Claridge House

The house had a warm, calming feel, and I liked having a balance of quiet time for reflection and chances to chat with the other guests. There’s a well-stocked library, where I found a good book about healing and started reading it. I’ve just come back from a three-night personal retreat. The accommodation was spotless, the staff welcoming, and the food delicious. Meals were served three times a day, with cake at 4pm, and tea was available whenever you wanted. The guests were lovely and friendly. I’d definitely recommend Claridge House for a personal retreat.

Claridge House is a Quaker House focused on wellbeing, with space to reflect, recharge and relax, so it’s different from a standard BnB. I had Reiki while I was there, and enjoyed the peaceful house, lovely gardens and delicious vegetarian food. My five-day Personal Retreat was followed by three nights BnB. Merry, the wonderful Manager, and her great team did everything they could to make the whole stay memorable. Thank you 💞

Looking out at the lovely garden while we did gentle yoga and creative writing exercises was such a treat. Kate guided the workshop wonderfully, and the morning ended with a delicious homecooked vegetarian lunch. I left feeling revived and grateful. I joined the half-day Yoga and Creative Writing workshop a few days ago and absolutely loved it. Claridge House has a beautiful, welcoming energy, and it feels like getting a warm hug whenever I walk in. The session was really relaxing and insightful. I’d highly recommend Claridge House and its offerings. I’ll book again soon!

I really enjoyed the Qigong Shibashi course over the weekend. Claridge House is peaceful and welcoming, and my room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. I chose the vegan food, which was delicious. Very good value for money, and I’d thoroughly recommend it.
