Vacation rentals in Devon

The ultimate experience in body detox, purification and well being. Guests shall meet at topsham bridge TQ74DR near loddiswell. One hour prior to meeting i will have prepared the sauna and the lighting around the swimming and plunge pool area ready for immediate use. For the best sauna effect our Narvia 14kw heater is fuelled by kiln dried logs which are provided as part of the package. On meeting i shall complete a safety brief on how to get the most out of the whole sauna and cold water river swim / bathing experience. Ie operation of the sauna, sauna and swim multiple entries and resting periods. Map of the swim pool depth and safe resting areas etc. Non swimmers are more than welcome as the river is very sandy and shallow in places around the plunge pool, so bathers can still enter the water safely without having to swim. Next we shall drive to the forest location to start the wood fired sauna experience and bathe / swim right on the River Avon. This activity as described and instructed usually lasts around 2-2 1/2 hours. Couples or groups who want to hire out the sauna and river swim area for private functions can do so simply by messaging me direct or hitting the private group icon. The cost to hire out the experience is 250GBP for a 3 hour period and a bottle of champagne is included in the price. A great experience for couples who want intimacy. Other things to note Its great fun to sauna and bathe at night I am flexible on times to commence the experience, just let me know the time and i will accommodate you.

IMPORTANT: DUE TO CV19 RESTRICTIONS NOT ALL BUILDINGS WILL BE FULLY OPENED UNTIL JULY. SO THE TOUR LENGTH HAS BEEN REDUCED BY 1 HOUR AND THE PRICE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED. You will be taken on an immediately friendly, factual, relaxed, under the skin tour of one of the world's great medieval cities. Using my extensive local guiding knowledge you will experience intimate areas of the city not normally shown to the public. You will see things largely unknown, surprisingly, to even its own citizenry! I will personally guide you through living history from Roman roots AD50, the Rougement Castle of William The Conqueror 1068, Northernhay Gardens, Englands very first public space 1612, Britains' narrowest street 14th century and the 2 great medieval halls 1130 and 1471 to which we will have unique access. Along the way we'll delve into 1680s witchcraft, when Exeter became the last place in England to execute witches, The Prayer Book Rebellion 1549, Norman Conquest 1060s, Insurrection 1497, Vikings 1003, both World Wars, Royal births and the Woollen Cloth Trade which paid for all of it and made Exeter the 3rd wealthiest city outside London. What I've described will be a delightful 2 hours and I haven't even mentioned the great Cathedral nor the waterways...

I'm hosting a unique Wellbeing Tipi Temple at a very special location hidden in the cliffs of north Cornwall. Guests can visit the tipi for 1:1, pair or small (under 5) group sessions, which are focused around a meditative, relaxing sound bath and also integrate crystal healing, reiki, and intuitive insights (which use tarot, oracle and astrology to offer soul development and guidance), all shared in the wild. The tipi is located at a very special private venue where there are 45 acres of natural magic to explore after your session - wild waterfalls, opportunities to forage for natural crystals, views out to the Atlantic and mining ruins - as well as plenty of coffee and community to connect with on your visit. **ASTROLOGY** - I usually like to prepare guests' natal charts in advance to help me steer the session. This is optional! If you WOULD like me to do so, please message full names, date, time and place of birth to me at least 48hrs before your session. Please note that this is for insight only and is NOT a full astrological reading. Other things to note: Part of the magic of the experience is being off grid - the site has no electricity and not a lot of phone signal, and please make sure you wear weather appropriate footwear/clothing. Plan for a little integration time after your session - there's plenty of space to relax and reflect before hitting the road.

I take groups of up to 10 people on the Tuesday evening Shepherding Walks. I'll meeting you in the car park in Mortehoe. We'll walk a short way to the sheep pens, where I'll show you something of the training of a young sheepdog and talk about what it takes to farm in this challenging environment. Then we'll walk for a couple of miles at a leisurely pace around the Morte Point peninsular, on some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the South West of England. The Point is owned by the National Trust, and as the tenant farmer, I graze my sheep across the 200 acres amongst the rocks and cleaves, the bracken and heather and to the cliff edge, I couldn't do it without my amazing team of sheepdogs. This year Glen and Mirk will be my top sheepdogs, and on my Shepherding walks you'll see him working far into the distance controlled by my whistle, balanced by his own skills and instinct. A really top sheepdog makes decisions of its own, and often knows far more than I do about working the sheep, and will spot problems unseen by the shepherd. If the weather permits and the tide is right, we'll see the local seals on the way home. On summers evenings they bask on the rocks, with a haunting call that echos around on still summers evening, We usually take a little over 2 hours for the walk. I hope that it will be an experience that will live long in the memory

How often do you get to taste oysters at SOURCE? This invigorating excursion will see us rock up in Rock on Porthilly Beach where we'll dine on oysters Alfresco in clear view of the beautiful oyster farm they come from & the rest of this stunning estuary with plenty of space to keep us safe! You'll be spoilt with copious amounts of pristine Porthilly Oysters, that you will learn to shuck yourself with expert tuition, knowledge of oyster culture and history and taste some amazing flavours of raw and cooked oysters. Situated opposite the famous Harbour of Padstow & surrounded by golden Cornish Beaches it's hard to find a more spectacular setting to enjoy these gorgeous oysters direct from local farmers, on the actual farm! There'll be plenty of shucking and oyster eating and depending on weather we'll fire up & BBQ a few. The set up is pop-up style, to give you an authentic oyster experience on the edge of the Camel Estuary. Come shuck & sip from the pearly cups next to the briney blue with Katy, The Oyster Lady. I'll answer any questions you have & give you an insight in to the oyster world that will be hard to match. As a Superhost on Airbnb with my home in Newquay, I pride myself on my ability to welcome, entertain, feed & host my fellow travellers. See you at the beach. Other things to note This is an invigorating outdoors experience to make you feel close to the vitalising source of oysters & connect you with the hands on immediacy of opening your own. It's the UK, it may rain! :)
