I visited The Metta Centre recently, when my karate club Masuri in Highams Park london E4, arranged a week of multi-art training. Tranquil location, breath taking scenery. A warm family welcome from Jeff and Nicky. so whatever your pleasure, whether it be climbing, walking or just a pampering chill out this is the place to be. more

This was my second visit to the Metta Centre and it was even better than the first. Staying the centre is like staying at a second home, very relaxing and the region is absolutely beautiful. A special place run by special people. more

I was part of a group of around 16 Wing chung students who stay at the Matta centre for some serous training. Boy we got that but we also got so much more. Nicky and Jeff have got to be the most amazing couple to put up with all of us. Nicky cooking reminds you of home and Jeff went... more

I arranged for a party of 13 martial artists to spend the week at the Metta Centre based on the contents of their website, and if anything they exceeded our expectations.

I travelled to the Metta Centre last year as part of an outing arranged by my martial arts school - we stayed for a week and found the experience blissfully relaxing and very worth while. As well as making use of the dojo to do our own training, many of us booked one-to-one or one-to-two sessions with Master Sawyer to... more

My visit to the Metta Centre last September was a truly unique experience. It was so incredible that when describing it to friends, I often find it difficult to express quite how fantastic it really was! Hopefully I have done a better job here. To some, a martial arts retreat may appear quite an alien concept, but I have no... more

I went to the Metta Centre with my Taekwondo Instructor and other fellow Taekwondo students. What an experience! The days preceding the trip where charged with tension, high stress levels and long hours at work! At one point it looked like I was not going to be able to go due to professional commitments! Very fortunately for me, I made... more
