Diane Report post Posted February 26, 2009 My son has the opportunity to go to this wonderful place in Cornwall in June. 10 children and 5 teachers will be going. He is thinking about it. http://www.thefieldofdreams.co.uk/gallery.html My husband and I quite fancied it ourselves. Has anyone here ever been? Does anyone else here know of any quiet retreats in this country as our Son will not fly. Does anyone think a places to get a way from it all thread is a good idea?

baddad Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Looks beautiful I think i'd like to just retreat to the house and grounds, but personally all the new-age stuff (shamanism etc) would put me off. If that's the kind of stuff that floats your boat, though, it looks wonderful If you son decides to take the plunge i hope he really loves it. Tell him to bring me back a pastie! On second thoughts, looking at my ever-expanding waistband, perhaps i should settle for the mung bean casserole and optional gas-mask My retreat - a big lake; warm autumn day (so you get all the crossover colours in the trees and grass etc) or early spring (goslings!) and a leisurely walk or cycle ride along woodland paths. With an MP3 player... OR... There's a lovely little seaside town near(ish) to me where you can walk along a wallpath for a good few miles. On your left (going, obviously, it's on your right going back!) is a high grass bank littered with brightly painted beach huts and resting catamaran's waiting for the weekend. On the left is a lovely pebble beach at hig tide/mudbanks full of cockles and seabirds at low. Oh, and don't forget the MP3 player! L&P BD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pearl Report post Posted February 26, 2009 It looks lovely. My favourite part of the country, we had a lovely holiday in Penzance a few years back (apart from the 12 hour journey there - my friend got to Florida quicker!) JP, at the grand old age of 19, often says that he will retire there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I was thinking of idyllic retreats and remembered this place: HERE It's got nothing to do with the nakid nimffs - honestly - Years and years and years ago i went out and bought the album 'Dalis Car' on the strength of one track I heard on The Old Grey Bob Show, and this painting by Maxfield Parrish was the cover art. the album was a bit disappointing, but the cover art still knocks my sox off! So find a proper painting of your idyllic retreat - no photos - to add to the thread (a bit of kulcha!), but don't forget to reply to the OP's question as we don't want to hi-jack the thread. L&P BD Ooohhhhh... Taking this one stage further - i just u-tubed an found this! Edited February 27, 2009 by baddad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jannih Report post Posted February 27, 2009 For that price you could just as easily hire a cottage somewhere (with it's own pool) and enjoy some peace and quiet. It isn't very clear if those prices are per room or per person. According to the blurb it talks about "hiring the Field of Dreams," so does that mean a group of people can hire the whole place for a week at the price specified ?
