Feedback
"We were blessed with two days of beautiful sunshine which meant we were able to be outside for much of our stay - wonderful when you consider the Franciscan spirituality of seeing God in all of creation, and especially when the farm at Cold Ash is home to such delightful creatures as goats, pigs, chickens, hens, a turkey and a gorgeous dog called Ben.
As well as being fed spiritually, we were fed with many delicious meals, morning coffee, afternoon tea, biscuits, cakes and to round off the day, hot chocolate! The staff even received a half dozen box of eggs each - fresh from the farm and collected by the Lower Sixth!
With beautiful surroundings, extremely comfortable accommodation, wonderful food, challenging and thought-provoking input, the best ever Retreat Team and a fantastic Year group, we were blessed so much by God and by one another... we cannot wait to go back!"

"As always we had an amazing weekend at Coldash. The Coldash community were perceptive and supportive to the needs of our group. They were respectful and unobtrusive and clearly understood the balance between support and availability. Perfect environment and a joy to spend a weekend amongst friends."

"We had a pleasant time at Cold Ash. The rooms and facilities in general were adequate and the staff very friendly. It was also a great bonus to have access to the grounds and nearby wood."

"I found the Cold Ash Centre very welcoming. The food was good, the Sisters very kind and I would certainly recommend it to the Church groups, in particular to the Youth groups. God bless."

"It would be great to visit again sometime in the future. My experience at the Centre will always be memorable. I had a sense of belonging and did not feel isolated. Thank you to all of you, for your dedication to welcome anybody and everybody and for all your hard work in spoiling us with your love and care. Thank you too to all the Sisters at the Convent who welcomed us all with open arms.

"This was one of the best Christmas celebration I've personally experienced! Fr. Danny OFM, Srs. Kumari, Tien and Marcilla FMM made us feel very welcomed and looked after us so well! It actually felt like celebrating Christmas with family in a home environment. I especially enjoyed the fact that our faith and the Christmas message was so central to our stay. Thank you very much for your care and hospitality."
