What is a retreat?

​

Simply put, we provide a private and enchanting space to let go of the stresses of everyday life. Satori is a nature retreat on the Devon-Somerset border, surrounded by the restorative qualities of the natural world.  

 

Much research highlights the importance of nature in helping us release stress and improve our mental health and wellbeing. 

​​

At Satori, you can choose to simply retreat, or to unwind even further, add a choice of therapies offered by Emma.​

 

​Set within 22 acres of rolling hills, ancient woodlands and wildflower meadows on one side of the Bolham Valley, Satori is a nature lover's dream, offering diverse and wild habitats for flora, fauna and us.

​

As well as simply resting, Satori also offers space to pursue the things you love. Whether you're a cyclist exploring the surrounding lanes and hills, a writer looking for time and space to work, an artist seeking inspiration, or simply looking for time to think, the landscape provides the perfect setting.

​

Satori is a place to reconnect — with yourself, with each other and with the land.

​ 

We hope your time here leaves you feeling revived and inspired, as well as grounded and nurtured. However you choose to tailor your stay, our ambition is for you to leave feeling better than when you arrived.

 

​Accommodation  

 

​

Our self-catering accommodation is suitable for individuals, couples, families and small groups of up to twelve. We offer exclusive hire too.

​

Stay in Daisy yurt (sleeps four to five), Primrose hut (sleeps two), or wild camp with your own tent.

The magic of Satori 

​

Holistic, tailored and deep in nature. That is the magic of Satori.

​

We'd recommend you let go of the outside world while here, but if you'd like to explore further:

• There is an extensive network of local footpaths

• You might visit other nearby nature reserves such as Otterford Lakes (where wild beavers live!), Clayhidon Turbary or Bishopswood Meadows

• Or a little further afield, visit the Jurassic Coast or interesting sites such as Beer Quarry Caves. And if you don't mind small spaces, the medieval Underground Passages in Exeter are quite an experience!
