If you want time on your own, away from your daily life, individual retreats can be arranged, especially mid-week.

The basic cost is £100 (full board and fees) per 24hrs. To some extent, and for individual retreats, this is negotiable. We can customise your retreat and individually tailor the programme to suit your requirements and the length of your stay. Massage and other bodywork therapies can be added on if planned in advance.
