CALDEY ABBEY & CALDEY ISLAND RETREATS

This guest house is ideal for families and small groups, or individuals wishing to enjoy a quiet and spiritually refreshing break on Caldey. All the bedrooms are situated at ground level with just three steps to use. You should be aware that St Philomena's is approached on one side by a steep hill and by steep woodland steps on the other.

The house enjoys a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with all meals being taken communally in the dining room where you are also welcome to make hot drinks whenever you wish. Accommodation is full board and meals are freshly prepared by Peter and Dawn, the managers. Although St Philomena's has no television, there is a well stocked library and plenty of board games. Two small quiet reading rooms are also provided.

St Philomena's is a few minutes walk from Priory Bay which has an extensive sandy beach and is the safest spot on the island from which to bathe in the sea.
