WEEKENDS ON THE SUNDAY NIGHT

this does not apply to those staying in the dorm room at the reduced price

 

We charge £150 ( dorm ) £200 ( single / twin ) £400 (double ) against your credit card and ask you to bring the remainder in cash to be paid on arrival.

Bank Holiday weekends we charge £200 against your card and ask you to bring the remainder in cash. We are trying to cut down on our banking charges which cripple us.

If you wish to stay on after the workshop for an extra night or two, we offer B&B at £30 single / £55 double -  per night.

We price our workshops in £ and make it simple for you... No Euro price, no foreign currency to convert and no extra costs to be added for accommodation, meals or anything.  The price you see is the price you pay and no-one, and we mean NO-ONE can compare with our prices, our expertise, our luxurious surroundings and our value for money - which at the end of the day, concerns us all. 

With between 30 - 35% increase in the last year in the cost of our electricity - gas - trash collection - insurance - water - sewage, petrol - and  our council tax  - this is our first price increase since 2006. Our charges still cannot be equaled by anyone else and the value of your stay and workshop cannot be beaten.  Please be respectful of this.

Just one weekend is all you need.  You know who we are. You know where we are. You can see the venue and read all about your facilitator / host and speak to him any time you wish.  We make everything plane and simple and not confusing and that - we believe, is exactly how it should be.  Any questions - see the FAQ ( Frequently Asked Questions page )  to your left.

Arrival time is between 4pm and 6.30pm - and we serve dinner at 7pm. 

Earlier arrivals can be arranged around walking my dog

VALUE

that's because we are

people motivated and not profit driven

Your host and facilitator - John Bellamy - owns and runs Hamilton Hall and so can offer these exclusive workshops to gay and bisexual men at a reduced price that others simply cannot compete with.   Other groups have to rent cold and cheerless surroundings and you have to go home at the end of each day or stay in an expensive hotel somewhere which is all an extra cost to you.  We at Hamilton Hall believe in keeping the energies whole and united by keeping everyone together for the weekend and with our truly delightful accommodation and lovely surroundings, you feel at home with friends who you can chill with throughout the weekend and RELAX.

NO ONE ELSE OFFERS AS MUCH OR GOES AS FAR AS WE AT HAMILTON HALL

some of our customers comments

Hello John,
 
Thank you for a great weekend on the Massage Workshop. (Easter 2008)  I found the weekend very enlightening in a personal development sense and very healing in a spiritual way . The guys were good company, you were a great teacher and Richard a pleasure to talk to . Good food and good company.....lovely. Thank you once again and hope to see you again maybe nearer the summer months..
 
Richard ( Tattoed Cock Man )

Dear John

I just wanted to write and say how much I appreciated all your hard work  and for making my stay with you over the Bank Holiday Massage weekend so enjoyable. ( August 2007 )    This really surpassed all expectations.   I not only de-stressed but found myself spiritually awakened,   finding answers in my life,   and I met some of the nicest guys I have ever come across and by the end of the weekend I had made some great friends and it had a real family and loving feel to the place.  The food was excellent and the level of tuition was very informative and very useful.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Hamilton Hall to anyone and look forward to returning some day soon   Thank you again

Love xx - Bradley Reynolds

 

Dear John: ref:  Bank Holiday Massage Workshop Weekend - 2007

MANY MANY THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE -  You are a talented, warm, loving person and I am proud to have met you. I know I keep saying it but I cannot thank you enough - you have a remarkable talent which is to be cherished peace, love and happiness always lots of love to you all at Hamilton Hall.
Ken

Dear John: ( August 2007 )

What can I say. What can I do to show my appreciation. I read the piece about your customer who took you to see Streisand as a way of showing his gratitude  for what you offer at Ham Hall - so I thought I would offer to take you on a world cruise on the new Queen Mary.  I cannot afford to pay for it and we will not be going anywhere except maybe the docks in Southampton, but IF I could afford it, there is no one I feel is more worthy of my generous offer, than you ( and who would appreciate this little joke ) Congratulations.   Robert.

Dear John ( October 2006 )

Why oh why can't other people learn from the best ? I visited a masseur today in London - advertised in QX magazine, and he was crap... dreadful massage and as an escort, - because at £90 for an hours massage service one always expects it to be sexual at that price, he hadn't the foggiest clue about sex. He was dim dim dim.  I told him about Hamilton Hall and he just looked blank as if to say...'Why' ?    -I think he thought he  was the best thing since sliced bread and I politely told him he was in error. He acted all hurt but I had to keep going once I started, and so I told him all about your excellence, that you had been an escort and how knowledgeable you are.  I suggested he attend your weekends (remember, I did the Man-2-Man and the Massage weekends)  and I am always amazed at those who make absolutely no effort to be good - or even better than average.

