Retreat East

Whether you’re looking for an exclusive event or a smaller more intimate occasion, Retreat East is all about creating bespoke experiences for your special day. Just 90 minutes from London, 60 minutes from Cambridge and 30 minutes from Colchester, Retreat East is the perfect sanctuary for those precious moments. Our collection comprises a range of outstanding, characterful barns and a 16th century farmhouse, all of which have been designed with a sustainable rural chic vibe. The Farmhouse is fully licensed for civil ceremonies. This beautiful property is an original feature of the dairy farm and is packed full of history & character. Nestled in its own private walled garden, it is the perfect setting for a truly English ceremony. Spend your morning getting ready in The Farmhouse whilst your guests gather in the beautiful private walled garden. Make your way down the herringbone brick path, to the altar as your guests eagerly await. After the celebrations, the happy couple can retreat to The Farmhouse for a blissful night’s sleep or select one of our other barns for your first night as a married couple. We’ve created a ‘home from home’ experience at Retreat East. With space for you and all your guests, you’ll have all the luxuries of a 5-star resort, with lots of home comforts along the way. With a selection of luxury barns, you’ll be spoilt for choice. We aim to create a unique day for each and every one of our couples. Our desire is to support your vision and will work with you to make a seamless, enjoyable and stress-free process. Our Events Manager will be on hand to help you with the planning and creativity of your special day at each stage of the journey.
