Thank you so much for providing the most wonderful space for our honeymoon. It was a privilege to be the "first"! Bless you both for your openness and hospitality. We look forward to seeing you again when we are three!

A safe, secure haven to bring demons to the surface, face them and let them go. With Derby's help in four days I've done what I've be trying to do for 50 years. Thank you, love to Peter, the kids also. They all played their part. see you all soon. My love,

Many thanks to you all for a truly relaxing and rewarding time - it was too short though! Imagine: taking a seed of Ashwhin planting it around the globe in every nook and cranny and watching it grow - ‘It isn’t hard to do’! See you all very soon, Much love

I came to honour the anniversary of a momentous week in my life and that of my late partner, Robert. It was a perfect place - no expectations of me, just warmth, welcome love from all. Thank you Derby, Peter and Furkids.

Derby thank you so much for healing, talking and most of all welcoming me into your tranquil space. I don’t want to go home! Ashwhin is the epitome of beauty, tranquillity, love and fun. It gives you space to develop and grow. I’m going home more relaxed and inspired than I can remember. Jessie and Andy our walks have been fantastic and the love - well just gorgeous. Thanks to the cats for their entertainment. See you all soon.

I came to close one chapter and start another, to take time to pause and reflect and to set myself up for the next phase in my journey. I have done all this and more. I have learned more in four days that I thought possible, my horizons are broadened, my spirit is strengthened and my soul re-connected. With much love and thanks.

I came depleted - through your loving, healing, caring friendship (and lots of talking)I go home feeling stronger than I have for a long time. Thank you so much Derby (and Peter of course) for everything and grateful thanks to those three inspiring canine companions who took me on walks to the waters edge and stayed with me when I needed cheering.

Breathtakingly beautiful, amazing place to be, that has reached me like no other. Just what I needed, just in time. “When the student is ready, the teacher will arrive”. Many thanks Derby, your wise presence, never intrusive nor elusive has set healing in motion. I believe that humans can heal!

I was a lonely traveller with no map, a sad pilgrim with no destination. Thank you for providing me with the tools I need! Companions, a compass and a specific destination/goal...self belief! I know our paths will stay connected!.
