“As someone who's traveled all over the world, I can honestly say that this is one of the best trips I've ever been on. The way that Jaime has designed the whole experience is an absolute dream. You're walking through the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, staying in the most charming inns and villages that are straight out of a storybook, and all the while having the chance to slow down, listen, and truly reconnect with yourself. Magical doesn't even begin to describe it! I felt like a kid again without a care in the world.”

“The Autumn Cotswold’s Walking Retreat, hosted by Jaime, was outstanding in every way. Any trepidation I felt upon embarking on this unique adventure melted away as I experienced the thoughtfully organized schedule and carefully curated accommodations.

As the days passed and our group slowly walked from village to village I was struck again and again by the outstanding beauty that surrounded us. Each place we stayed was charming and cozy and the food was fresh and delicious. I loved seeing the positive and respectful relationships that Jaime had built with individual proprietors and establishments. I felt safe and well cared for. It was a truly restful experience. 

I want to especially point out the special blend of talents and skills Jaime brings to this trip. Jaime is organized but not overbearing, she leads calmly and confidently with a large dose of good humor! There were a myriad of details to coordinate and Jaime did this with grace, especially when there were unforeseen bumps in the plan or slight delays. As she led our group of eleven women, she modeled to us how to lead patiently and unhurriedly. I have so much appreciation and respect for her! 

10/10 would recommend!”

“I was the fortunate recipient of being given this walking retreat as a gift. I had not been to the UK and had always dreamed of going. This was a perfect first experience.

Jaime had all the details arranged, which made for the most relaxing stress-free time. The perfect boutique hotels were above average and ready to pamper after a day of exploring the English countryside.

The predetermined trails, amongst hundreds of optional routes, were always just the right length. The daily walk provided stunning fields, flowers, and architecture. The pre-chosen pubs and restaurants provided all the options you could want from traditional to eclectic food and drink choices. There was always time to explore the local town we were staying in.

Jaime paid attention to all the details, right down to where we would take our rest stops. This included local orchards and ancient churches where she had printed and provided the most beautiful colour Hymnal booklets for those who wanted to experience the beauty of a hymn in such a sacred space.

It was clear that there was a lot of care and time taken in the planning of every aspect of the trip. Come on this walking retreat expecting to have your expectations fulfilled. If you are looking to reflect, commune with nature, appreciate the countryside, eat great food, meet future friends and be rejuvenated then you will not be disappointed.”

“For me the experience through the Cotswolds was a much needed escape from the demands and routines of daily life. A reset for my mind, body, and soul. I was awakened to so much wonder and beauty!

I definitely fell in love with the English countryside! Slowing down from the normal pace of life allowed me to have time and space to think and be fully present each day.

I enjoyed the reprieve from daily decision making and was able to fully trust in Jaime's travel expertise.

She did a superb job curating every detail of the trip; it was all carefully thought out and planned. From the lodging to the restaurants and every detail in between. Jaime did a great job preparing us before the trip with what to pack/expect on our journey.

Even a year later, I still feel I am gleaning from my experience in the Cotswolds. This trip provided nourishing food for the body and soul. 

I will definitely be joining Jaime on another trip in the future. Jaime excels in her communication, organization, and planning skills. She is attentive to all the details!"

“One of my best decisions was joining Jaime on her ladies walking tour through the Cotswolds.  I had the joy of doing the walk with one of my daughters - a great way to spend some time together.

So much fun and laughter, new friendships, great fellowship, healthy fresh air, invigorating but well-paced exercise, peaceful pastoral landscapes, timeless historical sights, beautiful picturesque villages, great meals - all this and more.

As the “oldie” of the group, I can attest to the “doability” of these walks! Jaime’s passion for the creative beauty in the world around us is contagious and encouraging. This trip will always be a very special memory for me!”

“This was the most amazing trip. I had a chance to reconnect with myself, make new friends, and see the most beautiful countryside.  I grew as a person and have taken all of the peace I found on this trip into my daily life at home and work.  Jaime is the most wonderful host.  If you have the chance to do this trip seize the moment!  I am so glad I did!”

“This trip was truly a once in a lifetime experience. My favourite memories were singing hymns in the old churches, and marvelling at the diverse countryside. The weather was perfect, the food was delicious, and the company was lovely and entertaining. I will forever remember the view from the Stanton House with sheep grazing and perfect sunlight. 

If you have the opportunity to attend this walk with Jaime, don’t let it pass you by.”
