Did you know St Marks Stays sits in the boundaries of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is part of one of the Dark Skies locations in the UK.

You can often see the stars fully at night and when the Aurora is strong, a camera will show the Northern Lights on the screen.

Happy Halloween Treats.
Chocolate dipped physalis are delish, but we do love a squash roasted with the skin still on for extra fibre as a dinner option.

New blog article on the website for you to share with anyone coming to stay in Sedbergh.

https://stmarksstays.co.uk/arriving-early-to-sedbergh/

If you prefer to arrive earlier to Sedbergh than you check in time for your holiday accommodation, this article gives you details on parking, things to do and places to eat & drink.

Worth passing on as the late afternoons get darker so people who would prefer to arrive earlier can do things in Sedbergh and not be far away from their accommodation for when they are allowed to check in.

Having reviewed the most common comments we came across recently at a show, we thought we would answer the top 3 for you this week :

"You live in a beautiful part of the country."

Well yes we are lucky enough to agree with you all there. Located between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, there are a lot of opportunities to be amongst stunning landscapes and surrounded by nature at its best.

When are you coming to stay?

Having reviewed the most common comments we came across recently at a show, we thought we would answer the top 3 for you this week :

"Is it a long journey to get there?"

So people in London and the greater area down south felt Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales were maybe too far away, but we do get retreats that book here from London.

There is a direct train from London to the area which is 3 hours and then a 20 minute taxi. We went on the train from here to London with all our exhibition materials for the yoga show and our own bags to give you an idea that it is possible to use public transport if you don't want to drive.

If you are wondering where we are, you can download a full set of directions from our website home page so you can work out for yourself how best others get here.

Having reviewed the most common comments we came across recently at a show, we thought we would answer the top 3 for you this week :

"What can we do on a retreat if it rains and we can't go out walking?"

Have a back up plan, shorter back up walk, or have at least some of your retreat activities that can still work if the rain arrives.

* Have a sauna session booked in and talk to us if you need to switch it to see if this is possible.
* Drive to Farfield Mill and spend a few hours visiting the exhibitions, art and cafe there.
* Plan a studio activity with a local artist.
* Sedbergh is a Book Town, so there are a lot of options to go and search the shops for new, secondhand and even free books to bring back and read in front of one of the log burning stoves back here.

Of course, it does rain and shine in Cumbria so have some flexibility in your plans and a great retreat is still possible.

Do you need to ditch some habits that are not really boosting your joy levels?

We all know we want less doom and gloom, but what actually takes up your time that you'd rather swap for something that makes your heart full and soul sing.

We have a winner!

So the first person that the picker wheel landed on, opted out and didn't want the books after all, so the lucky Samantha was the lady who won the books after a second spin of the wheel.

Thanks to everyone who entered the competition at the Om Yoga Show and enjoy your weekend x
