Meet the latest member of the team at St Columba’s House!
Columb-owl will be watching over our newly installed solar panels, preventing birds roosting on them. We have covered the entire flat roof of the main building at St Columba’s House with solar panels to power the House with solar generated electricity.
We hope to meet 2/3rds of our electricity usage through solar generation. It’s all part of our efforts to move towards carbon neutrality. We hope (sun permitting) your next visit to St Columba’s House will be powered by solar!

We recently said a fond farewell to one of our trustees, Maggy Wallace. Maggy has been at the heart of St Peter's Charity (which owns Saint Columba's House) for many years. We thank Maggy for her many years of service and wish her all the best for the future.

We’re delighted that she is already booked to come back as a guest to some of our events in the next few months. So it’s farewell and see you soon

"We really enjoyed our stay with you - we had a lot of positive feedback from the group whilst we were with you. For us the centre worked really well - it was especially good that we were the only residential guests, which made the house 'our own'. That was a bonus for us.
People were very positive about the accommodation and the food, and the place in general, and liked that it was easy to get to by road/rail and air." Los Olivos Retreats

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We enjoyed hosting your group here at Saint Columba's House and hope to welcome you again in the future.
