Yoga Retreat Hire at Garth Barns & Country House
Tranquility, peace, fresh countryside air, Garth Barns & Country House is the perfect retreat venue with flexible accommodation, facilities including wild swimming and a sauna, all set in 200 acres of beautiful unspoilt countryside.
Garth Barns & Country House includes Hafod Barn, Ty Nant Barn and Garth Country House, all set at the heart of the Farm’s 200 acres of glorious countryside. This beautiful venue has been hosting yoga, meditation and other wellness retreats since 2014.
Surrounded by nature, with ancient and new woodlands, a lake, a mediation dingle and mesmerising views, Garth Barns & Country House provides a tranquil, calming and energising space that provides the perfect setting for your retreat.
With an abundance of space both indoors and outdoors, including a 70 square metre light-filled room with smooth oak floors and underfloor heating, Garth Barns & Country House is the ultimate all season retreat venue.
Outside of your planned timetable, there is so much to do, with plenty of ‘free-time’ options that provide the perfect complement to your wellness agenda. These include large gardens for relaxing with new friends, direct access to fantastic walking and hiking opportunities, a gym, sauna, fire pit, canoes and various other facilities available for guests’ exclusive use on site.
Retreats held at the venue range from 10-35 participants. Normally all three properties at Garth Barns and Garth Country House are booked together and include exclusive use of the facilities. On occasion, particularly during the low season winter months, it is possible to book just Hafod Barn and Ty Nant Barn for groups of up to 16 plus teachers and assistants, or Garth Country House individually for groups of up to 10 plus a teacher. When Garth Country House is booked on an individual basis for a retreat, the yoga Shala is created in the large Front Room.
Booking the whole venue, ensures exclusivity and is essential when booking dates during the more popular months, from late spring to early autumn.
With 18 bedrooms (16 are ensuite rooms) and flexible room arrangements, up to 30 attendees plus teachers and assistants can comfortably be accommodated for a yoga retreat, and more for a meditation-only retreat when the entire venue is booked. For bookings outside of peak dates, it may be possible to book the two barns or Garth Country House individually. Where the entire venue is not booked, the maximum number of attendees will vary.
When the entire venue is hired, the large Living Area in Hafod Barn is typically used as the Shala, with the large Front Room in Garth Country House providing a brilliant dining room where everyone can join and eat together.
Ty Nant Barn and Hafod Barn may be booked together, without Garth Country House for dates during the winter months. Up to 16 attendees plus teachers and assistants can be accommodated across both barns. In this case, the large living area in Hafod Barn is used as the Shala and the large farmhouse table in the kitchen at Ty Nant Barn is typically where everyone joins to dine together. There are 10 ensuite rooms across both barns, with flexible bed arrangements possible in most. The sauna and gym are available exclusively for your guests when hiring the two Barns.
Garth Country House is perfect for smaller retreats, and can be booked independently outside of peak season. When hired individually, the Shala is created in the large Front Room and is suitable for up to 10 participants and the dining area can set up separately in the living space adjacent to the kitchen. There is also additional dining space on the covered deck or on the rear outdoor terrace.
There are 6 ensuite rooms in Garth Country House and most have flexible bed arrangements, and can be set up to accommodate single, double or triple occupancy.
Mid week retreats may be booked at Garth Country House at any time of year.
