Pilates Holidays and Pilates Retreats

Boswell Farm is the perfect place from which to launch your holiday in the glorious West Country, as well as join in with the pilates courses and classes that are on offer.

We are within easy reach of the beautiful beaches and dramatic coastlines, the rolling Devon countryside with its woodlands and quaint villages, and the wild splendour of Dartmoor. Boswell is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Linda Macaulay has been instructing Pilates for 26 years and first came into contact with Pilates in 1985 and found that this form of exercise completely encapsulated all her beliefs about fitness, the Mind Body connection and the ensuing ongoing health of both body and mind. Her daughter Kirstin Larby has also been teaching for 7 years at Boswell.
