Retreat Centre Description
We are a community of Bernardine Cistercian nuns who live according to the Rule of St Benedict, seeking God as a monastic community in prayer, work and a spirit of simplicity and silence.

You are welcome to join us for the daily celebrations of Mass and sung Divine Office and to enjoy the peace and beauty of the Cotswolds.
