Because our origins are so closely tied to the growth of the Findhorn Foundation, we maintain close links with the Foundation, Cluny Hill College, The Park, the New Findhorn Association (NFA) and the wider community that has evolved around these organisations and sites.

Newbold’s history dates back to 1893 when the house was designed and built (over several years) for the Woodcock family. Colonel Woodcock was a retired Officer who had served in India and subsequently made his fortune trading tea.

Newbold House is a community of people from different walks of life who share a common vision for Newbold’s aims, values and services. This includes providing a loving and nurturing environment for our guests who come here on workshops; retreats; as working guests or simply to enjoy the hospitality that we offer.
