Our patch of Earth, doing a good thing
Welcome to Louma, where memories are made.
Now open for bookings from this September.
We’re so pleased that you’ve found our 100 acre farm and retreat, nestled in West Dorset. Here we focus on what really matters, the simple things.
This is a place where we listen and care about how you want to make it your own, because here, you matter. Some of our favourite childhood memories have been recreated so that other families can enjoy them – milking cows, collecting hens’ eggs, communal meals on the terrace lasting late into the night. You can come with a group of friends, family, with colleagues, or on your own. You can ride the horses, do wine tasting, swim, practice yoga, eat home cooked meals from our vegetable garden or learn about the vital role bees play in our world.
Be yourself, by yourself, or with those you love. We have activities for all, and the space to welcome everyone.
Louma is a place that’s full of warm and happy memories, and one we love returning to. Once you’ve visited us, we hope you’ll feel the same way.
We look forward to welcoming you,
Louis & Emma
Our Pillars
Louma has been carefully built around three key pillars that we believe allow you to Be Well. These are Eat Well, Move Well, Think Well. We have carefully curated spaces of activity and exploration within our 100 acres to allow you to simply do these three things – as much or as a little as you want. Louma’s constellation celebrates how these three pillars coexist but, when brought together, create a one of a kind constellation that can only be seen and felt on Louma’s home land.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” ― Mary Oliver
Things to Do
Our seasonal calendar encourages you to become immersed in the daily bustle of farm-life through daily tours. Wine tasting, cooking classes and seasonal dinners allow you to taste the land, whilst our spa treatments, gym, horse riding, and yoga classes help ease the tensions your body may hold and there are many magical spaces to enjoy reflective peace and mindfulness. Our Play Area, Forest School and Arts & Crafts Bus promise fun for all!
