Thie dy Vea Retreat House
Welcome to our 'House of Life.'
We are a Christian retreat house in the ancient cathedral city of Peel on the Isle of Man.
We are surrounded by sea, rolling hills, and clear night skies, and held within the spiritual heritage of the Island.
We invite you to come and be refreshed .... find peace ... and discover more of your purpose for living.
This is what some of our guests are saying about us:
'From the moment I was received at the front door until I was ready to leave, I felt the love of Jesus expressed so freely by each of you in your kindness.' AW, Coleraine, Sept. 2024
'Your care and consideration was such a blessing, and I loved every minute.' CD, Norfolk, August 2024
'Thank you for a lovely stay. I felt cared for and it felt like I was wrapped in a blanket of kindness and peace.' SM, Isle of Man, July 2024'
'Life in abundance - thank you!!' JR, Southend, July 2024
