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.
What to expect
The hiking guide is suitable for beginners, with amazing walks starting directly from the farmyard. Explore a temperate rainforest, follow the Tamar River, and, conditions allowing, enjoy a wild dip along the way. There are also endless routes in the Tamar Valley and Dartmoor, with the option to walk from the property or drive to Dartmoor for more adventurous hikes.
This retreat is designed so you can shape the experience to suit your own pace and preferences. Nature is at the heart of the programme, combining yoga, hiking, water sports, outdoor hot tubs, and river dips to make the most of this powerful setting.
Accommodation
The accommodation is stylish, comfortable, and set within the stunning AONB, fully surrounded by nature. The beautifully renovated Grade II listed farmstead blends classic country comfort with an environmentally minded approach. Parts of the farm date back to the 13th century, and the original Medieval Long Barn has been transformed into a spacious living room with an enormous fireplace and stonework said to come from Tavistock Abbey.
