Held at the stunning Boconnoc Estate, which is situated just outside of Lostwithiel, our retreats really are going to be an escape where you will spend your time crafting, relaxing and having fun. The house, cottage and grounds at Boconnoc Estate are stunning and you will have time to explore the grounds at your own pace.
