“We appreciate all the work you have done to make Garden Cottage a place of peace where we could spend time in prayer - and enjoy some of the surrounding countryside. Thank you for all your hospitality.”

“I have been on holiday with God, and he listened, and he answered!”

“We encountered his love in this quiet, serene place - lovely, warm, five-star, with everything we need for a retreat to re-centre on God. What a blessing it was to find this wonderful place! Thank you Paul and Julie for warmly welcoming us and for praying a blessing over us when we arrived. We were indeed very blessed.”

Had the most enjoyable break with our family in the Stables Cottage. Julie had thought of everything, and there was so much to do in the surrounding area. We were all refreshed in mind, body and spirit. We’ll definitely be back!

We’ve been to Canonbie Christian Retreat Centre twice in the past three years, hiring both cottages. Our children love the gardens and there are so many places to visit. High on the list are the river and playground in Canonbie, Talkin Tarn near Brampton, and Vindolanda Roman Fort near Bardon Mill. Fabulous countryside and wonderful cottages to stay in. Already looking forward to our next visit. A great way to be rejuvanated before returning to church life in London.

Our local church group held our most recent small conference in Byreburnfoot House at the Canonbie Christian Retreat Centre. It was an excellent choice.
Experiencing the Lord’s presence in a prayed-over location proved invaluable. The buffet lunch was great value and appreciated by all. Thank you Julie. It was worth getting away, and it was a very purposeful time.

Having spent many hours praying and walking in the gardens, for me this has been a life-changing experience. It’s such a peaceful spot and praying is so easy in this environment.
