COST

Price The price of a retreat includes accommodation, meals, relevant course materials, spiritual teaching, and use of the woodlands, gardens and open areas. Full Board includes dinner, bed, breakfast, and lunch. On-site parking is available for all at no extra charge.

Deposit If you are booking more than six weeks ahead of the start date, we will require a £50 deposit in order to secure your place. If booking less than six weeks ahead of the start date, we will require the full amount. Once we are able to confirm your booking, we will then be in touch for the deposit/full payment.

Balance The balance (amount after deposit) is due 6 weeks before your arrival and we contact you with a reminder nearer the time.

PAYMENT METHOD

Payment You can pay by debit/credit card or a cheque/postal order. Alternatively, you can make a bank transfer to sort code 16-00-38 account number 11371954. Please use 'RETREAT' as the reference.

If You Cancel If you wish to cancel, we would appreciate as much notice as possible so that we can give your space to someone else. We regret we cannot refund your deposit, or transfer your deposit to another retreat, unless we are able to fill your place.

If We Cancel If we find it necessary to cancel for any reason, we will give you as much notice as possible and refund your deposit and/or balance. We advise you to take out your own travel insurance in case of any last minute cancellations, particularly if you are coming from abroad, and booking flights and/or hotels.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Vegetarian Ethos All meals are vegetarian and prepared in our main kitchen. We use some organic produce and have a welfare based dairy and egg policy approved by Compassion in World Farming. We also have soya and oat and coconut milk available.

Food Allergies/Intolerances

Please tell us of any food allergies or intolerances you may have. The Lodge is unable to accommodate alternative diet requests without prior agreement.

*Medically diagnosed food allergies Our kitchen is not allergen-free and we cannot exclude the possibility of cross-contamination during food preparation. Therefore if you have a medically diagnosed food allergy we may use bought-in specialist pre-prepared meals. In some circumstances you may wish to bring your own food, which you are welcome to store in our retreat kitchen, where there is a microwave and small fridge provided. There is no access to the main kitchen and please do not bring any meat or fish products.

*Food intolerances When requested, milk alternatives and gluten-free breads will be provided. If you have a food intolerance we will endeavour to provide meals omitting these ingredients. Due to the possibility of these ingredients being used elsewhere in the kitchen we cannot guarantee any dishes are completely ‘free-from’ specific ingredients.
