One of the rooms is named 'The Womb' and is described as a 'celebration of womanhood' that is designed to make you feel 'swaddled' and contains a pink tadelakt shower that Charlotte likens to 'a very large and unusual-shaped vagina'.
The retreat also contains a Healing Room where guests can partake in movement, yoga, sound healing, and group work, as well as many gardens, a Potting Shed, Japanese Tea House and a Waterfall Shower.
The minimum stay is for three nights, and the most expensive room on site, The Forest Spirits, goes for a staggering £900 per person.

Charlotte writes that she fell in love with Rhydoldog House in November 2020, describing herself as 'obsessed, insatiable, like a lovesick teenager.'
She revealed she blew through her £500,000 budget, spending double that to restore the landmark building and filmed the process for new Really and Discovery+ series called Charlotte Church's Dream Build.
Charlotte confessed that she has 'spent her life savings' on the project, and was also given £300,000 by her parents towards the renovations.

Charlotte explained: 'It's a complete mess, there's so much work to do. If we don't open in June, I'm in a lot of trouble.'
Speaking to Metro this week, she insisted it wasn't a 'vanity project that I’m doing with a couple of extra million,' but ‘I’ve put my heart
