A calm sanctuary

As experienced retreat hosts we know what it takes to provide an environment for successful group gatherings. We've created Stone Mill Retreat to provide calming spaces to meet, beautiful bedrooms for rest, communal meal facilities, a versatile practice area, varied indoor and outdoor seating and dining areas. The venue is wonderful for being immersed in abundant nature, birdsong and trees. And situated on the banks of the Little River Dart there are beautiful walks right from the door.

For self-catering the farmhouse kitchen is well-equipped with a large Rangemaster 5-ring stove, double oven, dishwasher and two fridges and freezer. In the cooler weather the Aga is wonderful for slow cooked jacket potatoes and stews.

We can offer simple wholesome catering options or put you in touch with local caterers or chefs. There are local pubs and restaurants and a fabulous farmshop nearby too. Contact us if you would like to discuss ideas.
