"I cannot think of a more beautiful setting on earth for a retreat than the Asha Centre."Spending a week here for the More To Life program in mid-Aug was the undisputed highlight of my three weeks traveling across the UK. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the staff made me feel immediately at home. We were especially lucky to have perfect weather all week!The estate itself is a sanctuary for the soul. I spent hours wandering the peaceful, rolling grounds, taking in the sweet aroma of the rose gardens and sampling fresh grapes, figs, pears, and apples right off the trees. The thoughtfully designed meditation areas—balanced between sunny clearings and cool, shaded spots—provided the ideal backdrop for deep reflection and inner work.Paired with clean, comfortable, and scenic accommodations, as well as meals that were consistently delectable, diverse, and generous, my time here was nothing short of transformative. Thank you to the entire Asha Centre team for creating such a magical space! Bart Loeser (Austin, Texas)

A hidden gem. We feel very lucky that we found the perfect location for our residential guitar week. Beautiful house, grounds and gardens to explore and enjoy, with orchards, a stream, lovely outdoor communal spaces, the glass-walled auditorium, the house lounge and library, and the cute little eco-lodge. Wonderful accomodation in the form of antique-laden bedrooms, and on-site little cottages. Great staff who bend over backwards to help. Honestly just the perfect location for your retreat, team-building activity, or equally your wedding or other group social event.

What an amazing place, I’ve attended 2 guitar retreats here. It’s got super spaces and the grounds are gorgeous. All the food was great too

From the moment I arrived, there was something special about the place. The surroundings are beautiful, peaceful and full of character, but what really makes Asha is the people.A huge thank you to Joe, Joe, Tilly, Caroline, Steve and Michael. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The whole Asha team went out of their way to make us feel welcome, supported and at home throughout the week.I was also fortunate enough to meet the founders, Zerbanoo and Richard Gifford. It was wonderful to meet the people behind such a remarkable place and to experience first-hand what they have created.I stayed in the Cider Press, where we could literally enjoy figs and grapes fresh from the trees. Those simple things somehow captured the spirit of the week.For me, some of the most memorable moments were also the quietest — meditating, walking through the grounds, taking time to reflect and attending the cold plunge at the well. There is something about the environment at Asha that gives you space to slow down, reconnect and simply be.Having spent a week there, I can see enormous potential in Asha as a home for spiritual retreats, wellbeing programmes, workshops, meditation, personal development and gatherings that bring people together.It is difficult to put into words what makes a place touch you. Sometimes it isn't one particular thing — it's the people, the surroundings, the conversations, the silence and the feeling you leave with.Asha touched my heart.Thank you to everyone who made the week what it was. I arrived for a retreat and left with some wonderful memories, new connections and a genuine affection for a very special place.I hope it won't be too long before I return.

The Asha Centre provides a warm, safe space as a backdrop to spiritual courses. Whether you're running a religious course, a meditation retreat, a yoga workshop or whatever, this place will underpin your connection to the great "out there" with grace and gentle humility.
