The Vedanta, Branston, Lincolnshire

With 75 acres of woodlands, meadows and lakes surrounding this glorious Elizabethan stately home, The Vedanta is an idyllic location for a wellbeing retreat in the heart of the Lincolnshire countryside. It's also a fabulous place to celebrate a special occasion, host a wedding or organise a corporate event guaranteed to send delegates back to the office renewed and invigorated. This is a catered venue.

The Vedanta offers a great combination of luxury living spaces and spa facilities. The indoor swimming pool with fresco surround is an ambient place to unwind, followed by a sauna, hot tub or steam room experience. Start the day with a mindfulness session or breathing workshop in the Yoga and Meditation room, perhaps followed by a trip to the in-house gym for a cardio workout. The possibilities are endless.

A stay at The Vedanta is also all about the food. The mantra of Ahimsa is "compassion for all", borne out by the wide variety of vegan and vegetarian cuisine, brimming with taste and colour. The dining room is a lovely light and airy room for a relaxing and sociable evening meal, followed by some recreational time unwinding in the Pink Lounge or Blue Lounge - both beautifully designed with gorgeous velvet sofas and period features, perfect for a catch up or simply somewhere special to read a book. The games room comes fully equipped for well earned downtime at the end of a busy day.

Whether you are creating an intimate residential wedding at Vedanta or running a team building event, there are many picturesque outdoor spaces for photography or activities such as laser tag or bushcraft. We can put you in touch with providers. Or head out to the eco garden and help out with planting on in winter and harvesting in summer, or try out paddle boarding on the lake.

Accommodation is a combination of superkings and twins, elegant sanctuaries guaranteed to provide a transformative night's sleep. All have quality en suite facilities.

It's unlikely that you will want to leave The Vedanta once parked up, but Lincolnshire has some great walking trails to sample. Grantham and Lincoln are historic towns or, in spring, visit Easton to see the snowdrop display.
