Garden retreats encourage calm, support relaxation, and create peaceful escapes within your own outdoor space. Busy homes and packed schedules make it hard to find a moment of stillness. The constant noise, clutter, or lack of privacy can affect wellbeing over time.
Garden retreats solve this by providing a quiet, freestanding space dedicated to rest, reflection, or even a mindful hobby. Like our studios, summerhouses, and creative spaces, they’re custom-built to nurture a sense of peace and purpose.
A garden retreat offers more than a change of scenery. It becomes your personal sanctuary, where you can unplug, unwind, and reconnect. Noah retreat structures are handcrafted in the UK with calming materials, soft finishes, and thoughtful design features that make slowing down feel easy.

Every Noah garden retreat can be shaped around your lifestyle and the moments you want to create. Whether you enjoy still mornings with a warm drink, peaceful evenings with soft lighting, or slow weekends spent unwinding, your retreat can be designed to support your ideal way of relaxing.
This is your personal hideaway, and every element is chosen to help you switch off and feel at ease.
Choose the atmosphere you want by selecting the layout that suits your garden and your sense of calm. You can opt for an open-fronted cabin overlooking your garden, a cosy hideaway with windows for privacy, or a fully enclosed retreat with sliding doors for a modern and peaceful finish. You decide the flow, the access, and the look so the space matches how you want to feel inside it.
Select your preferred wall style, whether natural timber or composite cladding in a choice of colours. From there, choose your interior paint finishes, flooring style, and glazing options. These details help shape an environment that feels gentle, soothing, and true to your personal taste. With calming materials and soft tones, your retreat becomes a sanctuary that supports slow living.
We provide the full service from start to finish. Once your building is complete, all that is left for you to do is choose your furnishings, throws, plants, lighting, or décor to bring the retreat to life. This simple and supported process makes it easy to create a space that instantly feels comfortable.
Our garden retreats are engineered to create stillness and preserve it through every season. The materials are chosen not only for their strength and durability but also for their ability to create a soft, calming interior. Your retreat becomes a quiet, dependable place where comfort stays consistent year after year.
Every retreat is fully insulated for all-year use, helping maintain a steady temperature and a peaceful atmosphere. Optional soundproofing can be added to help reduce external noise and enhance the feeling of complete escape.
All Noah garden rooms are built with weatherproof materials to protect the structure throughout the year. Rain, wind, and shifting temperatures are all handled by durable cladding and roofing, ensuring your retreat stays dry, stable, and inviting in every season.
Each retreat is built using heavy-duty materials that provide long-term strength and security. This solid construction keeps your possessions safe and helps the building stand strong through years of relaxation, reflection, and quiet use.
Your retreat can be whatever you need it to be, whether that is a place for yoga, mindfulness, journaling, stretching, reading, or simply switching off in silence. The flexibility of the space allows it to grow with your needs and support a variety of calming activities.
Our team works closely with you to shape a space that supports your personal sense of calm. With simple steps and a clear, reassuring process, we ensure your retreat is built with care from start to finish.
We begin by understanding what relaxation means for you. Whether you imagine quiet mornings, cosy evenings, or a dedicated mindfulness space, your vision helps guide the entire design.
You select the materials, insulation, lighting, glazing, and layout that align with your idea of stillness. This step shapes the retreat into a space that supports your emotional and practical needs.

Our installation team delivers and assembles your garden retreat with minimal disruption. Every detail is handled with care and attention, leaving you with a fully finished space ready for use.
Most garden rooms fall under permitted development rights, but some areas—such as conservation zones—can have different rules. It’s best to check with your local council. If you live in a listed building, you may need planning permission.
As a general guide, a garden room under 30 sq m, no higher than 2.5 m, and built in your rear garden will usually meet permitted development rules. Larger buildings, structures used for business, anything over 2.5 m near a boundary, or projects within conservation areas may still require approval, so always confirm with your local authority.
We’ve also created a simple guide that explains the main rules, exceptions, and how to keep your project compliant.
Garden retreats are designed as private, tranquil spaces for unwinding. You can use one for reading, meditating, yoga, creative hobbies, or just enjoying peace and quiet.
