About us

In the heart of the Lake District, surrounded by 26 acres of breathtaking landscape and close to the calming waters of Ullswater, The Halcyon Club was created as an escape for high-performing professionals. Founded by Dominic and Kerry Doig – veterans of the business world with 25 years of experience running a successful chartered surveying practice, the club was born from their mission to combat the issues of stress, overwork, and disconnection that often accompany the fast-paced demands of modern business.

The Halcyon Club is a space where executives and leaders can step away from the relentless pressures of work, not just to relax, but to recharge – with purpose. Dominic and Kerry envisioned a retreat designed to inspire personal and professional growth, where individuals can reset, refocus, and gain the clarity needed to thrive in an “always-on” world.

At the core of The Halcyon Club is a holistic approach to resilience and high performance. Working with top psychologists, physiologists, nutritionists, and fitness coaches, we’ve built an environment where physical health, mental resilience, and balanced nutrition come together to fuel success. Our programmes are crafted to help you manage the pressures of leadership, maintain balance in the face of constant demands, and emerge stronger when challenges arise.

We are dedicated to helping you build the foundation for lasting resilience, sharpened focus, and renewed energy, ensuring that you’re equipped to handle both professional pressures and personal wellbeing with strength and confidence.

The power of this location goes beyond its natural beauty. When we first consulted with experts on site layout and infrastructure, their reactions mirrored our own: this place holds an unmistakable sense of calm that touches everyone who steps foot here.

From the moment you arrive at this hidden sanctuary, tucked away in a peaceful corner of the Lake District, you’ll feel an extraordinary connection to nature, no matter the season. It’s more than a place to escape, it’s a place where focus sharpens, creativity flourishes, and clarity emerges.

Conveniently located just a 20-minute drive from Penrith Train Station and Junction 40 of the M6, The Halcyon Club offers easy access from major cities including Manchester, London, and Birmingham. Whether you’re commuting for a strategic retreat or a restorative getaway, the journey to our idyllic haven is seamless.
