A Gentle Game of Calm Intention
Tucked into a serene indoor space at Mike’s Forest Retreat, the darts board offers more than casual play—it offers presence. It’s not the noise or cheer of a pub setting you’ll find here, but something subtler: the soft pause before the throw, the silent arc of flight, the small sound of arrival.
This isn’t about pressure or performance—it’s about enjoying focus. Darts, at its best, becomes a meditation in movement, where concentration and rhythm matter more than competition. It’s an invitation to slow the pulse, centre the aim, and enjoy the quiet thrill of precision.
A Game with Time-Honoured Origins
Darts has a legacy stretching back to medieval England—born in taverns and trenches, refined in drawing rooms and parlours. It has always been a game of balance and tension, played not for applause but for the quiet satisfaction of hitting the mark.
At Mike’s Forest Retreat, that legacy is preserved not in formality, but in spirit. Here, the game is restored to what it has always been: a graceful challenge shared between companions, a space for conversation between throws, and a way to test focus without fanfare.

It’s the kind of environment that elevates even the smallest pastime. Whether you play alone to practise, or pair up for a quiet round with friends or family, the experience becomes one of pause, presence, and shared ease.
