I can only echo everyone’s comments on how beautiful this place is.
The location, facilities and the amazing staff who make the whole experience what it is.
I had an amazing time and will certainly be back.

God has been present as I gently unwind and receive his love.
Thank you to all the team for demonstrating his love with your gifts and responsibilities.
It has been a lovely peaceful time, learning more and having time to discuss ideas.

Loved the personal welcome note in the bedroom,
loved the genuine warmth of staff, loved the quiet,
peaceful tone of the place,
loved the incredible thoughtfulness given to the garden space,
benches, garden rooms with blankets.
