Our spaces are flexible, spacious and welcoming, allowing you to create a bespoke itinerary and unforgettable rural retreat experience for your guests.

RETREAT FACILITIES ON OUR PRIVATE ESTATE

For organisers wishing to hire Boconnion to host a boutique rural retreat, we have everything you need on site including both indoor and outdoor collaboration spaces to suit every season. Enjoy our spacious grounds in the summer or our heated group spaces for winter retreats. Our luxury accommodation sleeps a maximum of 45, with shared occupancy, across 4 properties. You can hire a combination of our accommodation and collaboration spaces or choose to have the whole estate to yourself. Either way, it’s a mindful, engaging environment for both host and attendees. Here’s what’s included in your private hire package...

RETREAT ENQUIRIES

OUR SPACIOUS EVENTS BARN

The two-story Boxonnion Barn, with underfloor heating and sympathetic lighting, is the largest event space on site. The ground floor, with rustic beams and beautiful stone walls, provides a warm traditional atmosphere, perfect for winter retreats. Don’t miss the original cow stall names that still hang on the wall after first being installed over 300 years ago.

Off of the ground floor entertaining space is a professional kitchen fitted with industrial extractor fans and 5-ring gas oven. Accessible loos and a shower can also be found on the ground floor, tucked discreetly out of the way.

Upstairs, the first floor is bathed in natural light that pours in through floor-to-ceiling studio windows. There’s a wood burner for added atmosphere and warmth, and a beautiful wooden bar handcrafted from one of Boconnion’s ancient fallen oak trees.

CREATIVE & FLEXIBLE GROUP SPACES

Outdoor spaces – Take your pick from a wealth of outdoor options to host retreat sessions or gatherings. Within our 150 acres of private estate, there are woodland walks, open meadows and views of uninterrupted Cornish countryside. For something more formal, each property has group dining and recreation spaces.

Woodland fire pit – Our brand-new fire pit area is yours for the duration of your boutique retreat. Comfortably seating 9 and just a short walk from all accommodation options, it adds another dimension to your itinerary. It’s the perfect spot for an autumn or winter retreat activity but can be enjoyed all year round.

Dining & catering – We have full catering facilities in Boconnion Barn, perfect for larger groups. We do not have an on-site chef but can recommend the best local talent and suppliers to suit your needs. Each property also has a beautiful, modern kitchen perfect for self-catering or private dining, as well as outdoor hosting options.
