Charity Farm
Country comfort beneath starry skies
A farmhouse retreat can feel more like a shared country home than an institutional venue, and Charity Farm’s welcoming rooms make that the point. Set among the Black Mountains, the five-bedroom property combines open fires and a home cinema with spacious gardens and a wood-fired hot tub and sauna. The outdoor facilities are especially appealing after dark, when the rural setting brings out the starry skies. Four bedrooms can be arranged as twin or double rooms, and each bedroom has its own bathroom or washroom, making the house suited to small groups as well as retreat gatherings. Charity Farm is a venue for retreats rather than a place with a stated house tradition or fixed daily practice. The retreat organizer sets the program, so the experience may differ between stays. It’s a comfortable base for a restorative few days, with the details of sessions, meals and group arrangements best confirmed when booking.
