Large group houses sleeping up to 34, perfect for wellbeing and other retreats, team building events and family get togethers
Holiday Rental for Groups of Families and Friends. Sheldon Retreat, Doddiscombsleigh, Exeter, Devon, sleeps 6 - 34 in 18 bedrooms.
Sheldon is a mature retreat where we have been hosting guests for over 50 years. It is ideally suited for groups of adults looking for a quiet getaway for a retreat, education, team building, wellbeing opportunities or other activities. You might also enjoy it for relaxed family gatherings or as a base for walking in the local area.
A small community lives on site, always available in the background if you need us, but staying out of your way if you don't.
The setting is a characterful traditional farmyard cluster around a thatched courtyard. Rooms are light and airy with modern services as everything is either new build or fully refurbished in the last 10Â years or so. Large terraces make the most of the views across the valley. Sheldon is set within its own fields and woodlands and opens onto lots of local footpaths and quiet country lanes.
Sheldon's 2 main buildings can be booked separately or together:
- The Long Barn (8 twin/doubles, 1 single, sleeps 9-17, large communal sitting room, sunny terrace). Use the Long Barn kitchen and dining room for groups up to 25
- The Pound House (5 twin and 1 small single, sleeps 6 - 11, 2 sitting rooms, sunny terrace). Use the Pound House kitchen and dining room for groups 25 - 34 using both buildings, or for small groups using Pound House only
