Peaceful Retreats in Cornwall Shaped with Warmth and Care
Retreats in Cornwall have a certain softness to them. The coastline quietens your thoughts. The sea air slows your pace. The gentle light along the water brings a feeling of calm that settles in the moment you arrive. At Rowes Retreats, we create stays that hold this calm, offering warm, cared for homes where you can rest, breathe and reconnect with what matters.
Each retreat is chosen for the way it feels. Some look out across the sea with views that change as the tide moves. Some sit in peaceful lanes surrounded by greenery. Others rest near harbourside paths or tucked away corners filled with stillness. What they all share is a quiet, welcoming atmosphere that helps guests unwind naturally.
As a small family run company, we prepare each retreat with thoughtful care. Clean, soft spaces. Gentle touches. A sense of warmth the moment you step inside. Whether you come for rest, connection or simply to enjoy the beauty of Cornwall, you will find a place that feels right for you.

Retreats in Cornwall for Couples, Families and Restful Escapes
Cornwall welcomes every kind of traveller. Couples arrive seeking quiet moments and peaceful views. Families come for soft beaches, outdoor adventures and warm evenings. Solo travellers come to reset, breathe more slowly and enjoy the space around them. Many guests bring dogs, creating retreats that include every member of the family.
Our retreats offer the flexibility and comfort to suit all these different styles. Some offer gardens for morning coffee. Some offer reading corners filled with soft light. Others are framed by sea views that make each day feel a little gentler.
Whether you plan to walk the coast, explore villages or simply rest, our retreats give you the space to enjoy Cornwall in the way that feels right for you.
