Sharpham House is the place to go if you’re ready to take your quest for tranquillity seriously

It’s good news that the estate has unveiled the 18-room Coach House, converted from its 18th-century stable yard, and concentrating on nature-based mindfulness.

An astonishingly lovely private estate on a bend of the River Dart in Ashprington [which] offers friendly and approachable secular meditation retreats for anyone

Where else can you practise walking meditation among roses and lilies in a formal garden, or meditate in a blue-painted music room where the marble fireplace is a sculptured work of art?
