Recommendations for the Retreat Centre
Thank you for making this beautiful place available for retreats.
I truly enjoyed my stay, I came away feeling fully peaceful and refreshed.
The house is so welcoming, I felt very much at home, with the beautiful rooms, cosy nooks to rest up and books to explore.
I was taken by the many framed tapestries in the house, I wonder who did all that needlework!
The kitchen is great to cook in and I loved sitting by the fire on Sunday morning with a good tea and nourishing breakfast.
There’s so much to see outside, it’s perfect for a silent retreat or contemplative walk. I love the majestic trees and the many different seats to sit and be. I look forward to returning.
Thank you to all at Peacemakers for the time and love you have put into this special place.
Blessings Norma
