Looking for a peaceful getaway? Step away from everyday life in a beautiful Cotswold stone farmhouse, and rest, reflect and spend time together with the cooking taken care of.

Smaller groups can have Lower Farm House, the old farmhouse on site, to themselves: it sleeps up to 14, with an open fire, cosy rooms and a private garden. Larger groups have Wellspring, with 18 en-suite rooms around a lounge with an inglenook fireplace. Leadership teams use the large lounge for informal meetings.

Food

Our kitchen team has years of experience cooking for groups: roasts, summer barbecues and salads, homemade cakes and biscuits, and a dessert menu that people come back for. Everything is prepared fresh on site, and a lighter menu is available. Let us know about any dietary needs and we’ll cater for them.

Activities

Add an activity or two to your retreat: archery, canoeing, paddleboarding, climbing, bushcraft, hiking and more, run by Adventure Plus on site. See all activities.

We have a supportive Christian ethos and are happy to include an evening thought for your group.

Around the site

Walk the fields, paths and woodland from the door, or stroll into Clanfield, where there are two pubs and Blake’s award-winning bakery. The River Thames is within walking distance and the Cotswolds are a short drive away.

What guests say

Our church of 40 people has used [the venue] for our weekend away three times over the last 5 years. We’ve always had a good experience: the facilities suit a mixed group with families, couples and single people. The bedrooms are clean, simple and comfortable. The large lounge area has been perfect for our informal style of meetings… We always have a warm welcome from the team, and we recommend them for other groups looking for a weekend venue.

Harlesden Community Church, April 2026

Just got back from taking a group of 60 adults, youth and kids here for a weekend away. What a fantastic location! The bedrooms were really comfortable (with good disabled facilities and access)… the lounge, barn and hall were excellent for our different age groups, and the dining hall was spacious and welcoming. The staff were friendly, and led the outdoor and indoor activities with warmth and professionalism. And the food was fantastic: even the ‘lite’ menu was generous and delicious.
