Breakfast Where You’ll Sleep
Sandridge Barton has two manor houses, which we’re lucky enough to be staying in. One is on the main estate, the other a short 10 minute walk through the vineyard or a couple of minutes drive away.
Both houses are self-catering and have been recently refurbished, blending comfort and luxury, while retaining the original character.
There are 6 rooms in the Manor House, as well as an indoor pool, and 4 rooms in Lower Well Farmhouse. Each room has twin beds.
Guests will be placed at random in each house, though everyone has full use of the pool in the Manor House, even if you’re staying in the Lower Well accommodation.
Please let us know if you’re booking with a friend and we will ensure you are placed in a room together.
Our meal on the first night is a big Italian feast and will take place in one of the beautiful houses. We’ll share the finer details closer to the retreat.

The retreat is £620 per person.
Early Bird £580 per person (Book before 31st March, 2026)

A few bottles of wine and snacks will also be left at each of the houses for you to enjoy at leisure.
