Our UK Venues

We used Noddfa, Penmaenmawr for the first time for the 2017 New Year and we've had fabulous feedback ever since, particularly about the nuns - they are so very hospitable, and the food - filling and tasty, just like Grandma would make! Added to that, in the winter the house is warm and we always have the place to ourselves, so plenty of room to move around. We have the sea out in front and the mountains behind us, hugging us. We loved it, so we're really happy it's become a regular venue.

Noddfa is a place of rest and reflection, it's a huge old house in a beautiful setting. It's a quirky and peaceful place to be.

The nuns are happy to meet people arriving on the local Penmaenmawr trains (that's how gorgeous they are).

The Nightingale Centre is a purpose-built retreat centre situated in the Peak District with a combination of single, twin and double ensuite and non-ensuite rooms all for sole occupancy.

The Earthbeat Centre in Saltburn is a beautiful old building - a converted school, in fact. Home to all sorts of wonderment. We're very happy to have a regular spot from which to offer half day retreats, meditation sessions, one to ones and whatever else turns up and takes our fancy. The space is small but perfectly formed. It's a 12 min walk from the station and a 12 min walk to the seafront.
It may be worth coming to spend a weekend in Saltburn, it has plenty going for it in the form of little independent shops, cafes and a fabulous beachfront and pier.
Please note that there 14 steps up to the room.
