Join us for an Indian summer mid-week retreat in Cornwall. Stay for 4 nights in a beautiful country estate right and enjoy beach time in the day and country living at night. Sea swims, coastal walks, countryside walks and try surfing!
25th September 2023 Based within a stunning estate only 10 minutes away from some of the most famous beaches in north Cornwall, this location gives the perfect opportunity to be as relaxed and restored or as adventurous and active as your heart desires.
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.
Of course, no trip to Cornwall is complete without a trip to the beach and this location gives us a prime opportunity to be close to some of the best around. In fact, within 15 minutes there are 10 stunning beaches to explore. We will be checking out the local area which is blessed with an abundance of coastal path walks, beaches, dunes, seaside towns and of course, surf.
Retreat Date:
25th – 29th September 2023

Over the 13 years that AY has been organising our bespoke retreats, we have always made sure that we work with exceptional yoga teachers who are dedicated to their practice and live and breathe yoga, so you can feel safe in the knowledge that you will be inspired, relaxed and tensions dissolved by the end of your retreat with us.
The yoga on our mid-week retreat in Cornwall will take place in the beautifully converted barn and it is a vast space with high ceilings, wooden beams and plenty of light. If we are blessed with some lovely weather there will also be the opportunity to head out into the gardens.
Our morning yoga classes will be an uplifting but gentle flow class blending pranayama and movement to start our day. Evening sessions will be dedicated to yin, restorative and meditation-style practises to really embrace the opportunity to truly relax and heal.

Amazing AY team to look after your every need
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 where celebrity chef Rick Stein has used to film his TV shows many times! Within the Manor are 8 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. With 6 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 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 traveller 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.
