retreats — sold out
a cornish retreat that helps you find your spark again.
Made for creative minds who like their getaways a little more homemade. This retreat whisks you away to Southern Cornwall for some seaside air, morning swims, picnics on the beach as well as guided crafting workshops and plenty of delicious, healthy meals with new and like-minded friends. These retreats are intimate, depth-oriented and easy to attend — WFH and sneak in swims between meetings or join us for a hike before we craft. The workshops are there if you want them, but if you'd rather spend the afternoon reading on the beach or going for a solo explore, that's just as welcome. And unlike other retreats, no car, no problem. You can get a 15 minute bus from St Austell station into Mevagissey and walk just 15 minutes to the house! Or we can call you a taxi that'll have you at the house in 20 minutes.
the days
- Thursday
- Arrive from 2pm and explore amongst friends before a long, lovely dinner. Finish the day playing cards, then slink off to bed for a sleep set against the crashing of waves.
- Friday
- Start your day with a swim and a coffee on the beach before we head off on a long walk and return to relax ahead of the workshop — or WFH and sneak in swims before joining the crafting workshop at 5pm. We'll end the day at the pub just opposite the beach.
- Saturday & Sunday
- Spend your morning however you wish before we explore further — perhaps some sleepy lanes or a quiet beach with spectacular views. We'll take our lunch on the go, treat ourselves to ice cream or a pasty, and head back for some quality alone time before more crafting workshops: ring-making with the shells you found on the beach, oil pastels to recreate a photo you've just taken, or even a zine about yourself. Wind down with some games or curl up to watch a film.
- Monday
- WFH again, or explore with us. Stay as late as 5pm.
the rooms
Our finest room. With large windows offering a stunning view of the bay and comfy armchairs, you'll easily lose an afternoon reading here.
A garden-facing room with a little more privacy, and plenty of space to spread out in.
The largest and the brightest, tucked up on the top floor — you'll wake to the sea from your bed.
price includes
- Four nights' stay in your chosen room

the food
All meals are included and unhurried — made from scratch, eaten together. Breakfasts are homemade granola with fresh fruit, or something warm and eggy to set you up for the day. Lunch is fresh bread, good cheese, soups, salads, something simple and satisfying. Dinners are the main event: a slow Sunday roast, a fragrant curry, homemade pesto with pasta, fish and chips eaten on the harbour.
All drinks are included too — coffee, tea, soft drinks, wine and more, whenever you like. And just next door, a small beach café does excellent coffee, cake and pastries if you fancy something between meals.
