Our Story

Welcome to Avonddor Nature Retreat, a peaceful escape from the stress and noise of city life. Located in the serene countryside of Ockley, Surrey, just an hour from London, Avonddor offers a space where guests can step away from their routines and reconnect with nature. Unlike large hotels, our boutique retreat provides an intimate, calming environment where modern comfort meets the refreshing beauty of the outdoors.

Avonddor was created with a clear purpose: to offer a tranquil retreat for those who rarely have the chance to experience fresh air and natural surroundings. For many living in fast-paced urban areas, the opportunity to relax in nature is rare. Avonddor fills that need, providing a peaceful sanctuary where guests can unwind and recharge.

We believe in the power of nature to refresh both body and mind, which is why we also offer discounted stays for cancer patients in need of rest and recovery. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where guests can focus on their well-being in a quiet, supportive setting.

Avonddor is a family-run venture, founded by Nicolette and Ladislav in 2019. From the very beginning, they envisioned creating a unique retreat immersed in nature, and their passion has driven every step of the journey. Over the past four years, they have poured countless hours into designing the space, securing planning permission, and thoughtfully enhancing the natural surroundings. While much has been accomplished, Avonddor is always evolving, with new ideas and personal touches continuing to shape its future.

All guests are warmly welcomed to experience the joy of slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful escape or a quiet place to recharge, Avonddor offers a cosy, stylish retreat, the perfect blend of comfort, calm, and the beauty of nature.
