RESIDENTIAL RETREATS

Allanton Peace Sanctuary is intentionally an intimate retreat space, allowing us to welcome a maximum of 12 people at any one time.

Accommodation is provided in our beautiful Japondi styled twin rooms, with shared bathroom and shower facilities, helping us to retain the quiet, spacious and peaceful character of the sanctuary, and the heritage of the house.

Time at Allanton is intended to be a gentle communal living experience rather than a conventional B&B or hotel stay. We invite guests to share the sanctuary with care and consideration - respecting shared spaces, connecting with others where it feels natural, spending time in nature, and helping us maintain a simple Leave No Trace approach. 

It is an invitation to live a little more consciously and collectively for a while, whilst still retaining plenty of space for quiet, presence and reflection.

What IS INCLUDED
