Creative Break or Self-Catering? |
Our Creative Breaks are designed for you to get the best from our unique location. Enjoy staying in our heritage buildings with other like minded people and learn exciting new skills. The price includes a help-yourself breakfast, lunches and Saturday night’s evening meal, and all tuition and trips. However, if you'd rather do your own thing, why not rent our historic buildings for a real get-away?
The Choice is Yours
Enjoy the flexibility of choosing from rural skills workshops to visiting the cobbled fishing village of Clovelly, surfing and sandy beaches of North Devon or stunning woodland and coastal walks.
Location – Welcombe, North Devon
Escape to this hidden gem – a remote, historical village nestling within a wild and dramatic coastal landscape on the border of North Devon and Cornwall.
Just one mile from the sea at Welcombe Mouth, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and secluded within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Welcombe offers the complete escape.
We’ll share with you our intimate knowledge of this unique landscape, allowing you to enjoy the very best that North Devon has to offer.
Retreats
The Yarner Trust has successfully hosted several Retreats. If you would like to bring a group to enjoy a peaceful location in our heritage buildings within a mile of the sea, why not contact us for more information? |
