Charles and I feel honoured and extremely lucky to be part of this beautiful welcoming retreat. The food and accommodation and setting is simply first class, as is the tutor Karen Lane. We hope very much to be able to return here in the future from Australia.

The whole experience of teaching at Sweet Nothings has been fantastic! Nat and Lawrence are wonderful hosts, fabulous cooks and have created a home that is welcoming, tranquil and the perfect base for a creative retreat. I feel sad to be leaving but excited to be coming back next year and doing it all over again!

Natalie and Lawrence thank you so much for the excellent food and hospitality. A lovely environment to relax and unwind. A great place to hold a yoga retreat. We will certainly do our very best to spread the word and recommend you. Every good wish for your future life in France.

Wonderfully creative week with my pastel students! Thank you Nat and Lawrence for all your hard work and hospitality. There is so much thought and consideration that goes into everything you do and that is much appreciated. Lovely setting for landscape drawing and painting and Im sure the retreat will continue to develop and grow in the years to come! Great food, good company, see you next time!

We came here based on the utterly delightful page on Air bnb. What we found was so beyond the charm detailed in the pictures. The open-hearted generosity, kindness and joy that Natalie and Lawrence share with their guests turned our time here into a magical experience.

Thanks so much for a wonderful holiday. A proper “French” experience with great food and visits, lovely surroundings and good company. Will miss the evenings on the patio with rosé and chat! Loved Angie’s workshop – the creativity, encouragement and inspiration. Everyone’s been so generous.
