Our facilities:
Accommodation and Services
We can accommodate up to 24 guests in comfortable high standard accommodation,
including single, double/twin and family rooms with mostly en-suite
facilities. We can stretch our bed space to 27 for dormitory style
retreats. Additional services include the use of our in-house sauna
as well as retreat coaching, massages and complementary therapy sessions
by prior arrangement.
The Meditation Hall (8.1 x 6.7 m = 54 m2)
and The Ballroom (8.6 x 8.1 m = 70 m2)
The Meditation Hall is characterised by a traditional Tibetan Buddhist
set up, featuring a beautiful altar with many holy objects. The room
also has a natural wooden floor and a prominent fireplace for toasty
fires during your sessions.
The Ballroom has a natural wooden floor and large south-facing bay
windows with stunning views onto the Findhorn Bay. It is a glorious
space that lends itself perfectly to concerts, dancing, bodywork or
as an overflow meditation area.
For maximum flexibility, the Meditation Hall and Ballroom are separated
by two large sliding doors, so you can choose to work in a large open
space, create a more intimate space, or even split your group into
two rooms.
Seminar Room (5.4 x 5 m = 27 m2)
Decked Terrace (12.6 x 8.6 m = 108 m2)
Our upstairs seminar room incorporates a Buddhist library and is well-suited
to smaller retreats, informal gatherings, reading and relaxation,
as well as healing and counselling sessions. The room has exclusive
access to a large south-facing decked terrace, making this an ideal
space for outdoor group activities. There is an attractive pond with
a fountain in the middle of the terrace, and the views over the Findhorn
Bay Nature Reserve are breathtaking.
