Welcome to Ocean Retreats
There's something soothing about being near the ocean. The constant move of the water, the changing colours and intensities of the waves and the sunlight sparkling on the surface. It all invokes a sense of peace and wonder and we would love to share those special places with you and your loved ones for a retreat away from every day life.
Would you like to wake up to a glorious sunrise or have evening drinks watching the sunset over the ocean? Well, at Cliff House in South Devon and Shark Fin in Cornwall, you can do both.

We had a most excellent stay at Sharkfin – lovely views on the bay and in a great location for doing a circular walk to Lands End, without any steep hills. We were even lucky enough to see the Northern Lights.

What a wonderful place – feels like you’re in the sea! Opening the window in the morning with the sun streaming in & the sound of the waves, perfect. Loved everything, the walks, the pub, the waves, the rain. Thank you for letting us stay in such a special house xx
