Creative Breaks and Self-Catering Holidays at Yarner 2008

Creative Break or Self-Catering?

Our Creative Breaks are designed for you to get the best from our unique location, enjoy staying in our heritage buildings and learning exciting new creative skills – but if you'd rather do your own thing, why not rent our historic buildings for a real get-away?

The Choice is Yours
Enjoy the flexibility of choosing from rural skills workshops to visiting the cobbled fishing village of Clovelly, surfing and sandy beaches of North Devon or stunning woodland and coastal walks.

Location – Welcombe, North Devon
Escape to this hidden gem – a remote, historical village nestling within a wild and dramatic coastal  landscape on the border of North Devon and Cornwall.

Just one mile from the sea at Welcombe Mouth, a Site of Special Scientific Interest and  secluded within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Welcombe offers the complete escape.

We’ll share with you our intimate knowledge of this unique landscape, allowing you to enjoy the very best that North Devon has to offer.

A Weekend in the Woods

Build a sustainable future from an area of woodland.

Experience living in one of our hand crafted willow yurts and cooking in a traditional cob oven whilst learning how to build a sustainable future from a small area of woodland.

You will be able to choose from either designing, sourcing materials and creating your own individual piece of stripped willow furniture.

Or you could decide to explore woodland potential and management and learn the craft of hazle hurdle making.

4 Days | Thursday 31st May - Sunday 3rd June 2007

Autumn Riches

Gathering, preserving, cooking and feasting

Discover the pleasures of gathering, growing, preserving and feasting as well as taking home a store cupboard of inspiring ideas.

Spend a day creating unusual chutneys, herb jellies and preserves, discover the secrets of making mouth watering speciality breads, both sweet and savoury. Gather fruit from our orchards and hedgerows and make your own freshly pressed and pasteurised juice or delicious country wines. Enjoy the fruits of your labours, dining by candlelight in front of a log fire in our medieval farmhouse.
