Eden Rise Retreat Venue – a haven for wellbeing

The Albion Room is a bright large space suitable for your workshops, classes and events. The room opens out into the back terrace and has a small kitchenette on one side for making food and drinks. The large high beams give the hall character and airiness.

The Hayloft Hall in the West barn is a workspace and lounge area leading out to the back terrace, with three double sofa beds and futon seating. This hall can be converted into another dorm room with bathroom facilities are on the same floor.

Eden Rise has the following accommodation spaces:
– Two secluded bell tents erected on our grassy terraces, with small double futon beds (unavailable from May-Sept).
– Two camping spaces from Nov-April
– One small single room with small double bed.
– Three twin rooms with single beds on the first floor.
– One room with four single beds on the ground floor, leading out to the courtyard garden.
– Dorm room with separate sleeping pods on the ground floor (two pods with twin beds and two pods with small double beds), with two terrace doors leading out to the courtyard garden.

The separate sauna facility is a great way to relax after a longs days workshop, powered by an electric sauna and with the extra option to use a woodburner for extra heat (but not essential), with a large changing area and enclosed shower cubicle.

Unfortunately at present the building is unable to offer suitable wheelchair access.

We are constantly improving our green journey and have invested in this with the provision of the following: Our building runs on solar panels and green energy suppliers; Fresh filtered water is produced from our on-site borehole, it contains no chlorine or other additives; Hot water, a thermal eco-solar and electric system, provides a regular supply to meet everyone’s needs; Underfloor heating is installed throughout the building; Solar panels produce electricity for the venue and grid; Sustainable products are used for housekeeping; Recycling collection points are onsite and we Compost all our food waste and garden material.

We will continue to monitor our energy and water usage, purchase of consumables, research and learn about environmental problems and ways we can help solve them.
