Everyone has different needs. Our retreat is personalized to support maximum focus and creativity for your stay.

At The Barn Retreat, our goal is to provide you with a welcoming space — a calm, comfortable setting where you can slow down, reconnect, find that spark of creativity and return feeling recharged.

We have four bedrooms and two shared bathrooms, so we keep the numbers to a comfortable level. If two are happy to share a room, we can increase the numbers as you wish.

The rooms are private and have comfortable beds and chairs. There are also additional indoor and outdoor spaces for a change of scene.

The property and environment are spacious and tranquil, with various opportunities for contemplation. The pool is open from May through October.

We have a driver available for airport pickup/return from Bergerac, Bordeaux, and Toulouse Blagnac.

We serve handmade vegetarian food, focusing on healthy living, using many vegetables picked from our garden.

We are artists who love to discuss the creative process. We are available for structured and spontaneous coaching and conversation, as well as creative sessions on writing, songwriting, reupholstery, and life coaching.

About the Leader

Ian

I love creativity - writing, music, and nature - and use these tools to give myself a sense of life. It's as simple as grabbing a pen or a guitar and expressing an awareness of a moment.
