Camelot Retreat — 6 Meadow View, UK

A Glastonbury bed and breakfast and retreat house at the foot of the Tor

Camelot Retreat stands at 6 Meadow View in Glastonbury, Somerset, at the foot of the Tor, with views over the meadows towards Wirral Hill. Chalice Well, the White Spring, the Abbey and the High Street are all within ten minutes' walk. By its owner's account, the house began with a dream. Valerye Dayton, a clairvoyant medium and Reiki master, says she was guided to open a retreat centre in Glastonbury, and to a house in direct alignment with the Tor. She had only enough money for the deposit, and says guidance came on how to find the balance. Camelot opened in April 2011. There are four guest rooms, each coloured with intent. The Egyptian Room is purple, with a kingsize bed. The Archangel Michael Room is apricot, with a double. The Chalice Room is a pale purple twin with close views of the Tor, and the Merlin Room is a single. Rooms start at £25 per person per night. The house is vegetarian, non-smoking and alcohol-free. Guests have a meditation room with crystals, a library of spiritual books and DVDs, a TV room, a kitchen they may use at any time, and a garden with a pond. The programme is built around Dayton's own work. Guided retreats run two to five days. One- and two-day courses cover Usui, Tibetan, Karuna and Anubis Reiki, and there is an Ascended Masters Course. Anubis Reiki is Dayton's own modality, which she says she channeled after remembering a life as a Priestess of Isis. She also offers destiny readings, past life regression, colour therapy and visits to sacred sites including Avebury and Stonehenge.
