Lone Pine Retreats
Set beyond Exmoor, North Devon, this expansive coast is majestic, so much so the poet Shelley called the area “England's Little Switzerland”. The deep and wooded valley surrounding us is one of the largest remaining areas of semi-natural ancient woodland in the South West. This is where the magic happens.
Combining over 25 years experience in the events industry, over 7 years residential hosting, and more than two years of exploring all of the delights that Exmoor has to offer, our retreats embrace everything that makes this stunning part of the UK so special - the great outdoors, access to the coast, landscape art, wild swimming, wellness, fantastic local produce, the warmth of the community, and much, much more.
Based in Lynmouth, each restorative retreat is designed to give you the space to develop a skill or technique that is important to you, guided by an expert in the field. Taking time for yourself, getting into a flow state, tantalizing all your senses, and being with like-minded people ... this unique experience is heightened by the setting, and our own unique application, we promise a fulfilling experience that will leave you wanting more.
Hosted at the relaxing Seaview Villa, we take care of your every need, giving you an unforgettable boutique experience blending exquisite cuisine, relaxation, art, nature, social and coastal charm.

"I had a wonderful visit to Seaview Villa whilst attending one of there collaboration Coastal Art Retreats.
The hosts Claudine & David were very accommodating, making every effort to cater individually for our Vegan friend. We were lucky enough to be served with 3 course evening meals too which were ‘outstanding!’ They can cook!! and the tastes were sublime. The Villa is a short walk to the Harbour where there are so many interesting shops & vistas. Being a past hotelier myself, I would definately recommend Seaview Villa, Lone Pine Retreats and Claudine’s food. Absolutely Lovely - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I recently stayed at Seaview Villa as part of an art retreat hosted by Caudine and David, and I couldn't have felt more welcome. They both worked so hard to give us an amazing time. What I wasn't expecting was for the food to be so good, in fact stunning. Claudine cooked everything fresh, and it was not only delicious, but so creative and accommodated everyone's dietry needs.
The location is beautiful with diverse natural environments, from river walks to sandy and pebbly beaches, cliff trails and the valley of the rocks all within walking distance.
Lynmouth is a sweet little harbour town from which you can walk up the cliff, or get the funicular to Lynton.
I would stay here again. Loved it" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
