UNWIND WITH NATURE

YOGA AND RETREATS

A retreat space immersed in nature and surrounded by beautiful countryside…

About

If you are looking for an escape from day-to-day life and a space to reflect, Bore Place offers comfortable accommodation with an environmentally friendly approach surrounded by beautiful, unspoiled countryside.

Come and relax and enjoy the charming historic Bore Place House, or the spacious Old Stable, as well as the space of our Large Barn, which is ideal for group practice, such as yoga or meditation.

There are beautiful gardens for you and your group to enjoy and explore. A reflective pond is a stand-out feature. Stargaze, explore the local countryside with an uplifting walk and then warm up around a cosy fire.


Book a Retreat

With access to the 500-acre estate, as well as beautiful gardens, with walks into the wider countryside, Bore Place is an ideal space for those looking to stop, feel the benefits of nature and reconnect.

Experiences

We offer a selection of inspiring and different activities and workshops to complement your retreat. From yoghurt making to guided walks to foraging to natural crafts, we offer something for everyone, with a focus on wellbeing.

The activities are designed to help you and your guests get the most out of your retreat and enable you to learn a bit about Bore Place.

Food

We serve locally sourced food, organically grown or farmed where possible. Our menus are wholesome with many of the vegetables coming from our own organic market garden. Our menus are often plant based but we are also happy to serve carefully selected organic meat as well. We cater for all dietary requirements and are particularly proud of our vegan and vegetarian menus. You are equally very welcome to bring your own cook with you if you prefer. All our accommodation comes with fully equipped kitchens with dishwashers.

The Large Barn

Most large groups staying with us hire our Large Barn which is ideal for group practice and large meetings. Warm, yet spacious with high ceilings and original beams, the barn can easily accommodate 20 people practising yoga and up to 150 people conference style. The barn is equipped with a basic kitchen as well as toilets. It overlooks our courtyard area and is adjacent to the Old Stable.

Testimonials

“

I have been running a yoga retreat at Bore Place for many years. I have stayed in all the accommodations depending on the size of my group and have found every building to have its own special charm. The Large Barn is perfect for practising yoga, it's become a favourite with my group as the atmosphere is very calming. Also, there are great walks in beautiful countryside to choose from between the yoga sessions. We self-cater and have always found the kitchens to be very well equipped.
The staff are wonderful, cater for everything you need, always happy to help. Looking forward to my next stay in July, it's starting to feel like a second home.

I trained as a yoga teacher at Bore Place and it has always held a special place in my heart. As I already live in Kent it seemed an obvious choice. I am now organising my fourth retreat here and do not struggle to sell out. I opt to use the Old Stable and the Large Barn for my retreats and find the venue always to be clean and well-equipped. My clients love the venue as it's quiet and remote and surrounded by lush Kent countryside for some stunning walks. The Large Barn is an impressive room to practice yoga in and the accommodation is warm and comfortable. Many thanks, Bore Place.

Bore Place is a very unique, beautiful, and peaceful space. We ran our retreat at Bore Place House and were incredibly happy with how it went. We had nothing but positive feedback from all who attended and have been asked when the next one is already. The large barn worked perfectly for the yoga and qigong classes as well as our vision board workshop and the kitchenette in there was a very helpful extra utility for our retreat chef. The staff were very responsive, approachable, and helpful and made sure all of our needs were taken care of. We can 100% recommend Bore Place as a retreat venue for anyone and we were so happy that we have decided to hold our wedding there next year.

We have been running retreats at Bore Place for the past few years - at least 2 a year. Our team and our guests absolutely love it here!
The house is very special with the most amazing lounge where new friendships are made. The bedrooms are comfortable and cosy and the large barn is perfect for hosting yoga, meditation and sound baths. All set in the most enchanting grounds, with endless walks to discover. Everything is perfectly set up and managed by the team who are extremely helpful and available if you need anything - nothing is too much trouble. 
We have many returning guests simply due to the love and attention that has gone into the estate - the pure magic of Bore Place!
