All guests are welcome to join in with the daily cycle of prayer or just spend time in the beautifully tended grounds within the ruins of the 14th century Cistercian Abbey.

 


East Gate Lodge is a self-catering cottage set in the grounds and found down a tree lined drive. It has a cosy lounge, with a sofa bed for an extra guest or little ones and table for two with a view.
