Bookings for groups
A superb environment for your group to relax, learn and share together.
Things start from here ...
- the privacy of having the whole building(s) to yourselves
- the freedom to run your own programme
- first rate kitchens for your catering
- a choice of spacious and/or cosy meeting rooms
- beautifully kept grounds including woods, gardens and fields
- prayer spaces including chapels and labyrinth
- all rooms en-suite and centrally heated
- good disabled access
- away from it all but with good transport links
If you're thinking of bringing a group away we would love to make an appointment for you to come and look round Sheldon.
We have made major investments in the scope and quality of the guest accommodation in recent years.

Residential bookings
Our preferred option is for self-catering groups to cook in the Long Barn kitchen. Larger groups may need to use the Pound House kitchen and this costs extra. Permanent facilities for making and washing up hot drinks are available in the Pound House dining room.
Prices shown here are for self-catering groups, bringing your own bed linen and towels and doing your own cleaning before departure. Catering, linen and towels may be all be quoted extra on request.
