Wide open skies, star-filled nights, mountain vistas, acres of meadow and orchard...
Sanctum Retreats, is nestled at the borders of England and Wales on a once working hillside farm. Set in 10-acres of garden, meadows, and orchard, against the stunning backdrop of The Golden Valley and Black Mountains, it is the perfect place for peaceful retreat.
Unlike larger retreat centres, our retreat accommodation offers guests the opportunity for a totally private stay away from it all. The Fold retreat's simple design is a cosy self-catering modern space for an individual or couple sharing, with all the comforts of home.
Guests quickly find they can easily relax surrounded by the beauty and abundance of the 360 degree views of lovely countryside.
Founder, Tina Jefferies, is an experienced retreat leader, writer, and published author particularly on subjects of solitary retreat, personal and professional growth and development. She practices and teaches meditation, and offers guests developmental and spiritual mentoring.
Whether you are looking to take a private solitary retreat, or prefer a guided retreat experience, flexible choices are available to suit your needs. Please get in touch to discuss.
We are ideally located for exploring this fascinating ancient landscape, towns, villages, hills and highways of the Welsh Marches, with many historic sites, gardens, mountains, vineyard, and notable Knights Templar Church, all within easy reach from the farm, including world famous ancient Mappa Mundi and Chained Library at Hereford Cathedral.
Several scenic walks are accessible from the farm gate, including nationally recognised walking trails:

St Thomas Way;
Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons);
Open throughout the year,
excluding Christmas and New Year.
