Recently converted and restored, this truly stunning estate manages to maintain the grandeur of a true manor house while embracing a modern feel.
Beautiful touches such as White Company London linen in all of the bedrooms and REN products in all of the bathrooms add little luxuries that make the whole experience feel even more special.
The estate is split into three properties. The main one being the manor house, the hub of the home, as this is where the kitchen and dining room are located. In fact, you may recognise the kitchen as it is what celebrity chef Rick Stein used to film his TV shows many times. Within the manor are eight bright and spacious bedrooms that all boast views across the gardens. There are also multiple communal areas with a drawing room, study, and library for you to relax in.
The Apple Store is a more modern space, only a skip across the courtyard from the manor. Aside from six bedrooms, there is also a beautiful sitting room with plenty of comfy sofas and its own kitchen. The Apple Store is also where the yoga studio is located. Through a door in the kitchen, you will find yourself in the bright and super spacious yoga studio boasting stunning oak beams, pillars, and high ceilings.
If you want total privacy, there is also the adorable Laundry Cottage, a fully self-contained cottage attached to the manor that is full of character and a beautiful first-floor bedroom perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. As a former laundry, this building was where the water was heated to wash the linen and has an enormous original Tudor inglenook fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove.
The garden surrounding the manor house and additional properties is a 22-acre expanse of lawns, ornamental lakes, camelia woods, orchards, and an incredible walled vegetable garden. When not enjoying yoga in the large studio, the lawns create a perfect space for classes too.
Program
Yoga and meditation
On AdventureYogi sea swim and coastal walking yoga retreat in Cornwall, the classes are suitable for all ages and abilities, from beginners to intermediate levels. Everyone is welcome. They have a range of inspiring and experienced teachers who are well-practised at adapting the class for everyone’s level.
The yoga classes take place in the spacious and beautiful yoga shala with all the yoga equipment provided.
Wild swimming and coastal walking
After high demand, we are introducing sea swimming to their calendar alongside the usual coastal walks. If you have the time or energy, you can try surfing or a SUP. This cold-water sea swimming experience is for all levels. You are split into two groups: beginner and experienced. We ask that you have a good level of pool swimming.
On this 4-night yoga retreat in Cornwall, AdventureYogi have teamed up with a local Cornish cold water sea swimming company that are Open Water Swimming and Beach Lifeguard qualified to lead this half-day activity with a briefing and some swim fit exercises before heading into the sea for a swim followed by a warm drink and post-swim snacks on the beach with a debrief. Learn how to sea swim safely and build confidence if you are new to it, and if you are a seasoned sea swimmer, share your experiences with others.
On the second day, enjoy a coastal walk, taking in the views, and having an ice cream or even another dip in the sea. On the third full day, you have the opportunity to relax at the venue. Alternatively, a woodland spa nearby offers a chance to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in nature, complete with a hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge, designed to refresh and invigorate.
After a fun day on the beach, come back to your country pad to relax in nature, enjoy yoga in the spacious yoga shala, enjoy delicious food, massage and cosy sofas to sink into or if sunny, relax in the sun on a blanket on the lawns. The garden surrounding the manor house and additional properties is a 22-acre expanse of lawns, ornamental lakes, camelia woods, orchards and an incredible walled vegetable garden. When not enjoying yoga in the large studio, the lawns create a perfect space for classes, too.
