Cornwall Ayurveda & Yoga

Location

The twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are situated on the Rame Peninsula in SE Cornwall, known as Cornwall’s forgotten corner. Once a popular haunt of smugglers, these historical fishing villages are unspoilt by time with charming colour washed cottages and narrow streets. Located within a conservation Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the villages are an artist's dream and a haven of peace and tranquility.

​

Used as a safe harbour for centuries, Cawsand Bay offers the perfect place to drop anchor and is popular for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and snorkelling. A seasonal passenger ferry also connects Cawsand to the Plymouth Barbican.

​

This is the perfect base for visiting the Rame Peninsula, where you can discover a beautiful landscape of tidal creeks, sandy beaches, lush farmland and country parks. Rame Head, at the eastern end of Whitsand Bay, guards Plymouth Sound from the prevailing winds. It is crowned by the remains of a 14th century chapel, dedicated to St Michael. The nearby Penlee Battery, a disused Napoleonic fort, is now a nature reserve. The coast path towards Cremyll winds its way through the 800 acre Mount Edgcumbe Park, considered the most beautiful in England.

 

Accommodation

Formerly part of a 17th century ‘pilchard palace’, this unique Grade II listed property also spent many years as the village school. The house stands on a small and pretty sand and shingle beach which is also great for rock pooling when the tide is out, and is literally in the sea at high tide!

​

All bedrooms benefit from either Cologne & Cotton or The White Company beautifully soft cotton sheets and fluffy bath towels. 

​

The master bedroom is suitable for a couple. Located on the first floor, it is tastefully furnished with an antique king size four poster bed and includes an en-suite bathroom with shower. Double glass doors open to a private balcony looking out to sea... what could be more perfect?

​

The twin bedroom is also on the first floor, containing two single beds and a stunning en-suite shower room.

​

The double bedroom is available to book with single occupancy and is located on the ground floor. This is the only bedroom without an ensuite but it contains a vanity sink and has a private bathroom located on the lower floor, through the kitchen and in the 'smugglers tunnel'. The bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower.

​

The triple bedroom is located on the top floor where there is a king size bed plus two single beds. The king will be allocated on a first-booking basis. There is also an en-suite shower room and uninterrupted views across the Rame coastline.

​

During free time, relax in the bright and spacious sitting room with amazing sea views or in the outdoor decked area. From the garden, you can directly access the small slipway for a refreshing sea dip, or walk through the private ‘smugglers tunnel’, where steps lead straight down on to the pretty sand and shingle beach (or the sea if the tide is in).

​

Cawsand Bay is sheltered and very safe for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Join the locals who swim most mornings from the beach or take one of the kayaks out to explore the beautiful coves and crystal clear waters.

​

As with most of the properties in the village, there is no parking but there are two good sized car parks close by and some free road side parking at the top of the village.

 

Food & Drink

Delicious artisan sourdough pizza, lovingly created by The Old Bakery across the road, welcomes you on the first evening. 

​

Breakfast and dinner are provided each day, served buffet style either from the indoor dining area or al fresco in the garden, enjoying the peninsula's special micro-climate! Meals are vegetarian and vegan, tasty and home cooked, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. A selection of tea and coffee is available to help yourself to throughout the day.

​

There are several excellent cafes, restaurants and inns to visit nearby for lunch. Whether you fancy a 'proper' Cornish pasty or some fresh local seafood, all tastes are catered for.

​

On the final evening we'll take your tastebuds on a journey around Cornwall as you sample locally produced cheeses and accompaniments. Vegan options are available (although these may not be produced in Cornwall).
