Thank you for the most incredible retreat…
I just wanted to say thank you again for a wonderful stay at Erth - as you could probably tell we were reluctant to leave !
It’s such a special place and your hospitality was exceptional.
We’ll be back…if you’ll have us !
Katherine May- Author - Writers Retreat - October 2024
We LOVED our stay at Erth and you went above and beyond to make us feel at home.
Everyone gasped when they came over that hill and saw the view and as I said when we arrived it's even better in real life than the photos !
What a wonder place you and Polly have created and what an amazing location. Everyone was singing your praises and gushing about Erth.
Thanks again for looking after us and for being generally awesome - lol. I will recommend you to all my yoga teacher friends.
The group are already asking about next year…..

The chapel is the most special place I have ever practised or taught yoga, the space feels so held - we held dynamic yoga, restorative yoga sessions; gong bath; crystal healing sessions and it worked for all of them.
The guests cried, they laughed and we already have people booking back again for next year ! The team here have been really incredible, always on hand to help us, the views are insane, especially being here in the UK, not having to fly to have the sea close by, the wild water swimming, the flowers are incredible, I didn’t stop taking photos, the wild flowers are so special. I can’t recommend Erth enough, and I can’t wait to be back.

Erth offered the most stunning location for my retreat. I was looking for a venue where I knew my clients would feel relaxed and away from it all. Erth was perfect for this. The space worked perfectly for my group and the Chapel really was a WOW factor.
How often do you get to practice yoga in a 12th Century Chapel?!
The unique location offers the opportunity for paddle boarding and wild swims just a short walk along the footpath.
There was really no need to leave Erth as it's stunning location is worth exploring.
Polly and Shaun are the perfect hosts and I can't wait to return in 2025. I have already sold 75% of my spots as so many of my clients want to return!"

I’m sure you know how special Erth is, but I just wanted to tell you how special you are. Because of you both, Erth has a magical quality about it. It is totally loved and that can be felt, even as you arrive, there is Magic and love in the land and in air.
The house is so beautiful and so well appointed, I think my favourite room is the lounge with its beautiful big plump, sofas and that amazing fire, it has welcoming arms, like a big hug at the end of the day.
The energy in the 12th century chapel was incredible, it was such a beautiful sacred Space. I loved holding space in there and the Yurt, which was a good distance away from the house, it’s a good idea to be a little removed while having our healing sessions and worked perfectly.
Our whole adventure at Erth was magical, the dreamy views, walks and early morning swims, everything and the delicious food was something else!
Being on the peninsula away from everyone, and everything, we all felt that they had been away for much longer than five days.
Thank you for being there in the background, making sure everything was done for us and we had everything we needed.
I loved Erth so much that I’ve booked it for two retreats next year, I can’t wait to return to this heavenly part of Cornwall once again.
Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.

Erth exceeded my expectations! It is impossible to capture the magic of this space in pictures. It has a strong energy and is to be expected with the beautiful history behind it.
The chapel is the most sacred space I have ever stepped foot in, it was simply stunning and we felt held every time we gathered in it.
The house is absolutely beautiful! Each room has its own unique style and all the decor is of a high quality. Although the house is historic it feels luxurious too, the perfect balance. Every window you look out of you see the most serene views! It really is magical. With no public footpaths and surrounded by nature everywhere you turn, it really allows you to reconnect with Mother Earth and let go of the chaos of society.
The walks were incredible, the cold water swims, the sunsets and sunrises! Every part of Erth is truly divine! I feel so grateful to have found this space and cannot wait to be back there next year.
Oh, and of course Shaun, & Polly are amazing, they are professional but also warm, welcoming and very helpful!
Just what you need when facilitating a retreat.
— Star Jones- Yoga Teacher & Life Coach - October 2024
Something really special happens when we step outside of our routine, when we join together in community, bonding in nature, moving deeper into our practice. Connections forge, memories are made and a lot of healing happens. There was so much joy to be had over the last 4 days on our retreat @erthretreat. So much magic in this special place.
Thank you Shaun and Polly for the magic.

“What a beautiful nook of the world Shaun and Polly have brought to life. It's always a good sign when your heart aches a little at leaving...A huge shoutout to Kate (and thank you Shaun for connecting us) for being an actual magician of nourishment on our retreat. We felt supported and nourished on so many levels. Our guests got so very much out of their time at Erth, and Shaun and Polly have clearly put so much care into creating the conditions for enchantment. People are already asking when they can book the next one! -Mali, Rest & Replenish, November 2024”

"From the moment you arrive at ERTH you know you’re in for a treat.
The setting, views and ambience of the house is truly magical.
Both the chapel and the yurt offer contrasting, inviting space for yoga, meditation & relaxation.
This retreat centre has been created with love by Polly and Shaun - you’re guaranteed to leave more wholehearted than you arrived.
Robyn Silverton - Holistic Health & Yoga Instructor - September 2024
Thank you for opening up Erth to my Art journaling group. It was such a magical experience.
Where do I even start?
The spectacular views, stunning sunsets, the simple joy of breathing in pure fresh air, being in nature, and the abundance of the landscape all around were all so nourishing and inspiring.
To be able to teach and create together inside the 12th century chapel was the highlight of my retreat .
Its a memory that will stay with me forever.
Thank you once again to you and Polly for welcoming us to Erth.
I look forward to returning.

Thank you so much for your generous hosting of our group!
We could not have imagined a more magical space for our time on retreat.
Thank you for sharing your passion for Erth with us…
Until our next trip to Erth.
Vanessa Zoltan - Common Ground Pilgrimages - Harry Potter May 2024
Beautifully restored property with loads of character, amazing location with peaceful walks to explore and delicious healthy food - all complemented by warm, caring hospitality.
In our ten years organising yoga retreats, it's rare to find all these qualities in one place.
Shaun and Polly have something very special at ERTH.
— Emma Bridge & Elisa De Grey - Yoga Retreat Leaders - August 2024
What a truly special space you have got there. I think it felt so precious for all of us to be somewhere that was so cut off from other people, yet felt so safely held by the nature that surrounded us. Many of us came from London and so having the big skies, beautiful fox gloves and the water running around us just soothed our souls and made us remember what was important in life.
The chapel is truly a special space and it felt a privilege to be allowed (almost allowed by the spirits of the chapel) to add our humble energy to the energy of others who have gathered there over hundreds of years.
— Anna Taylor - Mindfulness Yoga - Yoga On The Lane - May 2024
Thank you again.
Erth Barton is truly a very special sanctuary.
