Residential Retreats 2026 at Knock House Hotel & Knock Shrine
Across the year, four distinct 4-night residential retreats invite guests to experience deep spiritual renewal at Knock House Hotel, set beside the serene and sacred grounds of Knock Shrine. Each retreat is shaped by its own reflective theme, while sharing the same restful and soul-nurturing rhythm — Dinner, Bed & Breakfast accommodation, daily Mass, Rosary sessions, spiritual talks, and generous time for quiet contemplation and personal prayer.
These retreats offer a rare opportunity for meaningful me-time in a tranquil environment, allowing guests to step away from daily demands and reconnect with faith, purpose, and inner peace. Together, the four themed retreats provide a year-round invitation to nurture the soul through guided spirituality, peaceful surroundings, and moments of learning, healing, and renewal.
Groups are also welcome.
