There is even a USB charging point for phones and tablets powered by solar! Outside is a wooden outdoor Kitchen and a chill-out covered seating den.

In the heart of North Devon just 15 minutes from Woolacombe and close to Exmoor, Barnstaple, Ilfracombe, Croyde and Combe Martin is a beautiful farmstead called Holwell. The old farmhouse sits peacefully in a sheltered hollow, down a 1/2 mile track, with its own private spring water supply and 5 acres of land amidst the typical Devon rolling hills and pastures. There is a Yoga and treatments centre on site, to be booked separately, where you can sometimes enjoy classes (non at the moment due to COVID-19) massage treatments and holistic therapies subject to booking.

Nestled in a sleepy hollow amid 5 acres of gorgeous North Devon countryside, with nothing but bird song to remind you that the outside world exists, sits a delightful farmstead and Yoga Centre. Steeped in history & with stunning views, its wondrously nurturing powers seem to embrace you as soon as you arrive. With its own water supply from natural springs the owners encourage an ecological approach to living & their land is as organic as possible. Everyone agrees that this place has a healing energy.

The yurt is situated on a 5 acre plot of land and is in an enclosed private garden they call The Secret Garden because it's tucked away out of sight. In this area guests can enjoy exclusive use of a wooden built outdoor kitchen which has a prep area with sink and drainer with water bottle above and a waste bottle underneath. A 6 burner gas BBQ and chill out den seating area with chimenea for the cooler evenings. Unbreakable crockery provided and utensils, cutlery etc. There is a cool box so saves keep going to the laundry barn to get milk etc. The Mandala Yurt at Holwell is near the Stone Circle at Holwell. It sleeps two in a double bed.

On the land, in its own Secret Garden, sits the 18ft Mongolian Yurt which sleeps 2 comfortably in a double bed. There is seating, a table and folding chair, wardrobe and soft lighting. Just outside is the delightful, rustic outdoor kitchen and chill out den with BBQ, work area, storage and covered seating. Charging is no issue as there are Solar powered USB ports in the outdoor area, in the yurt and in the laundry barn. The yurt now has a small wood-burner and there is also a chiminea outside to warm you in the evening. There are various seating options around the Secret Garden.

You have use of a laundry barn with facilities to wash up, a washing machine, tumble drier, toilet, shower and sink. An outdoor tap with hose attachment is useful for washing wetsuits after a day at the beaches nearby. This is a shared space with 2 other people in our family. Back at the Secret Garden is a rotary airer for you to use.

This magical space will suit those wanting to have a “getaway from it all” break yet be amongst a family farmstead. There is a stone circle for meditation, lots of paths through the land, orchards and wooded areas to explore and have picnics.

Even though there is a little lighting in the Yurt and Secret Garden, it is advisable to bring a good torch as the walk to the toilet is not all lit. The family here have 3 cats who might visit. Mobile signal is limited and internet is poor at best.
