"What a fantastic place! The meeting room had a great view, the feeling of being outside even though you are inside! Great for bringing teams together in an informal setting. The service provided was tailored to all peoples need, which was absolutely fab. Really enjoyed it and on top, it felt really good to support the mission behind “The Chellington Centre - A rural retreat for young people”."

"This space was great for our gathering. We found it to be so peaceful and still with Magical country side views. The old church has been converted masterfully and it was really nice to hangout in the common areas with a hot floor under foot. Highly recommend. Hoping we'll be back!"

- Matt and friends

"12 of us visited from Norfolk for a staycation with friends. The BBQ and fire pit were really great for the evenings. We really appreciated having so much space. A few of us had to work whilst away and the room separate from the main part of the building was great for this. The surrounding area is beautiful for walks and visiting the neighbouring villages. Would thoroughly recommend."
