Rivendell Buddhist retreat centre is a beautiful former Victorian rectory with lovely gardens in a great location for walks. This was my first retreat in October after several years going to Croydon Buddhist Centre and I wish I did it sooner. It has simple accommodation with basic showers, I recommend you bring outside slip-on shoes to get to the shrine building like sliders and wellies in winter for walks. It is very well organised with good systems for running the place and the vegan food was fantastic! I bought the cookbook but haven’t use it yet… The teaching, the silence, the experience was beautiful, and at the end of the retreat some of the people that attended the retreat broke out in tears of joy, and I felt I had an extended family with our shared experience. I will be back! In fact, I have already booked for next year in June.

A beautiful peaceful haven. And the pigs down the road are also friendly if you offer them some scraps from the kitchen veg bin and scratch their ears 😊
