Boconnion sits on 150 acres of meadow and woodland on the edge of Bodmin Moor, and people who come here on retreat tend to say the same thing: it’s peaceful in a way that’s hard to find. Here, retreat hosts and guests share their reviews. They talk about yoga in the Barton Barn, luxury accommodation, enjoying the estate’s facilities from the swimming pool to the hot tubs, and plant-based lunches on the terrace. If you’re planning a retreat in Cornwall, get in touch to book a tour.
Joey, Boconnion’s retreat specialist
“If you book your retreat here at Boconnion, I’ll be the one to look after you and - from one retreat host to another - it is the most perfect space to run a retreat. We have stunning properties. There are 4 you can book and we host retreat sizes anywhere from 4 to 27. There’s a dedicated yoga barn on site with underfloor heating and we’ve got amazing facilities like hot tubs, a swimming pool and there’s even a massage room on site too. So, if you’re interested in running your own retreat, please do get in touch because we would absolutely love to host you here at Boconnion.”

“Boconnion is the most perfect retreat venue. It’s an incredibly beautiful estate. It’s got that edge of wildness, with trees and space to walk, but you’re settled within perfect comfort. It’s got a wonderful balance and energy which creates idyllic retreat conditions. I’ve felt so at peace and happy - and to be in a space with an outdoor heated swimming pool is exceptional. We’ve had access to water, access to fire (with the firepit and beautiful log burners), and access to fresh air.”

“The setting is so beautiful. It’s really peaceful and feels very restorative. The rooms are luxurious with amazing big baths in some. They are very comfortable and thoughtfully designed. Lunch was amazing too - we felt so nourished.”

“Being at Boconnion feels like a luxurious escape from everyday life as soon as you go through the gates and down the drive. It’s private and secluded yet very easy to get to by car. The rooms are perfection - a real treat and lovely to relax in. Access to a hot tub, swimming pool and open space made it extra special - and Joey really knows how to run a retreat.”
