Our Location

Our beautiful 173 acre site is nestled in the countryside. Both of our wellbeing retreat centres sit on this same land, but each has a separate entrance, so please be sure which centre you're coming to before you set off:

Farmhouse retreat Centre includes:

THE Farmhouse,
rettig,
Deer Cottage, Swallow's Nest
& our Yurt
hermitage retreat centre Includes:

The Hermitage,
monks hatch,
library barn,
Tiny Boat
& our Campsite


Please check your route before you travel because the roads are windy and phone signal can drop in and out.

Our address is:
42 Acres
Holt Road
Witham Friary
Frome
BA11 5HL


But, it's best not to use our postcode because it'll take you in between our 2 entrances. Please search "42 Acres" or "The Hermitage" instead. By far the best way to find us is using the free What3words app. It gives very precise locations and works with most SatNav apps.
