• Thie dy Vea Retreat House -

    welcome to our 'House of Life'

    We're a Guest and Retreat house in the ancient cathedral city of Peel on the Isle of Man. We're registered with Visit Isle of Man as a provider of Guest Accommodation with a 3-star silver award.

    We're surrounded by sea and rolling hills, and enjoy clear night skies.

    We count ourselves privileged to call this beautiful island our home.

    We invite you to come and share it with us for a while, to be refreshed .... find peace ... and discover more of your purpose for living.
