Holly Tree Cottage Retreats

Holly Tree Cottage is our own home and we extend a warm welcome to people looking for a quiet space to reconnect with themselves and God, and find rest and peace.

Restful Accommodation
Our traditional Norfolk cottage is in the middle of the village but is a surprisingly peaceful space. There is a small sitting room with a woodburner you are welcome to use, with a large selection of books on spirituality. We have 1 double room and 1 single room available for guests. We don't have any pets.
We provide shared bathroom facilities along  with your own small, private shower room.
A Space for Creativity
Our garden-facing studio, bathed in natural light, is a haven for creativity. Whether you wish to write, paint, pray, or simply find peace, the studio is yours to use. Outside the studio is a small secluded garden with table and chairs.
