Ideal for groups of up to 8, Collective Retreat has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms spread throughout the house, studio and garden cottage.

"My Vision? A bright, white space with cosy corners and inspiring workplaces, eye-catching crafts and one-off pieces of art that light up the creative areas of your mind. I wanted the bedrooms to be cool, calm sanctuaries and the kitchen to be a hub that encouraged laughter, chatter and late-night discussions." - Lisa Messenger, Owner
