A perfect place to integrate yoga into your stay on the beautiful North Cornwall coastline. Book in a morning yoga session before adventuring out or enjoy a relaxing class after a long walk or surf… or an active class after a lazy day at the beach! Deborah is a level 3 qualified Iyengar Yoga teacher and has practiced Iyengar Yoga since 1990. There are regular classes that you may be able to attend or private classes are available to book also. All abilities welcome. Please ask for a link to the yoga studio upon booking. Simply book By messaging us in advance or book in person during your stay. We share our family home with our children and our ridiculously friendly Husky x Utonagan, she may well want to come and say hello when you are in the garden. The garden has a vegetable patch which is often tended to and the gardens are used by all. We have chickens in the garden that have their own enclosure but sometimes wonder freely in the garden. There are fresh eggs we can offer when available!
