Hastings Retreat

Hastings Retreat sits next to Hicks Lodge Cycle Centre in the National Forest, so the stay is built around easy access to cycling and countryside time.

Hastings Retreat is a self-catering barn-conversion stay at Hill Farm in Willesley Woodside, near Ashby de la Zouch. The setting is rural rather than hotel-like, with converted farm buildings, outdoor terrace space, and a private fishing lake for guests staying at the retreat.

The room setup is practical for an independent stay. Accommodation includes kitchen facilities, with kitchenettes, refrigerators, and microwaves confirmed, and bathrooms are private, with bathtubs in some rooms and showers in some rooms.

The strongest on-site benefits are parking, free Wi-Fi, and the hot tubs available with some of the barns. The private lake is part of the Hastings Retreat grounds, and the property is positioned for guests who want their stay to include quiet outdoor space without needing a full-service hotel format.

The retreat also has a sustainability angle that is part of the property itself. It is powered by a wind turbine, uses carbon-free energy, and has measures such as energy-efficient heating and cooling, energy-efficient lighting, recycling, and refillable toiletry containers.

Choose Hastings Retreat in Ashby de la Zouch if you want a countryside self-catering base with parking, private bathrooms, kitchen facilities, and outdoor space on the property. It is better understood as a rural barn retreat than as a conventional hotel with daily hotel services.
