Ermana Natural Skincare
THE Retreat
PAUSE. NOURISH. MOVE. GLOW.
A few days to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself.
Join us at beautiful Lochwood House in Argyll for a restorative retreat designed to help you step away from the noise of everyday life and make space for yourself.
Think nourishing food, movement, skincare, wellbeing, nature, wild swimming, fireside chats and plenty of time simply to be.
No pressure. No perfection. No packed schedule.
Just a few days to press pause and feel good from the inside out.
Your home away from home
Nestled on the shores of Loch Goil, Lochwood House gives us the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect and enjoy some proper breathing space.
Surrounded by woodland, water and fresh Scottish air, the house is warm, welcoming and made for gathering together.
There are cosy communal spaces, a beautiful dining room, wood-burning stoves, loch views and plenty of places to curl up with a cuppa or simply enjoy the view.
Outside, there's the loch, woodland and space to explore, while the Wild Spa gives us the opportunity to properly switch off and reset.
This is somewhere to leave the busy-ness behind.
Everything you need to slow down and feel good.

A LITTLE MORE THAN A RETREAT
This isn't about becoming a 'better' version of yourself.
It's about taking a little time out from work, responsibilities, screens and everyday demands.
A chance to eat well, move your body, sleep deeply, laugh, chat, connect and spend time in nature.
There will be things to do — but there will also be permission to do absolutely nothing.
Come as you are.
Choose your own little corner of Lochwood.
We have a selection of beautiful king and twin rooms, with options for both private and shared occupancy.
If you're coming with a friend, you can request to share a room together.
Coming alone? You can choose a private room or opt for shared accommodation and we'll do our best to pair you with someone you'll feel comfortable with.

THE Retreat
Let customers speak for us
from 240 reviewsMy skin looks and feels amazing with the help of this balm
I have been using now for over a week and my skin is very soft to the touch
I love this toner, it smells divine and leaves my skin beautifully hydrated. It pairs perfectly with Revive face oil.
I love this cleansing oil as it feels luxurious going on and using the muslin cloth and some hot water to remove it is so easy, my skin feels soft and nourished afterwards instead of tight and dry as with most other cleansers I have tried. The ermana cleansing oil leaves my skin feeling cared for.
After being super impressed with other Ermana products I thought I'd try the deodorant too. I run every day and wasn't comfortable with constantly using a spray deodorant. This product took a few days to adapt to and I was a little sceptical if it would be good enough to use whilst running. However it's been great. I'm really enjoying using it and will definitely purchase again. I'm converted!
This oil feels incredible on my face. My face feels nourished & really hydyrated with this oil. I look forward to smelling this product on my palms before I apply. Brings a smile to my face. Another beautiful Ermana product that I’ll be using forever x
I love this product. I can’t believe how one spray can hydrate & nurture so much of my skin. It smells divine too. A beautiful uplifting scent. It’s like going to a spa. My skin feels like silk after using this beautiful oil. Thank you x
Gorgeous cleansing oil, so gentle, removes dirt and make up really effectively, leaving skin happy and nourished. I have sensitive and irritable skin and this works really well for me - also smells beautiful. Just like all Ermana products, it's magic!
Beautiful product to use, removes all traces of the day & leaves the skin feeling thoroughly cleansed & wonderfully nourished.
I have been using this cleanser since it was created, and anytime I use any other, I have been bitterly disappointed, smells divine, effective but gentle at the same time. Best used with a warm damp face cloth. I love the Ermana face cloths too as they very gently exfoliate whilst you cleanse.
This cleansing oil takes EVERYTHING off your face without stripping it of the good stuff.
When I use it on clients too during facial massage, it always gets an OOOOOOH.
Highly recommend and a bottle last about 3 months for me, so its saving money not buying other products that don't work as well.
Talk about keeping the carbon footprint down.
Using products lovingly made in Battlefield, Glasgow.
Anytime I use any other facial oil, or cleanser, I am bitterly disappointed.
I also am a stockist for Ermana and I love spreading the joy to other clients when they book in, that skincare doesn't have to cost a fortune and that locally made really is the best.
Knowing how fussy Ermana are about sourcing their procucts. It's a brand I also revisit time and time again.
This facial oil smells divine.
I put a couple of drops in my moisturiser during the day for a yoga skin glow, and I use as stand alone treatment at night.
I am a massage therapist offering deep tissue facial massage. I have been using the Ermana facial oils and cleansers on myself and also in my treatment rooms for the last 10 years I think.
I have never thought about ordering the mens oil before, and I am so glad I have!!! I have male clients visiting me who LOVE to get deep tissue work done into the jaw and cheeks if they grind their teeth. This really is a brilliant product and has helped clients who shave every day to reduce their breakouts and rash from shaving.
It also smells fantastic and lovely to use as a therapist.
This wee miracle pot of magic is so brilliant that I'm buying it for friends. It's a wonderful gift for a special occasion or just to pass on the love.
Fantastic event and great being able to try products before purchasing. Claire was very informative and helpful. I'd definitely recommend popping along to one of these events. I'm very happy with my purchases and will definitely be trying other products.
I love using my face oil morning & night. The smell is beautiful & the soft feeling on my skin is incredible. Others have been commenting on my glow recently ;) Thank you Ermana
