A Retreat Space in Scotland for Connection, Community and Creativity

Chariclo is a holistic event space and a unique farmhouse homestay offering workshops and retreats throughout the seasons. We provide indoor and outdoor event spaces for hire, a curated calendar of monthly community events, and a fully equipped modern farmhouse for restful and restorative holiday breaks. Nestled on farmland outside of Gartocharn, Chariclo is surrounded by majestic mountains with views overlooking Loch Lomond National Park and beyond. Come for one workshop, a weekend or a full week of exploring and immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes, finding time to pause, breathe and just be. 

This peaceful, welcoming and nurturing space is for open-hearted souls to come together in community, learn from one another, and reconnect with nature. We offer retreats and workshops that support natural healing, spiritual growth, and nurture the creative flow within each of us. Chariclo is constantly evolving with the people who visit, as we inspire one another and share our unique skills, wisdom and creative ideas.

Creative Connection |
art making in nature

Join us for Creative Connection, our monthly nature-based art-making workshop. 

This creative workshop is an opportunity to pause, slow down, and connect as we observe our surroundings and engage in a creative practice.

This session is open to all, especially those who feel they are ‘not artists’. No prior experience is required; you are invited to play, experiment, and explore your natural surroundings. Our focus is on the process, and not the outcome.


“CHARICLO FARMHOUSE exceeded our expectations. It’s warm, cozy, and peaceful, a perfect atmosphere to relax. The view from the living room is simply breathtaking and adds a special charm to the whole experience.”
