About the Venue

Tilton House  is a wonderful venue.

Charleston Farmhouse, home to the Bloomsbury set, shares the same private road, which winds into a network of footpaths that is The South Downs Way.

Tip: arrive early and view Charleston House (who do a great afternoon tea).

Walk up onto the downs and find expansive views over the English Channel, stirring to the soul on any day.

The garden has many mature trees, you could sling one of the many hammocks and relax to the sound of birdsong.

For the more energetic there is a tennis court hidden behind a row of ash trees.

The firepit in a woodland clearing provides the perfect setting for spinning yarns and stargazing as night closes in.

It's known that Lydia Lopokova the Russian Ballerina was inspired to dance on the lawns under the moonlight.

London is only an hour away and Brighton a 20 min car journey. Glyndebourne is just 10 minutes by car.

The indoor yoga space was originally a study added by Maynard Keynes.

It's a deeply peaceful and atmospheric space with large wall-to-floor arched windows that look south across the downs.

During the warmer months its possible to use the yoga yurt in the grounds and courtyard too.

Keynes said of the place, "There is no better air than here for work."

 

Accommodation

The house was completely redecorated in May 2007, and the bedrooms were decorated using natural materials.

Every room has plenty of character and all have views over either the Sussex Weald or Downs.

From spring to autumn the yoga classes can be held in the outside yoga space - either on the lawns of the gardens or in the shade of the large yoga yurt.

The indoor yoga space is ideal for spiritual practice with large floor to ceiling arched windows that look south across the downs.
