Come & rejuvenate in a unique environment!

Gaunts House is a Victorian mansion set in acres of rolling Dorset countryside.
It is home to the Richard Glyn Foundation, a registered educational charity that embraces education, environmentalism, healing and spirituality.
We offer week long holidays with room and full board at £90, or camping and full board at £55.
Holidays run from Monday to Sunday with a free day on Saturday. You will need to bring toe-protective footwear, warm all-weather clothing and a sense of humour! We invite people aged 17+. Daily task time is around five hours, which leaves plenty of time to explore the house, grounds and local area. There are woodland walks around the estate, an extensive library and an outdoor swimming pool. Historic Wimborne Minster and seaside Poole are within easy reach
A warm welcome awaits you!
