Tara-Ling Retreat Hut

Tara-Ling retreat hut is occasionally available for solitary retreat.

The hut has a small wood-burner with kindling supplied and baskets of logs kept under cover on the terrace. Inside is a shrine table, a desk, an armchair and a hand-carved wooden bed.

Outside, there is an out-door semi-covered kitchen with electric hob, small oven and cupboards for storing food. Cups, bowls, pots, pans and cutlery are all provided. The table and chairs on the terrace overlook the garden.

The stone hut is next to the woods and above the stream, and is available for full or semi-retreat for between 2 and 10 days. The hut has electricity, and a standpipe for running water behind the outside wall.

There is a composting loo with an out-door wash-stand near to the retreat hut, and guests may use the bathroom in the main house for showers at pre-arranged times.

There is no wifi, and the area is kept smoking, alcohol and noise free, maintaining the natural tranquility, and a replenishing atmosphere for the benefit of everyone staying.

Please note there is no mobile signal in the valley, however calls can be made higher up the hill on either side of the creek; there is a land-line available on request.

Dedicated to Tara, female Buddha of Compassion, Tara-Ling means Tara’s Place: the green of the valley echoing Tara’s promise.

Rates for hire of the retreat hut per night: £30
