About Bonhays Retreat Centre
Bonhays is a beautiful eco Retreat Centre, nestled in the hills of West Dorset, between Bridport and Lyme Regis and just two miles from the sea.
The settling is secluded and peaceful, surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Set around a central courtyard, with the soft curves of the straw buildings and the hills beyond, there is quiet and stillness here. Bonhays has lovely communal areas to relax and chat in as well as many peaceful and secluded spots for quiet and reflection. There is also an indoor heated swimming pool.
The coast and beaches are just 2 miles away if you want to get a dose of sea air and enjoy a beach walk, or you may simply want to enjoy a peaceful moment on the decking and watch the sunset, swim peacefully in the pool, share wonderful meals in the conservatory, practice yoga and meditation; be and rejuvenate.
Evie, the chef at Bonhays, sources organic ingredients locally if she has not grown them herself and then with her imaginative palette she produces lovely looking, healthy and very tasty food. All the food is vegetarian.
The daily programme
There will be a yoga class on Friday evening and meditation after dinner. On Saturday there will be two yoga classes typically each will be 2 hrs long, plus meditation and chanting. There will also be plenty of time to walk, rest, relax or take a dip in the pool or even the sea. There will be meditation and a yoga class on Sunday morning before lunch and good-byes.
There are plenty of lovely walks, local beaches to visit and ample space to simply relax.
Accommodation at Bonhays
Single, shared twin or double rooms are available. There are also two shepherds' huts set in a quiet corner looking up the Marshwood Valley. The huts have electricity, a wood burner and are fully insulted and fitted with an outside tap. They have a double bed so are suitable for one person or a couple. There is also the option to camp.
Bathrooms, shower and toilet facilities are shared.
