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

Notes
Tinhay Retreats offers retreats and spiritual direction. Set in an old farmhouse with 15 acres of peaceful gardens, meadows, ponds and pasture. The lovingly tended garden is affiliated to the Quiet Garden Movement. In addition, there are several acres of wildflower meadow, an old orchard area, a camping field and pasture for a small flock of sheep. We offer a prayerful space for individuals and groups (up to 20). We are open to people of all denominations and none. Themed day retreats are available throughout the year and our snowdrop planting days are popular. For those looking for longer retreats, a quiet campsite is available within the grounds – just bring your own tent/caravan/motorhome. Alternatively, B&B facilities are available at Tinhay Mill, which is a 15-min walk from Tinhay Retreats. There is good access from the A30. The nearest railway station is at Okehampton.
