Stays and retreats
Norfolk Retreats & Countryside Stays
A gentle invitation to step away from the busyness of everyday life for a peaceful bespoke countryside stay, private retreat, or slower restorative break designed to help you slow down, rest deeply, reconnect with nature, and remember the feeling of home within yourself.
Whether you're seeking solitude, creative space, quiet reflection, or simply a few days of being cared for, you'll find a warm welcome waiting for you here in the Norfolk countryside.
If you are planning a retreat, start with our Norfolk retreats page. If you are comparing accommodation, explore guest house stays to see how a quieter countryside break differs from a retreat-led stay.

“Home house such a lovely place I volunteered here for a few days each week during the summer I learned so much from how to plant seedlings to how to harvest produce. Eating throughout the day was so rewarding and satisfying to know that most of the things on my plate came from the farm it was amazing can’t wait to go back!”

“I recently attended the 2-day weekend hempcrete course with Graham Durrant. The course blew me away and Graham’s deep knowledge of the science of building a well-performing building was evident as he gladly answered all the burning questions we had to ask him about hempcrete.”

“I had a hijama/cupping treatment with Hawa and it was incredibly nurturing and exactly what I needed. I felt like I was in good hands and that I could totally relax and trust Hawa, in fact I fell asleep. The setting is very peaceful and beautiful.”

The Softening of the Body, the Heart and the Soul : when Hardness Becomes a Way of Being
Have you ever noticed how hard we can become? Hard in our bodies. Hard in our words. Hard in our opinions. Hard in our behaviour. Hard in the invisible walls we build around our hearts.
Love is the collateral of a life lived fully.
10 years ago, when my 17 year relationship and marriage ended...it felt like I had lost a limb. Along my journey to heal and somehow return to wholeness from what felt broken and shattered inside of me, I made a commitment to love harder than any other emotion.
