A Calm Countryside Setting for Retreats
Compton Pool offers a peaceful retreat venue in Devon for groups seeking space, privacy, and time away from everyday distractions. Set within 14 acres of private countryside in South Devon, the estate is available for exclusive use, creating a calm and flexible setting for retreats, group getaways, and small team stays.
Whether you’re planning a yoga or wellbeing retreat, a mindfulness or creative break, or an informal team getaway, Compton Pool provides an unhurried, nature-led environment where groups can reconnect, reflect, and recharge.
Relax, unwind, and connect with nature
Compton Pool is not a busy venue or shared resort. With exclusive use of the entire site, your group can enjoy complete privacy throughout your stay, allowing you to set your own pace and create the atmosphere that best suits your retreat.
The estate’s quiet rural setting, open grounds, and flexible accommodation make it particularly well suited to:
-
Yoga retreats
-
Mindfulness and wellbeing retreats
-
Creative and writing retreats
-
Spiritual or reflective group stays
Accommodation is spread across multiple cottages, offering a balance of shared time and personal space — ideal for retreat leaders and participants alike.
Wellbeing, Yoga & Mindfulness Retreats
We welcome wellbeing-focused retreats that value simplicity, calm, and connection. The flexible nature of Compton Pool allows retreat leaders to shape their stay around their programme, whether that involves group sessions, quiet reflection, or informal gatherings.
While we don’t operate as a traditional retreat centre, our approach is collaborative and supportive. We work with organisers ahead of arrival to understand how the space will be used and to help create an environment that feels appropriate, peaceful, and welcoming for your group.

Team & Group Getaways
Compton Pool can also be hired for small team or leadership getaways, particularly where the aim is to step away from the office and spend quality time together in a relaxed setting.
We are not a conference or corporate events venue, and we don’t offer formal meeting facilities or packaged team-building activities. Instead, Compton Pool works best for:
-
Informal team retreats
-
Leadership or strategy getaways
-
Creative or planning breaks
-
Groups who value space, privacy, and shared experiences
This makes it a refreshing alternative for teams who want to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy time together without rigid schedules or distractions.
Flexible, Exclusive Use for Retreat Groups
very retreat or group stay at Compton Pool begins with a conversation. We take time to understand:
-
The nature of your retreat or group
-
How you plan to use the space
-
Any practical or scheduling requirements
Where possible, we are happy to be flexible and accommodating, helping you make the most of the site while maintaining its calm and respectful atmosphere.
Outstanding five-star accommodation in a beautiful corner of Devon, with cosy, well-equipped cottages and excellent on-site facilities. From the pool and lakes to the animals and countryside setting, it was so good we didn’t want to leave.
