The minimum age is 18. If you are over 65 years of age, have a medical condition or pregnant we require your GP’s certificate of consent. Also, if our diet and exercise regime is likely to be a drastic change to your habits we strongly encourage you to consult your GP prior to booking a retreat.

Please note we do not operate as a medical facility.

Our shared rooms (both standard and en-suite) are for same sex guests and shared with one other person. The standard rooms have shared bathroom facilities perfectly adequate for the number of guests sharing.

We do not offer refunds but provided at least 3 weeks notice is given, we will endeavour to reschedule your booking, subject to availability and an administrative fee of £100 per person.

Force Majeure: In the unlikely event of extreme weather conditions preventing Slimmeria from running a retreat, we will reschedule your retreat at a mutually convenient date within 12 months. We recommend you arrange your own travel insurance.

Please note that any retreats booked on a special offer (i.e. no refunds, no cancellations, etc.) cannot be rescheduled once confirmed.

Most people do not feel hungry as they keep themselves busy throughout the day. Water is also available any time of day. It is wonderful not to overeat!

We follow a set detox menu and only specific allergies and intolerances will be dealt with. We only stock raw detox food, which facilitates rapid weight loss and proper detoxification of body and mind. We do not cater for individual tastes as we are not a restaurant. Please note a charge might apply in cases with numerous allergies.

We advise to keep all un-prescribed supplements for your new regimen at home. However, you should continue with your prescribed medication.

You may feel lightheaded, have a headache, etc., or experience some other perfectly normal detox side effects. You will eat a clean, healthy diet and drink plenty of water, which can only benefit you.

We will provide you with a list and pre-detox recommendations.

No.

Yes, we have WiFi in the house and you can use your phones/laptops in your room ONLY as we do not tolerate phones in the guest areas or during the walks as we like our guests to relax. Please note we have to respect other guests especially if you are sharing a room. We do recommend you keep it to a minimum to detox your mind as well as your body.

We have a fitness studio and equipment, however, this is for the set fitness classes. We feel the classes we offer along with our detox are more than enough for your energy levels on this particular diet plan.

We recommend you attend as many activities as possible to achieve the greatest weight loss and detox results.

In the afternoons we offer unaccompanied walks but this is also an opportunity to book additional spa treatments or relax.

As an example, you can bring a favourite pillow/blanket. Otherwise we hope with all the fresh air and exercise you will be ready for sleep. We do not recommend anyone having afternoon naps. Do bring a book or relaxing music to listen to in your room with your headphones.

We provide a bath towel and a hand towel along with a hand soap. We do not provide shampoo/conditioner/shower gel etc or dressing gowns.

There is no change of linen/towels for guests staying up to 7 days. We do have towel rails to use to dry towels.

Rooms on first and second floors are accessed by stairs only. These include:
Twin en-suite rooms – top floor
Double bed en-suite rooms (including Boutique Four Poster Suite) – either on the first or second floors.
Standard rooms (with shared bathroom facilities) and a Garden Suite are on the ground floor.

Please note there is no lift.

You can’t book spa in advance but you will be provided with the spa menu upon arrival at the retreat.

We have an outdoor unheated pool at Hye House in East Sussex, which is open during the summer months, usually May-September, dependant on weather.

These are optional but if you have them and it’s convenient to pack them, they can be useful.

We walk for approximately 2-3 hours per day and the walks range from 4-8 miles.

We always have groups that are of mixed abilities and we all work as a team. If our accompanied walks are too difficult we can offer alternative walks if required.

We advise our guests to weigh themselves at the end of their stay and not to bring scales with them as well as focus more on fitness and detox.
