Renting the centre
You can hire Maitreya House for Buddha Dharma and related spiritual activities. We have no hard and fast rules about who can use the centre, except that we will only offer it to those who will respect its purpose and values.
Many visiting Lamas from all over the world are invited to teach at Maitreya House, which is closely linked with The Orchard, a centre for T'ai Ji and meditation that is situated just across the road.
Rental covers accomodation and usage of the facilities. There is a kitchen with a gas range in the main house and all the pots and pans etc. are included (and a kitchenette in the studio). You will need to provide a Cook or share cooking and bring or arrange food delivery. There are well stocked local shops about 5 minutes drive away.
Rental prices for 2025 per night. The rental period starts at 3pm until noon the following day - please enquire if you wish to extend beyond these times:
| House only, min. rental | £ 135 |

The studio can be booked separately from the house. It has two single beds.
There is wifi on site, located in the studio (with limited range), with an ethernet cable link to the house. Mobile signals are poor.
By arrangement, a large zendo is sometimes available separately from The Orchard next door.
