Eagles Rest Retreat

Eagles Rest Retreat Relax in our ancient holy building, recuperate in our unique accommodation and recharge. Discounts for clergy and other concessions are available.

Welcome to Eagles Rest, a Christian retreat centre designed to cherish and breathe life into those that need it most. We invite you to relax in our ancient holy building, recuperate in our unique accommodation and recharge with any of the services we offer, tailored to you and your needs. All Hallows, where Eagles’ Rest resides, has been a place of worship since the 6th Century, when missionaries

would gather and pray around a cross before the church itself was built. Today, people can find peace and renewal through the retreat centre and its tranquil surroundings, which are perfect for reflective country walks. Staying with Us

Whether you are looking for space to reflect and revive, a safe healing sanctuary or a more extroverted physical adventure, our comfortable bespoke set-up enables you to create the retreat you need. Our distinctive residence and dynamic repertoire enables us as a charitable organisation to offer bespoke accommodation and service packages. Please contact us to find out more, or take a look at some of our specialised packages. Prices start from £130 for 2 nights, and don't forget, we can tailor any of these to your specific personal needs. Please contact us to see if you are eligible. DIY Retreat - Accommodation only in our quiet self-catering haven, with as much or as little exposure to the community as you wish. Health Retreat - If food is ‘God’s love made edible’, then we want to help you love yourself better. At a time in which the relationship between food and wellbeing is increasingly recognised, our medically trained Health Coach can assist you with informed changes around your health and wellbeing needs. Marriage Retreat - Whether you are newly married or are in need of encouragement and renewal, our unique transformational strategies will deepen your understanding and communication with your spouse. Special Retreat - The perfect formula for those weary, stressed or encumbered with challenges. With strategies to help you live from overflow, not overdraft. Leadership Retreat - Enabling you to lead yourself and others in your team with excellence. Other services you can incorporate into your time with us include spiritual direction, professional massage, counselling, coaching and mentoring. Who We Are

Eagles’ Rest is the project of Reverend Tina Hodges, who saw a deficit in support and restoration for burnt-out clergy, Christian workers and business executives and felt a God-given calling to do something about it. With her team, she seeks to facilitate your journey to wholeness as you meet with God and experience His love. We are a non-profit venture (charity in the making) guided by the vision God has given us. Our trained and experienced team are on hand to make your stay with us as restful and restorative as possible. Each team member is friendly, understanding and qualified in their individual areas of expertise and able to assist out of their own experience. From an unstructured, secluded get-away to a stimulating transformative mini-break, our team can create as much or as little ‘people-time’ as you wish. Where We Are

We are located next to the idyllic hamlet of High Hoyland, surrounded by woodland and only yards away from Cannon Hall and Yorkshire Sculpture Park. If you are driving from the South, you leave the M1 at J38; if you are driving from the North, you leave at J39. Book with Us

I love visiting other people’s gardens & enjoy seeing the creativity and beauty they create with what they have.

With such a warm & well watered Spring everything is lush & blooming in ours which makes picnicking on the patio a real joy.

How is your garden doing?
Fancy sharing a recent photo of something in your garden which warms your heart?

We carry so much.

Conversations that replay
long after they’re finished.
Worries that wake before we do.
Questions about tomorrow
that steal the peace of today.

We hold them tightly,
turning them over,
trying to solve them,
trying to manage them,
as though everything depends on us.

But there comes a point
when our hands grow tired.

A point where the burden
becomes heavier
than the strength we have left.

And there,
in the middle of the carrying,

comes the invitation.

Cast all your anxiety on Him.

Not some.
Not the respectable worries.
Not only the things we think
are important enough for God.

All of it.

The great fears.
The small concerns.
The sleepless thoughts.
The tears we hide.
The burdens we cannot name.

All of it.

Not because God is distant and curious,
but because God cares for us.

Cares.

A simple word,
yet large enough
to hold a lifetime.

So we loosen our grip
a little.

We place what we can
into hands stronger than our own.

And for a moment
we remember

that we were never meant
to carry everything ourselves.

This year's Care for the Family Bereaved Parent Support Day is LOCAL this year. It's 20 June in Huddersfield, led by the outstanding Dave and Jane Park.

If you or someone you know has experienced the death of a child, I found these events incredibly valuable as I searched for peace and hope that life could ever be good again amongst those who understood.

Please share. Having just been on my own bereavement pilgrimage (shown here) with the British Pilgrimage Trust 13 years after Gabi died, I am reminded our losses are too heavy to be carried alone.

Yesterday, I posted in a vegan group in response to someone looking for vegan-friendly accommodation.

Jasper and I came to whole-food plant-based eating and veganism later in life, so we understand both the health and ethical reasons that lead many people to make this change, as well as some of the challenges involved.

Someone noticed that yoghurt and eggs appeared in a photo on our page and asked about this. We explained that we also welcome vegetarian guests. We had stopped serving breakfast during COVID and only reintroduced it last week, so some of our photos and information are in the process of being updated.

Going forward, all future bookings will include an optional luxury continental breakfast, with plant-based choices available for those who would like them.

Although we personally follow a vegan, whole-food plant-based lifestyle, we warmly welcome guests of all dietary preferences.

Because we have made this journey ourselves, we know that everyone is at a different stage. Our aim is to offer a supportive, comfortable, and completely judgement-free place to stay.

If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to ask them before you jump to conclusions. If you read our reviews, you will know that it’s important to us that this is a safe supportive space where people feel loved and welcomed.
