Overall Experience

My Name is Jess , Ive been married to my hubby (who is a Cof E Vicar), for 18 years and we share the ministry; Therefore we are pretty much in each others company 24/7.
It is very difficult to separate personal space out from parish life ,when your office is in your house and your friends are your parishioners and when you live at the other end of the country from most of your relatives, you want to spend any holiday time with them.
I was asked by two separate christians wether I had ever considered spending time away from my family and parish, where I could just focus on myself with God…I hadn’t, so I remembered my sister had recommended Harmony House as a retreat and booked straight away for 2 nights..it was perfect.
Thank you to Adele and Hannah for their discreet love and care, Godly words of encouragement, prayer ministry and for giving me space and fabulous food!
I would highly recommend a stay.

Overall Experience

Harmony House was the perfect place for me to get some quality space and time out. Immaculate beautiful rooms that were conducive for relaxation and reflection. The food and service was also top notch. I stayed for one night – I will definitely be staying again.
I have also used Harmony House for team away days which has also worked really well.

Overall Experience

We have just enjoyed our second visit to Harmony House, this time for a retreat.
A beautiful place to go when you need time out from being a “Martha” to just sit and be a “Mary”.
Everything about the place was excellent. The accommodation, the meals, the resources and the ministry provided by Adele and Heather.
Thank you both. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Overall Experience

So sad to be leaving this place behind. 3 days & nights of resting and refreshing and reawakening in what can only be described as a little piece of heaven right here in our midst in a tranquil picturesque village just outside York. 😍👌🏼🙏🏼☀️🌳🍃🍂❤️
This was my first Anew Retreat at Harmony House where His ☝🏼 Harmony is well and truly undeniably restored. An opportunity to come sit at the feet of Jesus and rekindle that captivating love we have with he who is I AM.
An exquisite experience hosted by the amazingly awesome Adele York and the marvelously wonderful Heather.
You have created something truly beautiful here ladies. Well Done!! 👏👏👏💞💞 Harmony House Boutique B&B

Overall Experience

What a special time at Harmony House. The space, food ambience all contributed to a much needed opportunity to spend time emptying out the busyness of life and re-filling with God’s Spirit and encouragement. I was reminded of the necessity and value of ‘doing’ nothing in order to be present .

Adele and Heather hit just the right balance of providing input and space to hear God for ourselves.

I will definitely return and recommend anyone to invest in themselves by booking on to a retreat , you won’t regret it!

Overall Experience

This “Winter” retreat was just what we needed!
Time to spend in God’s presence, reflecting upon His word, listening for His voice, receive prayer ministry…. Amazing!

We were warmly welcomed by Adele and Ros; our room was spotless and comfy; tasty cooked breakfasts and evening meals were gratefully received along with many other small touches that made Harmony House feel like home. Thank you.

Highly recommended!

Overall Experience

Our stay at Harmony House proved to be a time of refreshment and relaxation. Rather than opting for just taking a few days away my wife and I chose to participate in one of the occasional retreats Harmony House provide.

The attention to detail was appreciated, the accommodation very comfortable indeed, the food excellent and the hosts enchanting.

I would highly recommend Harmony House to anyone looking for a comfortable location to explore the area in general; but to anyone needing time and space to reflect on life and faith, I cannot commend Harmony House enough for creating an oasis for body, mind and soul.

Thank you Adele and Ros.

Overall Experience

I am still processing all that happened for me, as I got ill flu then busy when I got back home. Winter will not look the same to me again after the depth of teaching! I appreciate the gentle mix of those lovely ladies heading the devotionals, the gorgeous food and the conversation of the other participants!
My ‘bridge’ time was amazing and I am working through the meaning of what that means for me! All will be revealed soon!!
Adele and Ros; A big thank you for the most wonderful blessing at Harmony House winter retreat…I felt the Lord’s presence right from getting there! I needed the space to just be and listen. Song of Songs 8: 5-6 has really stayed with me. I needed to hear and reflect on how much God loves me too!
I will be back!!

Overall Experience

Wow, just blown away with the location and the accommodation. Adele was a fabulous host and made you feel very welcome. Everything was 1st class, from the quality of the furniture and decor to the food. Breakfast was amazing, plenty of it, with a good choice and all delicious. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious and relaxing. The shower was fantastic, good pressure and able to control the temperature easily. The bathroom was very modern and very clean. The location was stunning, so quiet and peaceful and yet within easy travelling distance of York and all the attractions there. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about booking here – you will not be disappointed!

Overall Experience

This was our third visit to Harmony House and our second Anew retreat, and on each occasion Adele and her team have “wow-ed” us with their hospitality and “philadelphian” love.

The format of the retreat is well-structured but there’s no compulsion to participate in every activity.
In fact we approached the Spring Retreat with some trepidation as it was centered around artwork and painting, but we quickly warmed to Ros who Took us through the Sozo Art process.

We certainly feel this place is aptly named – it just exudes harmony – and look forward to the next time.

Thank you all, and thank you to the other participants who made us feel so welcome.

God bless,
