The Retreat Centre

 

This hidden architectural treasure, set deep in the beautiful countryside of south Oxfordshire in the Chiltern Hills is an attractive Grade II* listed building, parts of which date back more than 300 years. The old manor is in the ‘Strawberry Gothic’ style and is set in 55 acres with beautiful gardens in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of the village of Ipsden in south Oxfordshire.

 

Once the home of James Bond author Ian Fleming, it is now run as an educational trust. Braziers is a working eco-community with sheep, chickens, a walled organic vegetable garden, and an ancient orchard.

 

The location is perfect for a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating retreat. We will work in the beautifully lit drawing room and have the run of the rest of the house. The house is very quaint and quirky with plenty of space to nestle down with a book. There’s the library, the study, dining room, and an informal space by the open log fire and grand piano. There will be plenty of time just to hang out and chat, meet new people, read, relax, and enjoy being in the community in natural surroundings. If you’re an outdoors person, you can walk and explore the wild beauty of the woodland countryside during your stay.

 

All rooms are comfortable and charming and all bathrooms are shared. A limited number of single rooms are available.; hearty vegetarian meals will be served in the panelled dining room, with much of the home-cooked food grown on the estate.
