Lee Abbey Devon is a Christian Community of around 90 people from all over the world: nineteen different nationalities. The Community also represents many diverse cultures and age groups.

They bring with them a wide variety of traditions, worship styles and experiences which add to the rich tapestry that makes up the Community. At Lee Abbey we recognise that people matter and that relationships matter. Being in community helps you face relationships in a real and not a superficial way. A visit to Lee Abbey gives people a real insight and an encouragement to go deeper into community.

The 280-acre estate is located in the rugged, beautiful and dramatic Exmoor National Park. The woodlands, moorlands, streams, farmland and coastline offer to our guests the opportunity to connect with God’s creation.

Sometimes you need a retreat or holiday on your own for physical or spiritual renewal — perhaps a break from hectic home life or a sabbatical from work.

Lee Abbey is a place where many people choose to come alone (or with a friend or partner), feel welcomed, enjoy the tranquility, and gain a new perspective on life and God.

Whether you’re on a men’s weekend, a women’s weekend, a guided or silent retreat, a creative event or a walking holiday, you can choose to participate in as much or as little of the programme as you want, and decide for yourself whether to simply relish the moments alone, or to make new friends.

Single rooms are available, including some with en-suite, but these are popular so book early. There are also a variety of beautiful twin and triple rooms which we book people into together if they are happy to share with someone of their own gender. (Couples and families can of course share a room as well.)
