A retreat is your chance to step aside from life for a while, to rest and just 'be' in a welcoming, peaceful place.

Retreat Centre Description
The Centre is run by IBVM / Loreto Sisters (RC), offering retreats for people of all denominations and none. A variety of ecumenical groups use us for their own programmes. Residential or non-residential conferences may be accommodated with meals provided if required. It may be possible to make an Individually Guided Retreat outside the programmed time, usually on a self-catering basis (please see our website for details).
30-day retreats (full Spiritual Exercises) by private arrangement. Ongoing spiritual direction may also be available.
Accommodation on Offer
The Centre has 24 en-suite rooms, most of which are accessible by lift. All our programmed events are full board. Limited self-catering accommodation is also available. A large fully equipped conference room (Wi-Fi, projector and loop system) can accommodate groups of up to 70 people. We also have a chapel and prayer rooms, a library and lounge (which can be used as meeting rooms), and a dining room for catered groups and individuals.
