Guesthouse
‘Every monastery is to continue the tradition of welcoming guests and the needy as Christ according to local circumstances. Let those whom the providence of God has led to the monastery be received by the brothers with reverence and kindness but without allowing this service to impair monastic quiet.’

Accommodation
The Guest House accommodation is for relatives and friends of the monks, retreatants, and those interested in our life. The Abbey is a religious house and is unable to accommodate bed and breakfast, half-board, or tourist guests.
Duration
This varies from two nights up to five days which is the normal allocation in any one year. We do not normally accept bookings for one night only. Special arrangements are possible, upon request, from the Guestmaster.
Cost
The Abbey does not charge guests for their stay, but we are grateful for offerings made to help reduce the cost of running the Guest House.
Reservations
The preferred method of booking is by email. For those without access to the internet, bookings may be made by phone 9.30 am – 12.00 pm (Mon-Sat). The brethren retire at 8.00 pm and are not available to respond to emails or phone calls after this time.
