Our Ethos

The Clover Mill team are committed to rejuvenating their guests physically, emotionally and spiritually by carrying out personally tailored treatment programmes based on the Ayurvedic principles of healthy diet, therapeutic massage, gentle yogic exercise and meditation in peaceful, natural surroundings. We hope guests leave feeling they have had a relaxing, inspirational experience, be de-stressed and totally revitalised.

The Clover Mill was developed to provide a luxury experience for those seeking to enhance their wellbeing through ayurveda, yoga and being in nature. Even the scientific community has accepted the psychological and physiological benefits of spending time in nature, and the consequent health improvements.

Ayurveda believes that in order to be kind to ourselves, we need to be kind to the environment and sustainable. The Clover Mill is dedicated to these principles and strives to have as low an impact as possible. We:

ave our own borehole which provides an alkaline spring water
Have a state of the art wood burning biomass boiler
Have heat recovery ventilation systems
Have an innovative low energy lighting system
Have low energy cooking appliances
Source sustainable products and organic food wherever possible preferably from the mill garden
Recycle as much as possible back into the garden through composting, the chickens and use of organic gardening methods

The principles of being kind to the environment and sustainable were also the philosophy of the Founder when restoring the Mill.

Retreats

At The Clover Mill, our aim is to rebalance your body, mind and spirit by nurturing you with Ayurvedic techniques, meals and gentle yoga whilst being be immersed in immune-boosting nature, surrounded by green fields and ancient hedgerows, soothed by running water and with views of the beautiful Malvern hills

We have highly experienced, dedicated Ayurveda therapists to tailor your daily treatments to support you on your journey where you will be nourished by a carefully designed menu of freshly prepared meals and herbal teas made with love, with ingredients from The Clover Mill wellbeing garden.

Staying at the mill gives you permission to relax, to put yourself first, to contemplate your life and who and how you are.

Accommodation

Staying in one of our contemporary, stylish eco-lodges set in the midst of rural idyll will truly allow you to be at one with yourself and nature. Ayurvedic Vastu, the ancient science of construction that ensures a harmonious balance between man and nature, inspired the spacious, vaulted ceiling, timber-clad design. Rooms are decorated in earth tones enhancing the sense of nurturing and harmony with the surroundings.

Feature windows open onto a private deck with lake views through the trees; reach your own secluded garden through doors from the bedroom and bathroom.

Hot water for bathing and heating flows underground from the wood pellet fed biomass boiler and healthy alkaline drinking water comes from the mill spring.

One of the six lodges has wheelchair access and facilities for disabled guests.

Our latest lodge has a double bedroom, lounge (with high quality sofa bed) and kitchenette and large walk in wet room shower. Being self-contained, this lodge is available for holiday lets in-between retreats.

The lodges are all stocked with Tridosha’s ayurvedic shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body moisturiser.

In 2019, we received a small grant from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. This contributed towards the project of building two new eco-lodges which allows us to expand the capacity of guests to stay at The Clover Mill.

If our eco-lodges are fully booked you may still be able to participate in our retreats by staying at a local B&B which we can arrange for you.

Dining

All meals are freshly prepared at The Clover Mill and include ingredients harvested from our orchards and vegetable garden. Unrefined sugar and wholemeal products are used and gluten free and vegan options are happily catered for. Your first meal will be tridoshic ie will suit all body types, but after your dosha type has been analysed, we will ensure that the meals are suitable for your body type and aims of your stay.

Generally, ayurvedic meals are vegetarian, cooked (not raw) and mildly spiced in order to be easily digested. Healthy doesn’t mean you will be starved, there is always healthy cake or a nibble available.
