What some of our guests say...

"You are guaranteed to have a wonderful retreat. Ann and Mark are thoughtful, generous and kind. They hand over the precious Nanpantan Hall and grounds into your safekeeping to structure your own retreat. There are available and very helpful if you need anything practical. The grounds are wonderful and there is amazing energy. The Hall gives you stunning views over Charnwood Forest and provides you with external spaciousness so that internal work can be done in a safe and nurturing space ."

"I am the corresponding secretary for the Leicestershire Meditation Circle of Self-Realization Fellowship. We meet weekly for our meditation services in Quorn, Leicestershire. As coordinator for our group’s retreats, I was very fortunate to have found Nanpantan Hall on our doorstep. Nanpantan Hall is beautifully situated in Charnwood Forest with spectacular views across the rolling hills and woods looking towards Bradgate Park. We have held three one day retreats at the Hall in the last few years and in 2020, a weekend retreat in early September. The hall has a wonderful atmosphere, full of peace and tranquillity. It was a great place to have a meditation retreat, and the sense of space and expansive views helped us all to let go of the outside world for a short while, and relax, unwind, go deeper into our meditation and stillness within. Everyone who took part was very keen for us to hold another retreat at the Hall as soon circumstances allowed. Mark and Ann are great to deal with, very straightforward, and helpful in every way, striking a great balance between being there if we needed anything, but at the same time being unintrusive as we got on with our retreat. Thank you so much for all your help and generosity towards us, and we look forward to our next retreat in the very near future."

"Mark and Ann are the most wonderful hosts I've ever met. They were so accommodating, responsive, kind and helpful throughout our stay and made us feel so welcomed by taking care of the little things. The beautiful scenic location is tucked away from all the noise and the serene ambience is perfect for any retreat. We held a mindfulness meditation retreat over a long weekend twice over the past year and were blown away by the size of the halls, bedrooms and level of cleanliness. I highly recommend anyone looking for an event space or a retreat to book now as they are highly sought after! We're looking forward to booking again not only for the magnificent hall and picturesque location but also for the most caring and genuine hosts I've ever come across - Mark and Ann."

"Nanpantan Hall has proved to be an ideal place for our Inspire retreats. A magnificent Manor House set in beautiful surroundings and grounds, with a variety of rooms to run different activities in, and excellent bedroom/bathroom facilities, with an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen. It feels like a home away from home, where everyone can enjoy, unwind and relax. The team are always at hand and a pleasure to deal with."

"Nanpantan Hall is a hidden delight that is well worth searching out. It is a wonderful venue for that ‘get away from it all’ event. It is very accessible, just five minutes from the M1, but it has that special feeling of a peaceful venue. I have organised quite a few residential events at Nanpantan Hall over a number of years. It has been a delight to see the continuous improvement throughout the building. The attention to detail is impressive. There is now a really good combination of modern facilities and a beautiful traditional setting. The mystery of Nanpantan is hard to put into words. There is something very subtle in the atmosphere that facilitates clearer thinking and clearer feeling. On many occasions, there has been a revelation, a depth of understanding, a clarity of vision, that somehow has only been made possible through being in this unique location. Mark and Ann are very helpful. They look after all the little things to make sure that everything runs as efficiently and as smoothly as possible. If there is anything that you need any help with, just give them a ring."
