  Our large, comfortable communal lodge is the heart of Shiplate Farm Retreat, offering a versatile space that can be adapted to suit your needs. Whether you’re hosting focused meetings, running mindfulness sessions, facilitating group workshops, or simply gathering for relaxed conversations, the lodge provides a warm, welcoming environment.

With flexible seating arrangements, a large dining area, and plenty of natural light, it’s the perfect setting for collaboration and creativity. In the evenings, the lodge transforms into a space for informal get-togethers — whether that’s sharing a meal, enjoying a fireside chat, or making use of our indoor barbecue area with views over the lakes.

Every detail has been considered to encourage connection and ease, making it an ideal space to bring people together, spark ideas, and build lasting relationships.

  At Shiplate Farm Retreat, we offer a range of charming and unique accommodation choices designed to make your stay both comfortable and memorable. Choose from our traditional country cottage, thoughtfully furnished and equipped with fresh, clean linen — perfect for those who prefer a home-from-home feel with all the comforts you’d expect.

If you’re looking for a truly rustic and memorable experience, stay in one of our beautifully crafted shepherd’s huts, complete with access to the Lav Shack and Shower Shack — quirky, well-maintained facilities that add a playful, countryside charm to your retreat.

And for groups who want to get closer to nature, our spacious bell tent offers glamping at its finest, with comfortable bedding and soft lighting — ideal for late-night storytelling and stargazing around the campfire.

While some sharing is required, it’s all part of the fun and camaraderie. Surrounded by rolling countryside, lakes, and wildlife, each accommodation option offers something special — creating an atmosphere of excitement, comfort, and unforgettable memories for you and your team.

At Shiplate Farm Retreat, we believe a retreat should inspire both body and mind. That’s why we offer a range of facilities and activities designed to energise, motivate, and restore. From invigorating yoga sessions on the lawn or in our peaceful lodge, to practical self-defence workshops that build confidence and strength, there’s something for everyone.

Looking to inspire your team? We can arrange motivational talks tailored to your goals, as well as fitness classes to get the blood pumping and minds focused. For those seeking calm and reflection, mindfulness and meditation sessions help create space for clarity and fresh thinking. If creativity is on the agenda, we can also arrange art workshops, perfect for sparking ideas and collaboration in a relaxed setting.

And of course, no retreat is complete without great food. From relaxed barbecues by the lake to fine dining experiences, we can cater for all tastes. Enjoy Indian cooking demonstrations and feasts prepared on-site, delicious wood-fired pizzas, or other specialty cuisines — all available if ordered in advance. Every detail is designed to make your time here memorable, uplifting, and deliciously rewarding.
