ABOUT YOUR TRIP

You'll be staying at Cabilla Cornwall, set within 300 acres of rainforest on Bodmin Moor. This beautiful landscape will offer ample opportunities for nature immersion: the itinerary will include forest bathing, cold river plunges, morning yoga, sound healing, and sauna sessions. Retreaters will stay in Cabilla's cabins, which come complete with log burners and Bramley toiletries, with access to roam freely around the estate. And while you'll have plenty of solo time, the retreat will also be an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals over campfire dinners and guided walks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which train station do I need to get to?

The easiest way to find us is via the Google Maps link for Cabilla Cornwall here or on What3words with ‘romantics.galaxy.budget’. We recommend that you drive to us so you can explore the local area more easily. Plug PL30 4DW into your sat nav and follow the signs – you'll find us. Or to reach us by train, our nearest station is Bodmin Parkway, where you can arrange for a taxi to bring you here.

What time should I arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?

Arrival and departure times are set for 4 pm and 10 am, respectively. Check in at reception at The Barns when you arrive, where our Cabilla Host team will be there to meet you. There, you will be given a tour around the site and shown to your Koyt. Please check out in the same way.

Are transfers included?

Reach us by train; our nearest station is Bodmin Parkway, where you can arrange for a taxi to bring you here. Full-immersion packages include a private transfer from the train station.

What fitness levels do I need for this trip?

We recommend reading through the itinerary above and getting in touch if you have specific questions about fitness.

This is a fairly active trip with hilly terrain and a Hybrid type of training, but fully scalable to everyone's skill level.

Our coaches will asses the fitness levels of each guests on the first day and adapt the training accordingly.

Will the itinerary or trainers advertised on the trip change?

These changes can occur with little notice due to factors beyond our control, such as coach availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other unforeseen circumstances. However, we’ll always do our best to minimise their impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make adjustments to your itinerary to explore new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.

What clothing and footwear to pack

We always recommend bringing lots of warm, waterproof clothing that dries easily, plus waterproof footwear. Bring warm layers for the day and especially for night, as it can get chilly – multiple pairs of warm socks are a must.

Wellies or walking boots are absolutely essential. We would recommend bringing a pair of slippers and/or thick socks to wear in your Koyt, as we kindly ask that you do not wear outdoor shoes inside.
