The Briery Retreat & Conference Centre

The Briery is about half a mile from the centre of Ilkley. It describes itself as a 'place of spiritual renewal' where people can find God in an atmosphere of love, prayer, healing and peace. In my experience that is exactly what it offers. There is a programme of events and retreats but the place can also be used privately for time away and reflection. Rooms are good - obviously not Hilton-quality - it's a retreat centre. But they are comfortable and warm and well-appointed. Food is excellent and plentiful. And the feel and welcome of the place is warm and sincere and with practical concern.

Good for retreats and conferences

Well-organised retreat centre with good, sensible COVID precautions. Located on the suburbs of Ilkley it has lovely views over the Yorkshire dales.
