Nutritionist, author and chef Daphne Lambert has been running Penrhos Court with her husband Martin Griffiths for 25 years. Fundamental to the philosophy of Penrhos is the use of organic produce. Penrhos was the first restaurant to be awarded the Soil Association Organic Symbol.

The hotel is run by the organic ethos emphasising the importance of a lifestyle that incorporates seasonal, local, community based production with care for the environment and all things that within it.

High standards in the kitchen are carried through to the hotel. All linen and bath towels are 100% organic cotton, every complimentary gift is sourced from environmentally aware companies such as Neal’s Yard and Duchy Originals and all cleaning and laundering products are eco-friendly.

Daphne also runs Green Cuisine food and health courses www.greencuisine.org and has co-written several wonderful recipe books including the Organic Baby and Toddler Cookbook.

Testimonials

If you are a new Mum or a second or third time Mum, be kind to yourself and book a Mamaheaven retreat. The first time I went, I was so exhausted I was just grateful for the creche so that I could have some time to myself. Actually, I really enjoyed the yoga and came away so energised that I began to think that it wasn't just more sleep I needed but more yoga. I went on a second retreat because I wanted someone to look after me for the weekend. It is my idea of a perfect weekend: delicious and healthy food, an amazing massage, loving ladies to look after me and my baby and morning yoga to get me going, all in a beautiful countryside setting. I came away feeling very loved and nurtured as a mother. It certainly made me feel happier and more loving towards my family when I got home.  Samantha Walker
