OUR GUEST PERFORMER THIS YEAR  to be announced

I've been before - just take me to register

Tucked into the foothills of snowdonia, overlooking the beach you can discover amazing peace, quiet and enchantment.

The overwhelmingly impressive thing about this venue is the absolute silence, broken only by the hourly chiming of a clock, the breeze rustling through the trees or the lapping of the sea .

Mainly single room accommodation the old house is quaint and cosy, the extensive grounds are a rustic thrill with a suprise around every corner.

P1010507 Early morning meditation around the fountain (everything is optional)  

Going for a walk in the grounds means meandering up hills and down again and probably losing your way along the way.  Memories of yesteryear around every corner retained.

 Climb up to the top of the hill for wonderful views of the beach and the amazing Welsh coastline.  Walk down to the quiet and expansive beach and experience the purifying health benefits of the ozone as we practice yoga  on the beach.

The grounds are packed with inviting corners to quietly meditate including two labyrinths and a fountain.  Our early morning meditations round the fountain have become a must do for some whilst others prefer a lie in before breakfast

What better place to practice yoga than in the peaceful stone walled chapel if weather prevents  the beach or the lawns (though it can be quite pleasant in light rain).

Amazingly these tranquil weekends away with nothing to do except relax and indulge can really  revitalise and refresh your raison d'etre, feeling more like a week away than a weekend.

Home cooked vegetarian food is served throughout the weekend*.

The privacy of single accommodation is available to all with a small number of twin or double rooms for friends/couples to share.

Singing and mantra is just part of the weekend
