A place to unwind, heal and learn

Retreats & Courses

La Volée is a nurturing and inspiring venue for small group retreats and courses, whether therapeutic, creative, or practical. Our herd of friendly horses is a big part of life at La Volée –  we love our visitors to enjoy and interact with them, and benefit from their therapeutic qualities.

We offer our self-catering farmhouse accommodation, seminar spaces and use of the land to group leaders wishing to run their own programmes, and we also lead some retreats ourselves.  

 

Venue Hire

If you would like to book accommodation and facilities at La Volée for your event we will be happy to welcome you and your guests. The farmhouse, studio and yurt are available for hire separately or together. You will be also be able to use the valley, ponds and woodland. If your event is open to the public, we can advertise it on the website, mention it on our blog and FaceBook page, and send details to our contacts. 

Holidays

The farmhouse is available for self catering holiday rental. It is ideal for groups of friends, and families with older children. (We love dogs and children but they will be accepted at our discretion due to the presence of free-roaming horses.) We can also offer working holidays, with a lower cost rental in exchange for a variety of help on the land. In fact some of our guests have found that physical work in a beautiful environment is the best way to relax!

Accommodation

Our guest accommodation consists of a traditional stone farmhouse with five bedrooms, suitable for groups of up to 12 adults (group leaders may also have use of a room in Erica’s house if available). There is also a small caravan, and guests may pitch a tent on the land. Workshop facilities include a small converted barn with upstairs studio for groups of up to twenty, and a yurt which is available for meditation and healing.

Horse Activities

The horse or domestic horse is a domesticated one-toed hoofed mammal. It belongs to the taxonomic family Equidae and is one of two extant species in the subgenus Equus. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today
