Exclusive Use Retreats

A private countryside retreat designed around you – complete privacy, total flexibility.

At The Mole Resort, we offer more than meeting rooms and event spaces – we offer the keys to the whole place. With our Exclusive Use corporate packages, you and your team can take over the entire estate: luxury lodges, Manor House rooms, restaurants, leisure facilities, and 125 acres of stunning North Devon countryside.

It’s total privacy, complete flexibility, and five-star service – with no outside guests and a team dedicated solely to you. Whether you’re planning a board-level off-site, leadership retreat, or an incentive escape, this is where real connection and fresh thinking happen.

Make The Mole Resort your own. Speak to our team about exclusive hire and let’s create a private retreat that’s purposeful, playful, and entirely unforgettable.

Why Book Exclusive Use?

Total Privacy for Your Team - From confidential strategy sessions to celebratory evenings, enjoy full access to meeting rooms, bars, dining areas and outdoor spaces – all without interruption.
All Access, All Yours - With exclusive hire, your group gets full use of resort amenities – the pool, spa, tennis courts, trails, and fitness classes. Want an early morning yoga session or a late-night BBQ? Just say the word.
Flexible Event Spaces - Host your main sessions in the Valley Suite, break out in garden marquees, or turn a lodge into a brainstorming den. Our venues flex around your agenda – not the other way around.
Luxury Accommodation - With over 98 bedrooms with varying options, we can accommodate large groups comfortably on-site (up to 300 guests in single occupancy) – no shuttles, no stress. Each space is beautifully appointed, with countryside views and private spaces to relax.
Bespoke Dining & Experiences - Craft your own culinary journey – from craft cocktails and canapés on arrival to private dining, themed dinners, or barbecues under the stars. Our chefs create menus that showcase the best of Devon’s produce.
Activities On Your Schedule - Build in team-building sessions or downtime whenever it suits. Axe throwing before lunch? A relaxing swim and sauna break after your strategy session? Stargazing and hot chocolate to close the day? It’s all possible – and just for you.

We look to bring the whole team together once a year to collaborate, learn, review, and plan. The main aim is always to make stronger connections, team build, and enjoy each other’s company. When the opportunity arose to have our retreat held at The Mole Resort, we jumped at the chance.

From start to finish, the planning, pre-communication, and the service we received during our stay was superb. The attention to detail and culture at The Mole Resort stood out to me, and I would highly recommend the resort as a venue for any business. The range of options and activities available, and the quality of the accommodation, food, and service genuinely provides a top experience. The whole team thoroughly enjoyed their stay, and many are keen to return personally with friends and family.
