Reviews
Ellasfield has been part of my life for over a year, and each return feels like stepping back into something familiar, soothing and deeply restorative. From yoga and flow dance to Kirtan, retreats and circles, every offering feels held with intention. Surrounded by the beauty of the Sussex countryside, the space itself feels like a sanctuary - lovingly crafted and profoundly healing. Kim’s warm, steady presence brings a sense of safety and grounding that allows real transformation to unfold.

We had the most incredible private retreat at Ellasfield for my sister-in-law’s “zen” do. Kim was great at getting everything organised and communicated before that day, so we were confident it was going to be a beautiful day. Even so, it far exceeded all of our expectations - from the cacao ceremony, yoga, countryside spa, lunch (the homemade salads were huge & delicious!) and intention setting. The little touches really made it too, like the little treats to take away. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone - thank you Kim & Lee!

Myself and 4 friends went for a day retreat at ellasfield. They created an inteniary for us of a cacao ceremony, blue lotus ceremony, sauna and swim time and provided a delicious vegan lunch and cakes. None of us had experinced these ceremonies before, and we were surprised at how at ease and connecting it all felt. It all felt natural and important- a testament to the people Kim and Lee are.
From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The place is deeply relaxing with a calming energy. Lee and Kim make you feel so welcomed and comfortable. You don't have to be someone that does things like this regularly. Come with an open heart and you really will have the most special time here. Thanks so much Kim and Lee for your beautiful offerings. We all would love to come back again.

Venue Hire for Yoga Retreats
Ellasfield gives yoga teachers and retreat leaders exclusive use of the full property, the house, the yurt and the grounds, with no shared facilities, no other guests and no interruptions. Your programme runs on your terms, from opening circle to final savasana, in a space that holds the full arc of a retreat without compromise.
The yurt brings something a conventional studio cannot. A living, breathing connection to the natural world, it carries its own atmosphere whether you use it for morning flow, evening yin or a woven sound healing session. The open grounds extend the practice further, offering space for outdoor sessions, walking meditation or quiet restoration between classes.
The treatment room within the house offers a dedicated space for one-to-one sessions, bodywork or holistic therapies alongside your yoga programme. Warm communal spaces encourage the kind of off-mat connection that deepens a retreat, giving your group somewhere to gather, share meals and let the experience settle.
Venue Hire for Health Retreats
For health retreat leaders, the space needs to do more than look beautiful. It needs to support the transformation you are facilitating actively. Ellasfield's exclusive hire means your participants arrive into an environment that is entirely yours, curated, intentional and free from the noise of other guests or shared spaces.
The grounds, the spa facilities, the cold water swimming pond, the wood-fired hot tub and the sauna weave naturally into a health retreat programme without any extra logistics on your part. They are already here, already part of the land, already doing their work. Pair them with your own nutrition programme, workshops or movement practices and the space becomes an extension of your offering.
The house holds a treatment room for one-to-one sessions and consultations, communal spaces for group work and shared meals, and enough privacy for participants to genuinely decompress between sessions. For health retreat leaders who want the environment to carry as much weight as the programme itself, Ellasfield delivers.
Venue Hire for Conscious Gatherings
Conscious gatherings ask more of a space than most events do. The container matters as much as the content, and Ellasfield holds that container with care. Exclusive hire of the full property means your gathering unfolds without interruption, in grounds that carry a natural stillness and a house that feels warm, lived-in and intentional rather than corporate or clinical. Ellasfield is solely a vegetarian or plant-based venue.
The yurt is a natural home for ceremony, circle work, breathwork, cacao and sound healing. Its roundness, its materials, its connection to the outside world through light and air, all of it creates an atmosphere that a function room or hired studio simply cannot replicate. What happens inside a yurt feels different, and facilitators who have worked in one know exactly what that means.
The house grounds the gathering with spaces to eat together, rest and integrate. For multi-day conscious events where the in-between moments matter as much as the sessions themselves, having a beautiful, private home to return to each evening is not a luxury, it is part of the work.
Venue Hire for Intimate Gatherings
Some of the most powerful retreats are the smallest ones. When a group is close-knit, when trust runs deep and the work is personal, the space needs to match that intimacy. Ellasfield's exclusive hire means the entire property belongs to your group, however small, with no strangers, no background noise and no sense of being one event among many.
The yurt holds a small circle with a presence that larger spaces simply cannot offer. Whether you are facilitating a women's gathering, a couples retreat, a grief circle or a sacred pause weekend, the scale and the stillness of the space hold the group without swallowing it.
The house itself feels like a home rather than a venue, which is exactly the point for gatherings where people need to feel safe enough to go deep. Comfortable rooms, communal spaces that invite conversation and connection, and open grounds that offer solitude when it is needed, Ellasfield gives intimate gatherings the environment they deserve.
