Luxurious, quirky, fabulous, Retreat Centre Suite

The Fiennes Suite is named in the spirit of travel and adventure. It is in a separate corner of Tarastone Retreat Centre, where you can relax and unwind in complete privacy. You’ll love the large double bedroom with vaulted ceiling and beams, and its sumptuous, superking bed.

Thick, stone walls and thermal curtains keep the early morning light out.
Adjoining is your own hospitality area – with silent fridge, teas, coffees etc. And, naturally, a fabulous private bathroom.

To stay at the Fiennes Suite is to have a personal, retreat experience at Tarastone as you will be the only overnight guests at the retreat centre. The accommodation itself evokes a stylish hotel suite, with all the comforts you expect and possibly a few more. The spirit of travel and adventure is illustrated in many, unusual details.

We pride ourselves on giving guests a warm welcome then….space.

There is a delicious hot and cold continental breakfast that you may have in your suite or “grab and go”.

The Suite is set apart, down its own vaulted landing and corridor, which add to the spacious feeling. We’ve made those areas playful and decorative, featuring paintings, ceramics and extraordinary Canovas wallpapers of Mongolian yurt camps, along with two Harry Potter library doors. It’s brilliant, fun, quirky and completely unique. The bedroom itself is, of course, restful. The bathroom, ultra-modern and fabulous.

In the large bathroom, you’ll find a beautifully tiled walk-in rain shower with excellent pressure. The basin is hewn from stone and set on a stylishly upcycled sewing machine table. The flooring and walls are covered in a natural material that makes it warm underfoot as well as gorgeous.

In the hospitality area there is a small, silent fridge, along with teas, coffees, a kettle and a few little treats. There is also a small seating area here.
