The Base Vegan Retreat Animal Sanctuary

Proud to be based in Bristol (the UK's Vegan capital!) our retreat and animal sanctuary offers the truly unique experience of being surrounded by beautiful rescued animals while staying in a luxury bespoke built cabin with a view. We also have an outdoor spa area bookable for your exclusive use. Cabin and spa bookings fund our not-for-profit animal sanctuary.

Luxury Guest Cabin

The cabin is at the top of the garden, surrounded by animals with views and optional use of the outdoor spa area (extra charge). Cooked breakfast and afternoon teas are available up to the end of August 2026. Book your stay and enjoy a unique experience which also supports the costs of the sanctuary and our campaigning work.

House Rule #1:

Animal derived food products are not allowed on the premises.

This includes meat, fish, milk, cheese, butter & eggs and food products containing such ingredients.

Whilst we accept innocent mistakes, flagrant breaches of this rule will be dealt with seriously. This is to protect the sanctity of our vegan retreat for all guests, current and future. A note about pet food.

The luxury cabin with a view, at the top of the garden, has an elevated position, the decked terrace gives open views of the mature gardens and dramatic sunrises over the rolling Cotswolds beyond. The cabin is a bespoke self build with a calm and spacious interior.

The entrance opens into a studio area which is open plan to the fully equipped kitchen. The studio area has a large L shaped lounger containing a double sofa bed and a private bathroom. There is a separate adjoining bedroom with a king size bed. Underfloor heating through out and a wood burner makes it warm and cosy all year.

The kitchen is fully equipped with espresso pod coffee maker, dishwasher, washer and dryer. Towels, hairdryer, iron and travel cot are also included as are other essentials like coffee pods, firewood and loo roll.

Breakfast

Due to other animal commitments, we are no longer offering breakfast to any new bookings. However, the cabin does have a fully equipped kitchen which makes it easy and fun to prepare your own.

The cabin also includes an espresso pod machine, smart TV and underfloor heating throughout and a real wood burner for extra cosy winter evenings.

Small Animal Sanctuary

We have rabbits, turkeys, ducks, guinea pigs, dogs and a cat, all rescued from harm and neglect. Taking some time to see the individual in each one allows us to see 'who' they are. They roam free in the garden during the day, doing the things they need to do. We have aimed to make the whole place and guest experience testament to why putting animals first is the most beneficial thing we can do individually, socially and globally.

Our VIP animal guests are granted a free stay for life. It is central to what we do. Having someone to look after is good for the soul.
Although they are mainly an endearing nuisance, it is a pleasure to watch these lucky souls who have landed on their feet and are finally allowed to do the little things that make them who they are. Dirt baths, digging, sunbathing, having 'food fights' and playing territorial gangsta tag.

Exclusive Spa Sessions

Endulge in our new outdoor spa area where you can get warmed up in the hot tub, chill in the cold plunge and relax in the sauna. Chat, eat and drink in the sheltered pergola lounge whilst watching the rescued VIPs. Full details here.

Location

We are located east edge of Bristol, convenient for Bath. Just 20 minutes' drive to Bristol's vibrant city centre, and 30 mins to the picturesque and historic city of Bath.

Staying at The Base feels like you're in the countryside yet we are under 5 minutes' leafy stroll to the hidden Aspects Leisure Park with multi-screen cinema, restaurants with good vegan options, a pub, 10 pin bowling, gym and swimming pool! A few minute's further walk is Gallagher Retail Park with clothes shops, 24 hour supermarket, Subway, Starbucks and Costa Coffee.

Cock Road Ridge is on our doorstep and is ideal for taking The Dog out for a walk. It has tracks through meadows and wooded areas, hills and views.


Animal Advocacy

Campaigning against our dominion over animals and promoting an evolution of humanity is an essential extension of our work.
