Details
Set within the serene embrace of Sharpham Trust, this retreat offers a deeply tranquil ambience, where ancient woodland, organic rewilded land, and panoramic views of the River Dart converge to create a nurturing sanctuary for rest and renewal. The retreat is designed to gently guide you back to balance, offering a mindful escape from the pace of modern life. With beginner-friendly as well as mixed-ability vinyasa flows in the morning and deeply restorative yin and yoga nidra sessions in the evening, each day supports physical vitality and emotional grounding. A holistic workshop further enhances your sense of inner calm and care. Guests enjoy three nourishing, organic meals daily—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—featuring seasonal, home-grown produce. Highlights include Sharpham’s award-winning cheese, freshly pressed apple juice from the estate’s own orchards, and thoughtfully prepared vegetarian and vegan dishes crafted on-site. Unique features include the retreat’s private riverside setting, its heritage as an 18th-century estate, certified organic grounds under active rewilding, and a secluded outdoor pool in the Walled Garden. Recognised by The Times as one of Europe’s best retreats, Sharpham offers a space where nature and mindfulness co-exist—ideal for reconnecting with yourself, in stillness or in good company.

Sharpham is a special house in a spectacular setting where we hope you can feel at home and enjoy the relaxed, friendly and cosy atmosphere. Lots of people think that a historic house must have been draughty and cold, but it's warm and cosy here (thanks to our eco-sensitive wood-chip boiler). The rooms are spacious and some of them have attractive views of the quant English countryside, helping you deeply rest and rejuvenate in a nourishing and inspiring atmosphere.
