HEIR ISLAND RETREAT

Overlooking the sea, Heir Island Retreat encompasses a purpose built studio and self-contained apartment with a spacious bedroom and living accommodation. With its vaulted ceiling and large picture windows looking down the bay, the studio is an inspiring place to practice yoga, to meditate, to compose music and for many things not imagined yet. As a separate building, it guarantees peacefulness and privacy.

In the grounds there are colourful grassy walkways, a lake with resident ducks and moorhens and benches to sit and take in the view. This is a place where your eyes will be continually dragged back to the vista before you: the ever-shifting sea, the changing light, the wheeling birds, the crash of the waves on the cliffs.

Whether you are a yoga or meditation teacher, a business looking for a venue with a difference for your next meeting, or an individual looking for a space to switch off, reflect and recharge, there is something for you.
