Welcome to Parsonage Side Retreat
A purpose-built residential centre established in 2004 by the Bexx family, located in the peaceful hamlet of Otterhampton, Somerset, UK. Nestled among rolling hills and serene countryside, it offers the perfect sanctuary for retreat, self-discovery, and reconnecting with yourself.

Inspired by The Monroe Institute in Virginia, USA — renowned for its pioneering research in consciousness exploration, Out-Of-Body Experiences (OOBEs), and advanced binaural beat technology (Hemi-Sync) — Parsonage Side Retreat was created to provide a similar supportive environment here in the UK.

Ladrhyn’s father, having experienced an OOBE years ago, visited the property in the non-physical realm, guiding the family uniquely throughout the years. Recognizing a need for a dedicated retreat centre with audio connections at each bed for group-guided meditation sessions, the Bexx family spent seven years building this centre as a place where individuals can embark on their own personal journeys and hands-on experiences.

Accommodation & Facilities
The retreat accommodates up to 17 guests, with:

  • 2 single rooms

  • 3 twin rooms

  • 3 triple rooms
    Each room features its own en-suite bathroom, designed for comfort and privacy. The venue also includes spacious group rooms ideal for retreats, workshops, and other gatherings, ensuring a quiet, distraction-free environment.

Location
Situated approximately 6 miles northwest of Bridgwater, the retreat benefits from close proximity to both the coast and tranquil rural landscapes. It lies along several healing ley lines, enhancing the spiritual energy of the grounds. The site is just 40 minutes from Glastonbury and one hour from Bristol Airport, making it accessible yet perfectly secluded.

Unique Features

  • Set on ancient grounds once used by monks, filled with powerful energy

  • Spacious gardens surrounded by woodland and a nearby nature reserve

  • Wheelchair accessible facilities

  • Ample parking and reliable Wi-Fi

  • Locally sourced food options available

Parsonage Side Retreat provides a harmonious and nurturing environment, ideal for solitude, relaxation, and profound personal transformation. We welcome like-minded individuals and groups throughout the year.

How to Find Us

For SAT NAV users:
The postcode TA5 2PT will take you to the middle of Otterhampton hamlet, just over the hill from the Hill House turning. You’ll see a church on your left and two joined cream cottages on your right. Parsonage Side Retreat is the very next property down the road on the right.

For best accuracy, use Google Maps and search for Parsonage Side Retreat, or use the What3Words app and enter:

For non-SAT NAV / map users:
If you are familiar with Minehead: From Bridgwater, follow the signs for Minehead on the A39 until you reach Cannington. In Cannington, look for Cannington College and use that as a reference point. Then head north toward Hinkley Point.

Drive past the village of Combwich on your right and continue up the hill on the Hinkley Point road. About 500 yards after the hill, look for a “Watch out for horses” sign and slow down. You’ll see the sign for Hill House Christian Centre on your right — turn there and head down the hill.

Shortly after, you’ll see another Hill House Centre sign on the right — do not turn here; continue straight down the hill. On a clear day, you may see the coastline of the Bristol Channel ahead.

As you continue down, you’ll find a church on your left and two joined cream cottages on your right — this is not us. Continue straight ahead and Parsonage Side Retreat will be the next property on the right, clearly signposted.

Drive in, and you will be warmly welcomed by a member of our team.
