George in Findhorn

I booked a 28 day retreat, but because I started a new job I had to change it into a 14 day retreat. My accomodation was the bunk house. I thought I would be together with other people doing the retreat or workshops, but there was a permanent change: a man who was hiking stayed only one night. Two women came to have a party- so it was a permanent coming and going. Next time I'll stay in a B&B. And: nearby was a soccer field and a boxing sack with a permanent "boom boom". - The first week I had a wonderful workshop with Barbara Svetina. Without this week I'd have been lost. In the second week the electronic calendar was wrong: I went to Forres, but there was no circle dance. Wonderful was the Taize singing every morning! I loved the circle dances! There should be more events like this, may be a get together in the evening. Thank you for everything and all the people who make it possible to be in Findhorn! One thing: there are definitly to many cars in a öko-village!!! Blessings and light! Georg Link, Berlin/Germany

The location was ideal for our 10-day programme. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped to prepare breakfast and warm
up the food brought in by the caterer. Beautiful space for socialise around the table. Efficient and friendly staff. Definitely recommended!

Great stay wonderful place

The room was everything I needed.
The bunkhouse had a lovely spacious open plan kitchen, dining space and living room and two bathrooms with showers. Everyone I met was friendly and respectful.
I would definitely stay again and would recommend to family and friends.
The area is beautiful to explore the sea near for a swim - great stay thank you.

Great experience

We stayed a week in the guest lodge. Loved it! Community is welcoming and really friendly, they shared their experiences from the heart. Lots of chances to sing, meditate, dance (which I didn’t think I’d enjoy). I was so busy I didn’t get time to go on any tours or yoga. I made space for going to the beach for a walk and swim every day. Cafe and shop are mind blowing. Buildings are fascinating. A little confusing at the start of the week, with so much going on in different places and no centralized place like a reception for visitors, it would have been good to have had an official welcome with better explanation and a visitors survival leaflet.
