The Hermitage solitary retreat venue at Sharpham, Totnes, Devon

Experience a solitary nature-immersion and your own mindful contemplation in a stunning setting.

The Hermitage is our solitary retreat venue, a Shepherd's Hut located in beautiful woodland within the peaceful River Dart valley - part of the South Devon National Landscape.

You'll feel far away, but you'll be close to our Barn retreat centre, which has welcomed retreatants since 1986.

The Hermitage features a double bed, sink and hob, solar lighting and a deck to sit out on. It is served by a compost loo.

Food is provided to make your own breakfast and evening meal, and a daily home-cooked lunch is provided by The Barn Retreat.

Showers can be taken at certain times in The Barn.
