About Us
A Bit Of History
Built in the mid-19th century, Claridge House was acquired in 1954 by the Friends Fellowship of Healing, a Quaker body, for Friends to come and convalesce and gain spiritual renewal and healing. Later courses and retreats were added and the house became an independent charity. Throughout the past 70 years it has continued its original purpose of providing a sanctuary for guests seeking rest and renewal.
At the heart of our ethos lies a commitment to the timeless values of peace, simplicity, equality and truth. These Quaker values shape Claridge House, creating a sanctuary where everyone is welcome.
At Claridge House, our mission is simple yet profound: to cultivate a community where rest and renewal are accessible to all. Our commitment extends beyond providing a place of respite; we strive to foster an atmosphere of peace, safety, and connection, ensuring that every guest feels valued and supported on their journey to well-being.
A Place Of Renewal
Nestled within our tranquil retreat, you’ll find nourishment for the mind, body and soul. From enriching courses to inspire personal growth, space to dive deep within to wholesome vegetarian food. Every aspect of Claridge House is designed to ignite a sense of renewal within our guests. Our beautiful 2 acre garden serves as a sanctuary, offering a connection to nature that rejuvenates and restores.
But beyond the amenities lies something deeper — a heartfelt dedication to service and a genuine desire to exceed expectations. At Claridge House, our guests are more than visitors; they are cherished members of our community, and their well-being is our highest priority.
So whether you seek solace, healing, connection, or personal transformation, we invite you to step through our doors and experience the transformative power of Claridge House. Your journey to holistic well-being begins here, where everyone is truly welcome.
