Description

Nestled in the heart of the Peak District, our retreat centre offers 30 rooms accommodating up to 74 guests, with a mix of ensuite and non-ensuite options. Designed for rest, reflection, and connection, the centre provides two versatile group spaces: a large hall for up to 80 people and a smaller, intimate room for up to 30. Step outside to rolling hills and scenic walks, or linger in our peaceful grounds, where quiet corners and beautifully maintained flower borders invite contemplation and calm.

Our remote location and total absence of noise pollution make the centre ideal for silent retreats, offering a true sanctuary from the demands of everyday life.
