2019: New Year, New Improvements

The Monastic Webmaster • January 6, 2019

Working is going on to improve our guest facilities

Our Winter project is to redecorate the Kemble Room , our Retreat Conference Room. The lighting is over 60 years old and was not designed for its current use, the wooden floor is being re-sanded and varnished and we have bought more comfortable chairs. The blinds will also be replaced. We cannot fund these easily from our normal income and endeavour to keep our retreat fees as low as we can, so if you are able to help in any way it would be most appreciated.

The Hedley Lodge Reception is also being refurbished with new flooring and we hope to have easier access through new doors. Our guesthouse is used for retreats and groups visiting as well as more widely by those working in, or visiting the area.

We hope you like what you see, and come to visit us in 2019!

If you are able to make a DONATION , any support and help towards these costs would be greatly appreciated.
