Hope Haven Retreat, self-catering home from home - Come and be refreshed!

Hope Haven is a Christian retreat with a God given vision to provide stillness and space for peace, refreshment and restoration. A welcome escape for those with busy lives and hectic schedules or just an opportunity to spend time in the midst of the countryside in the Presence of God. The retreat nestles in 3 acres of grounds, over looking uninterrupted views of woodland, fields and wildlife. Whatever the season, whatever the weather, this beautiful area offers peace and quiet and an opportunity to relax, be still and recharge the batteries!
​
Hope Haven is perfect for private, personal retreat, and is also ideal for away days, courses, meetings or just somewhere to spend time with friends.

A True Haven

I stayed at Hope Haven for a couple of weeks while working and it was the perfect retreat after work with peace quiet and nature around. The vision that the owners Clare and Peter have for the place is amazing and to see it manifesting is inspiring. They are two of the kindest and friendliest people I’ve met and were helpful and accommodating. I would definitely recommend a stay here.

It feels like Heaven

It was so beautiful and perfect. Every detail was so thought out and looked so good. We enjoyed every single moment there and we didn’t feel the need to go sightseeing as it was so cozy and relaxing. You could hear the birds singing in the morning and the rooster crowing. Claire and Peter are beautiful people with golden hearts. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Komfortabel und ruhig

Ein sehr schönes und komfortabel eingerichteter Bungalow in wunderbar ruhiger Umgebung. Küche sehr gut ausgestattet, Bett äußerst komfortabel, bequeme Draußen- Sitzplätze. Die Landschaft ist eben und nicht so spektakulär, aber die Unterkunft trotzdem wegen der ruhigen und ländlichen Umgebung ein sehr anheimelnder, friedlicher Ort.

Delightful and therapeutic.

I fell in love with the place and it’s beautiful surroundings as soon as I arrived, so did my friend. I couldn’t fault the place, it was so cosy and clean and it had a lovely feel to it. It has a real sense of serenity about it. The Hosts were amazing too, really nice people and they made sure everything was perfect, they were warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. I will be back again and I will definitely recommend it to others too. It would be great to stay sometime in the winter too. The village overall is also beautiful and worth exploring.

Lovely location in a tranquil setting.

Without doubt one of the best places we have ever stayed if not the best. Met by the lovely hosts on arrival and showed around the spotlessly clean bungalow which has everything you need for your stay. Local village a few minutes drive away with shops and pubs but it is so peaceful it was difficult to tear yourself away.
