Rumleigh Farm Yoga

Set in the Tamar Valley in Devon, this retreat is hosted at Rumleigh Farm, a rare and secluded hideaway in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by 17 acres of nature, the farm includes riverside access, a beautiful apple orchard, a polytunnel, a vegetable garden, a wood-fired hot tub, and private gardens. With a history dating back before the Domesday Book, the farmstead offers a deep sense of calm, especially in the main lounge, where the atmosphere feels as peaceful as an old church or chapel.

Rumleigh Farm is a rustic sanctuary on the banks of the River Tamar, fully immersed in nature and offering a true place to rest. With no passing traffic or light pollution, this is a setting where the natural world comes first.
