We celebrated our wedding at Quaives in the summer of June 2023, and the wonderful team made it an experience we'll never forget. The day before, we got an early check-in and had time to relax at the beautiful estate. We then shared an amazing outdoor yoga and sound healing class with all our loved ones. The evening food platters were delicious and catered to everyone's needs, making it a perfect day before the wedding. The whole team was welcoming and accommodating. The venue is stunning and the people are fantastic, so I highly recommend Quaives for a special occasion or wellness retreat. Thank you for helping make our dream come true. We're so grateful x x x

The food was a real delight, healthy and delicious, and it was wonderful to see so much of it growing in the beautiful veg patch. I treasure my weekend retreat at The Quaives. Clare's energy felt open, heartfelt and genuine, and the whole break helped me relax, recharge and connect deeply with myself and others. The grounds were peaceful and surrounded by nature, with room to be alone or spend time with people. The yoga, rituals, relaxation, sound and ceremonies were all skilful and supportive, and helped me feel cared for and at ease. 🙏💗

Clare, the owner, was friendly and helpful to communicate with while I was arranging a healing retreat at The Quaives in Canterbury. The venue is beautiful, and my guests loved their experience. I'd definitely recommend it and will return for sure. 🙏🏼 🧘🏼♀️

Our wedding breakfast at Quaives in June was beyond perfect. The countryside retreat was a wonderful place for our reception, and we're so glad we held it there. The location and food were outstanding. Every guest has told me they'd never tasted olives and oysters that good! We loved how flexible and bespoke everything felt without being fussy, which suited us perfectly. We wish we could do the whole day again. Thank you so much.

I've been on a few retreats, and this one was easily my favourite. Clare and Sophia were both welcoming, with very different energies that worked beautifully together. The food was incredibly tasty and the surroundings lovely. I liked the balance of yoga, meditation, free time in nature and thought-provoking talks, which made it easier to take in what I learned through experience. I'd never been to a sisterhood gathering before, and it helped me connect more with my spirituality and inner feminine, something I can see I needed. I'd love to come back. Thank you :) x
