Are you ready for a getaway?

Although it is appreciated human comfort is a multifaceted concept and largely is subjective River Vista Retreat has taken this into account by addressing the scientific aspects of physical comfort in numerous ways: Temperature, lighting, and noise levels play a crucial role. Ideally, a comfortable environment is at a moderate temperature (around 20°C or 68-72°F), with soft, adjustable/ambient lighting and minimal noise. All three of these factors have been addressed according to the science by utilising the principles of Hygge (pronounced "hoo-gah" is a Danish concept that centers around creating a warm, cozy atmosphere) all within the serene and tranquil environment of the Lake District.

Practices like mindfulness, meditation, and deep breathing can enhance psychological comfort by reducing stress and promoting a sense of peace. River Vista Retreat is a great place for this whilst overlooking the river either indoors on the sofa in the bay window or outdoors in the landscaped grounds. Enjoy local countryside walks👣 with picturesque views of the river and surrounding woodland and outdoor adventures on the endless great cycle routes 🚴. Then relax at the 5* River Vista Retreat where the ergonomics have been addressed through proper seating and workspace arrangements that align with the body’s natural posture which can significantly enhance comfort.

When it comes to comfort one of the ultimate things is optimising sleep and River Vista Retreat have utilised the science of sleep. For example did you know that the temperature of your bedroom can impact the quality of your sleep? For a restful night, it's recommended to keep the room at around 16-18°C (64°F). A room that's too hot or too cold can disrupt your sleep patterns. That’s why at River Vista Retreat the heating is set according to the science (in conjunction with the owner of the apartment aspire4health.com) of optimising sleep. Combine this with high-quality bedding and soft textiles create a sense of physical comfort. So why not visit River Vista Retreat for a scientifically optimised sleep in a super king sized bed……. 💤
