Be the change you want to see in the world” - Mahatma Gandhi This was the inspiration that led then city investment analyst, Louise Chester, to create The Retreat within the grounds of Witherdens Hall, Wingham, Kent in 2004. A beautiful barn conversion in the stunning Kent countryside, The Retreat is a place to relax and recharge mind, body and soul, away from the frenetic, draining influences of modern life. ​ Witherdens Hall Spa Retreat is not your typical hotel or B&B. Louise, founder of Mindfulness At Work Ltd, has created a wonderful sanctuary that she loves to share with those who will enjoy being in this beautiful, peaceful and tranquil space. The Retreat Cottage and Suite accommodation are situated in the grounds of Witherdens Hall, Louise's home, and is run as a retreat on a not-for-profit basis. Witherdens Hall Spa Retreat, here in the heart of the Kent countryside, offers a boutique style experience in a beautiful and tranquil setting. Whether you are looking for a rest, a pamper weekend, to explore the historic local area and coast line or to create your own bespoke restorative retreat with some of our wonderful practitioners and therapists, Witherdens Hall is the place to be. Relax, recharge and rejuvenate in this very special and mindful space. ​ We also offer day retreats in The Workspace which is a unique, calming space that can also be used for courses, training and events and can be booked alongside our accommodation if required. ​ Something special happens when you visit Witherdens Hall, something almost magical and unexpected. You leave with a clearer vision and determination to shape the life you really want to live.
