The Importance of Slowing Down, Switching Off, and Nurturing our Minds as much as our bodies

As world Mental Health Day approaches on the 10th October, we’re reminded of the importance of slowing down, switching off, and nurturing our minds as much as our bodies.

At Willow Pastures Country Park, we believe that one of the best ways to do that is by embracing an “unplugged getaway”,  a break from the constant buzz of phones, emails, and notifications.

And where better to do that than soaking in your own private hot tub, surrounded by the peaceful Yorkshire countryside?

You Don’t Need Signal to Feel Connected

It’s often in the quiet moments (away from screens and schedules) that we reconnect with the things that matter most:
🧠 Ourselves
💬 Each other
🌿 Nature

A hot tub holiday gives you the space and setting to simply be. No pressure. No plans. Just warm bubbles, open skies, and time to exhale.

Whether you’re escaping for a romantic break, a solo recharge, or a mindful retreat with friends, here’s how our hot tub lodges support your mental wellbeing:

🛁 Deep Relaxation

Soaking in warm water soothes tired muscles, eases tension, and promotes a sense of calm. It’s a natural stress-reliever that helps your body and mind unwind. Atomic Spa also offers this – treat yourself to a luxury treatment or massage to have the most relaxing & truly unforgettable experience.

🌳Time in Nature 

Set in the heart of peaceful East Yorkshire, Willow Pastures is a world away from the noise of daily life. Fresh air, birdsong, and open skies have been shown to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

📵Digital Detox

Our lodges invite you to disconnect from devices and reconnect with what truly matters. Read a book, enjoy real conversation, or simply watch the sunset from your luxury deck.

💤Better Sleep

Escaping work, screens, and urban noise allows your nervous system to relax. Lower cortisol levels (stress hormone) can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

This Mental Health Day, Give Yourself Permission to Pause

This Mental Health Awareness Day, we’re encouraging everyone to prioritise wellbeing. Not through grand gestures, but through small, meaningful choices, like taking a break. Saying no to the noise. Choosing peace.

A holiday at Willow Pastures  isn’t just a treat, it’s a reset button. A chance to step away from the hustle and return feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.

Book Your Unplugged Getaway

If you’re ready to press pause, our luxury lodges are waiting. With pet-friendly options, woodland walks on your doorstep, and a private hot tub in every lodge, it’s the perfect place to nurture your mental health, not just on October 10th, but all year round.
