Guest house is now open to welcome visitors.
The Community has a Guest House called the Old Parsonage which is about 150 metres from the Convent, with a private path between the two.
The Old Parsonage is the original 19th century Freeland parsonage attached to the village church. Since the mid 1960s the sisters have run it as a guest house.
Men, women and children are welcome at the guest house. It is not a ‘silent house’ but people can make private retreats if they wish. There are nine rooms (some double/twin). Group bookings for up to twelve people are welcome.
Those who wish to are welcome to share in the worship of the Convent Chapel.
Some produce of the community is available for purchase at the Old Parsonage.
