Transformative rural Retreats for Healing and Self-Discovery
Whether you are travelling alone and want to immerse yourself in a solo restorative retreat, or celebrate your anniversary as a couple in a more conscious way, Ellasfield is the place to do it.
If you want to gather with a small group of friends or family to celebrate a birthday, conscious hen party or your special occasion in truly memorable and beneficial way for all, let us create the perfect retreat for you.
Choose from one day, three day or five day retreats or hire the whole space for your event or retreat; incorporating any elements we offer, from cacao ceremonies, restorative yoga and meditation; invigorating cold water swimming and detoxing saunas; to completely transformative equine therapy or healing sessions.
where women gather - sleep-over retreat
We are bubbling over with excitement to share that we have listened to your feedback and crafted our
"Where Women Gather Sleepover Retreat" to get us in a joyful and sparkling mood for celebrations this December.
These two luxurious days are dedicated to love, friendship, and festive joy—celebrating life in a way that leaves us feeling lighter, fulfilled, and connected. Our hope is that you'll take a little piece of this magic home with you as you enjoy your festivities this December.
Celebrations at Ellasfield are not about rushing, noise, or hangovers; they focus on creating moments that remain in our hearts. We gather around long wooden tables to share plant-based feasts that delight and nourish us. We immerse ourselves in sound baths and movement practices that restore our energy, enjoy the soothing warmth of a sauna, and swim in clear waters. Come sundown, we sit by the fire to exchange stories that connect us more deeply than we could have ever imagined.
Accommodation is mainly shared and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have a specific sister you'd love to share with, just let me know when you book!
Payment Plan Available: Deposit of £75.00, a further £75.00 in October, and final payment of £75, on December 5th

We are now taking bookings for your Spring and Summer 2025 Events.
Enjoy the fresh air and open space just an hour from London and 30 minutes from Brighton. You can take rambling walks, say hello to the friendly pigs and watch the ponies grazing happily. Go for the plunge in the cold water swimming pond (open all year round), soak in a wood-fired hot tub and reap the benefits of a sauna in the delightful Shepherds Hut.
Inside the main house, there are 6 charming bedrooms, with room for 16 people. You can also hire our Robin Shepherds Hut for an extra 1-3 guests, making this a perfect venue for up to 19 people.
For indoor relaxation, you can raid the bookcase, binge on a box set by the fireside, or listen to your favourite Asana Flow playlist on the Sonos sound system.
Enjoy plant-based meals as a group in the light and airy kitchen diner. In spring and summer, open the bi-fold doors under the canopy to soak up the vitamin D and, if lucky, spot a duck on the pond! At sundown, you can retire to an evening of Nespresso and Netflix or grab a green tea, pop another log on the fire, and soothe yourself in the peaceful surroundings.
Everything here is wonderfully stylish, from the calming, carefully chosen natural colour palette to the vintage furniture and crisp cotton bed linen.
Suppose you are holding a yoga retreat or workshop. In that case, we have a 6.4m yurt and an outdoor decked area for circles, ceremonies, and practice. We are here to help you create a unique bespoke retreat/gathering. Hire the whole retreat space for you and your guests and enjoy exclusive use of all the following facilities.
