(drop) Moon runs 19-22 February 2027, timed to coincide with the Shepton Snowdrop Festival. Both are built around books, not yoga. The price covers three nights in a private room or shepherd’s hut, three meals a day, shared wood-fired sauna sessions, swimming in spring-fed ponds, guided nature hikes and a library to browse. Both include a celebratory supper with a guest author. Both start at £895 and share a rating of 4.93 from 55 reviews.
The £138 deposit is refunded in full up to 60 days before the start, and half at 30 to 59 days. The listing says Castle Cary, Frome and Bath Spa are the nearest stations, and a bus stop a minute’s walk away connects with Bath.
Best for readers who want quiet, a sauna and a swim. Less good for anyone expecting yoga classes.

Exmoor and the coast

Three nights in shared accommodation (The Old Sweet Shop or Pilgrim Corner) with exclusive use of a hot tub. The price includes breakfast and brunch items from a local farm shop, a welcome afternoon tea, a one-hour treatment, a breathwork workshop on managing stress and sleep, and a Pilates session for two on a reformer if you choose. From £725, rated 4.9 from 2 reviews.

The listing offers 72-hour free cancellation, with the deposit refunded in full 60 or more days before the start.

Three of the Glastonbury retreats: Goddess Reset and Reconnect, Journey to the Sacred of You, and The Sacred Goddess of Avalon. The others in this guide take mixed groups.
How do I get to a Glastonbury retreat without a car?
The listings point to Castle Cary as the nearest train station, with a bus from Bristol airport to the town centre. Check each listing for its own directions.

It varies. The Oakhill, Frome and Mythical Lore retreats include three meals a day. The Goddess Reset and Sacred Goddess of Avalon retreats do not include food, and the Minehead weekend lists breakfast items and afternoon tea only.
