The Barn
The Barn
We’ve restored the old wood mill barn as a calm, versatile space for retreats, workshops and gatherings, holding onto its quiet history and connection to the surrounding woodland.
Light, warm and beautifully simple, the barn has been designed to feel at home in its woodland setting. Wrapped in trees and accompanied by the sound of the stream, it offers a peaceful setting for yoga and wellness retreats, creative workshops, team days and private gatherings in Cornwall.
The Studio
Upstairs, our 120m² studio sits level with the tree canopy, with A-frame beams, wooden floors and views into the woodland.
Light and spacious, it can be adapted for everything from yoga, Pilates and movement to breathwork, meditation, sound, creative workshops and group sessions. The studio has a high-spec audio system, with yoga mats, bolsters and bricks available for use.
Step outside and the wider Melancoose setting becomes part of the experience — the stream, woodland, firepit and Woodland Spa all just moments away.
The Snug
Beside the studio, our 25m² snug offers a more intimate space to gather, eat and unwind.
With a large farmhouse table and comfy seating for up to twelve, it works beautifully for shared meals, meetings, breakout sessions, creative work or simply slowing down between activities.
Together, the Studio and Snug give groups the freedom to shape the barn around their day.
