Groups
We welcome Christian churches, groups and organisations to gather for worship, prayer, discipleship events and retreat time. This can be for a day, overnight or for several nights. We can only accept two-night bookings at weekends.
We offer self-catering accommodation which gives groups great flexibility to choose their meal times and plan within their budget. You can choose to have a fully catered stay – we can recommend caterers that many groups choose to book. Please see self-catering for information on caterers and recommended places to eat. Please see the visit page for more information on the rooms, facilities, and grounds.

“For a group of ministers, gathering together to pray, share our lives and experience of ministry, and fellowship with one another, The House of Bread has proved to be the perfect environment. A warm welcome and comfortable stay in a relaxed and beautiful setting. We felt at home and close to God in this charming place. We are thankful to God for this ministry and those who gave of their time and energy to serve us during our stay.”
Neil Powell, The London Project
