Property 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. Making an IGR outside the programmed time may be possible, 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
We have 25 en-suite rooms, most of which are accessible by lift. All our programmed events are full-board. Limited self-catering accommodation is also available (please see our website for details). 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, as well as a library and lounge (which can be used as meeting rooms) and a dining room for catered groups and individuals.
