This place was just what I needed: a solo retreat location where I could be quietly alone and keep warm. Swami Madhuram was a wonderfully relaxed host and made sure I had everything I needed. It ticked every box for me. I would say that it's not the place for a holiday: you need to be sympathetic to the aims of the ashram and fit around them (for example, there is no access to the kitchen while a class is in progress). But if you're looking for a place for a solo retreat, this is perfect.
