'digital detox' Retreat
‘digital detox’ DOG FRIENDLY retreat in West Sussex
Three days. Perfectly Held.
Tucked away on Kettlesbridge Farm in the heart of West Sussex, Robin Shepherd's Hut is a sanctuary for solo travellers,friends, family members, or couples—where the air feels softer, and life slows down.
Located just over an hour from London by train to Billingshurst and 40 minutes from Brighton, Ellasfield is one of West Sussex's most accessible rural retreats, making it ideal for visitors from Surrey, Hampshire, Kent, and beyond.
The 'Digital Detox' Retreat is a preventative health investment designed for two friends, couples, or family members looking to deepen their connection and escape excessive digital connectivity. Set in the serene surroundings of Ellasfield, West Sussex, this nature-based retreat allows you to disconnect and rejuvenate.
As you step inside Robin Shepherd's Hut, your phone goes into a lockbox, replaced by an instant camera, a stack of books, board games, and a map for exploring the local area. We provide a sanctuary for nature immersion, focusing on digital detoxing, stress reduction, and shifting from 'Human Doing' to 'Human Being.' Choose from a menu of healing modalities, including a cacao ceremony, shamanic healing, or a restorative yoga session.
Outside, you can enjoy a soak in the bath and infrared sauna beneath the open skies—soak in the healing warmth, watch the horses wandering by, and let the evening unfold. Inside, you'll find a super king-size bed, a red light therapy panel for your use, and a LumaPet Red Light pad for your dog.
When you feel the call, Ellasfield awaits.

'WHERE WE GATHER' SACRED PAUSE RETREAT
16-18TH OCTOBER 2026
Join us for a nurturing retreat that gives you permission to embrace a sacred pause. Take a moment to slow down as the seasons change and align with their rhythm. Together, let’s gently explore the stillness within us and celebrate this beautiful time of honoring our wisdom and connecting with our hearts.
£450 shared accommodation | £850 Private One Person Luxury Shepherds Hut
There's a place in the West Sussex countryside tucked between the trees where time moves a little slower. Where the air feels softer, and something inside you loosens without you even noticing.
A place that feels strangely familiar — as if you've been waiting to return to it. Here, mornings drift in with birdsong, evenings glow golden, and the quiet holds you the way the world rarely does.
If you've tried the meditation app, journaling, and yoga classes but still feel that something deeper is calling to you, this experience is for you - its more than a retreat, it's a remembering.

Host your own retreat at ellasfield
Are you a retreat leader, yoga teacher, therapist or conscious facilitator looking for a space to host your own group? Ellasfield is available for exclusive hire by practitioners who want to bring their own vision to life in a setting that holds it with depth and intention.
Hire the house and yurt together for residential retreats, or book a day hire for workshops, ceremonies and sacred gatherings. With spa facilities, catering options and Starlink WiFi already in place, the practical is taken care of so you can focus entirely on your group.
Private Day Retreats Hire
For yoga teachers, therapists, workshop facilitators and conscious practitioners looking to host a powerful one-day experience.
Ellasfield offers exclusive day hire for retreat leaders and facilitators who want to bring their group into a space that holds the work with intention. Whether you are running a yoga workshop, a cacao ceremony, a breathwork day, a women's circle or a holistic therapy event, the house, yurt and grounds are yours for the day with no shared facilities and no other guests.
Your participants arrive in a space that is already alive with stillness and natural beauty. The yurt carries its own atmosphere for ceremony and circle work, while the open grounds offer space for movement, reflection and restoration between sessions. Catering packages are available so that nourishing plant-based meals become part of the experience rather than a logistical headache.
OVERNIGHT RETREAT SPACE HIRE
For retreat leaders, yoga teachers, shamanic practitioners and holistic facilitators ready to offer their group a fully immersive residential experience.
Ellasfield is available for overnight and residential retreat hire, giving your group exclusive use of the entire property for the duration of your stay. No shared spaces, no outside guests, no distractions. Just your group, the land and the uninterrupted space to go deep together.
The house and yurt are available together, offering both intimate indoor spaces and a living connection to the natural world outside. Participants sleep in beautifully considered rooms across the main house, with shared communal spaces that encourage the kind of off-programme connection that makes a residential retreat truly transformative. The treatment room supports one-to-one sessions alongside your group programme, and the spa facilities, cold water swimming pond, wood-fired hot tub and sauna, sit naturally within the rhythm of any residential stay.
