Howgill Hills, Cumbria

A sanctuary where movement, words and nature meet

The Berry Collective brings together two existing ventures — Bloom with Berry and Berry Poetic — into one cohesive brand. A unique fusion of wellbeing experiences and poetic inspiration, woven together with movement, mindfulness, creativity and a deep connection to nature.

Set within the rolling beauty of the Howgill Fells at Howgills Hideaway glamping site, the business is grounded in an earthy, serene aesthetic and an ethos of personal growth, deep rest and seasonal connection.

The spaces

Where it all takes place

Nestled within the Howgill Fells at Howgills Hideaway — a secluded glamping site on a working farm with breathtaking 360-degree views.

Howgills Hideaway

A secluded glamping site on a working farm in the Howgill Fells. Most activities take place in Blossom Yurt, at the wood-fired Birch Sauna, or outdoors in the surrounding landscape. This is a wild, back-to-nature experience guided by the elements.

Blossom Yurt

A handcrafted wooden yurt, light-filled and circular, set overlooking the sweeping Howgill Fells. The central sanctuary for yoga, meditation, coaching, massage and creative workshops. The name reflects growth, unfolding potential and the beauty of becoming.

Birch Sauna

A wood-fired sauna paired with cold therapy — cold plunge and ice baths. Named for the birch tree, long associated with purification and new beginnings. Sessions are both deeply restorative and invigorating — a way to cleanse, release and renew.

The story

Rooted in the hills

The Berry Collective grew from two passions that were always asking to be held together: a deep love of wellbeing — of yoga, movement, massage and the healing ritual of heat — and an equally deep love of words.

Bloom with Berry came first, rooted in the belief that wellbeing shouldn't feel like a luxury or a discipline — it should feel like coming home. Yoga 1:1s in the yurt. Ayurvedic massage on a soft floor mat. Lithuanian sauna rituals woven with steam, birch and intention. Seasonal retreats shaped by the land itself.

Berry Poetic grew alongside, quietly — poems written on early morning walks across the fells, at the kitchen table, in the long quiet of winter. Nature-inspired, spiritually rooted, often a little wild.

Bringing them together felt inevitable. This is The Berry Collective: a sanctuary where movement, words and nature meet — a place to rest, renew and reconnect.

What we stand for

The values that root us

Connection

To self, to others, to nature. Every offering is designed to bring you closer — to your body, to the people around you and to the world outside the window.

Creativity

Expression through movement, words and ritual. Creativity isn't a talent — it's a way of paying attention. We make space for it in everything we do.

Sustainability

Mindful use of resources and eco-conscious choices run through the whole business — from the natural materials in the yurt to the seasonal herbs gathered respectfully from the land.

Empowerment

Fostering resilience and self-belief — gently, without force. This is a space where you are already enough, and every experience is designed to remind you of that.

Seasonal Living

Aligning with nature's rhythms rather than working against them. Rest in winter. Bloom in spring. We honour the wheel of the year in every event, every poem, every cup of tea.

Grounded Joy

Wellbeing isn't always serious. There's laughter in the sauna, silliness in the yoga, joy in the creative play. We hold the profound and the playful equally.

The brand promise

Rest, renew, reconnect

The Berry Collective offers a sanctuary where movement, words and nature meet — a place to rest, renew and reconnect, leaving with a nourished body, an inspired mind and an awakened spirit.