My absolute congratulations to you John.   You really are the very best.   Malcolm. M.W. ( London )

Dear John.  ( November 2006)

WOW BLOODY WOW. What a stunning weekend. I never dreamed I would enjoy myself so much. WOW BLOODY WOW.  A very big thank you for having the guts to open Hamilton Hall and persevere the way you have. The so called gay community obviously don't appreciate what a gem your venue is  - and I shall certainly be telling them.  I attach an aware for excellence.

Ralph N

Dear John:

As an American visiting just for the weekend ( from Texas ) this was well worth the long trip. We Americans can be fussy guys but your venue had it all, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was just what my partner and I wanted and deserved.  I hope those English guys appreciate what they have in their midst.

Keep up the good work buddy.   Marcus and Greg

Dear John:

Your web site - absolutely first class. I have it set as my Home Page. Your massage workshop - stunning. I have not enjoyed myself so much in a long time and as for the laughter, thank you for helping me to laugh again,  it had really been a long time.  I cried during the breath work as it was an emotional experience and I felt so relieved afterwards,  as you would say John,  re-born.  It was an amazing weekend. Thank you.  Ralph. (Liverpool)

Dear John:

Having now experienced both your workshops (M2M and the Massage one) I felt I had to write and say a big thankyou for giving us gay men something with a little more soul and meaning. I was feeling lost - hence my move out of London, as the gay scene is quite shallow and empty of any meaning and especially the gay media and I thought I was the odd one out until I found your web site and was riveted. You prove that there are some decent people left in the world and that sometimes it does not have to be money driven, as I know you are a not for profit place.  The weekends have certainly left a huge impression on me and I shall most certainly be telling everyone I meet about Hamilton Hall.

Michael F. ( Leeds )

John: Big thanks. ( my write English not good ) I need write say this. I feel much good on home return. Friends see change in me. Good change. I pleased. I MUCH pleased.  Massage time with Hamilton Hall very good,  forget never. Thanking you and sending you an award.

Ernesto ( Spain )

 

Dear John:
(January 24th 2005)

Thank you for the wonderful weekend of massage. Any attempt to explain what I derived from the weekend would, at this stage, be trite. It certainly gave me much food for thought. At a basic level the welcome I received from you all at Hamilton Hall, the wonderful meals and the luxury of a double bed all to myself, made for a most enjoyable weekend. As well as yourself, I enjoyed very much the company of the others on the weekend. What a varied, interesting and attractive group of people. Of course, it was much more than this.
I enclose a cheque for £30, and this is the difference in the cost of the Spiritual Virgin weekend and the Massage weekend. I am grateful for the discount but changing weeks was not an inconvenience for me and I am, at present, in a financial position to pay the - well deserved - full amount. You may encounter someone else where a discount would make a difference to their ability to benefit from attending a weekend at Hamilton Hall.
I hope that I will get the opportunity to visit Hamilton Hall once again in the near future,. Meanwhile I wish you well with your projects.

With Love
Hugh

(Hugh changed from a planned Spiritual Virgin weekend to the Massage Weekend and we offered a discount for the inconvenience, and HOW VERY SWEET of him to send the difference as he had enjoyed himself so much. BIG THANK YOU. )

Dear John

Thanks. The word sounds too trite for words in order to  say what I want to say to thank you for such a rewarding weekend recently (Massage - March 2006 )  It was truly wonderful, and after REALLY looking forward to the weekend,  I was MOST CERTAINLY not disappointed.

Thanks . I will return.   Mark ( London )

Dear John.  I had absolutely no idea why I booked the massage weekend and absolutely no idea what I was doing coming down for the weekend,  as it was a last minute thing and I thought ' why not ?'  I am very pleased I did. What a great group of guys and how nice to be able to relax naked ( first time for me ) and how well we all bonded as chums.  I stopped hating myself during the weekend and I started to value I was not the bow wow I saw myself as.  I valued your input about self worth enormously and it answered so many unasked questions that have been in my head for such a long time. Thank you John. 

Brian.

Dear John
( January 28-30 / 2005 ).

Thank you for the weekend just gone. I very much enjoyed and appreciated all aspects of it - your enthusiasm, knowledge and guidance, the Hamilton Hall welcome and ambience, the company who happened to come together for the event, and my own personal experience that came from being there with you. I'm not generally one for attending personal growth events, spiritual retreats etc, and I not only didn't know what to expect of what you offer, but I didn't know how well I would be able to respond. You made it easy to participate un-self-consciously and I felt rewarded with my ability to find new experiences and new feelings which the weekend offered me.
I hope to come back to Hamilton Hall for more pleasure and more experiences.
Best wishes

Martin

Dear John (December 2006)

I have not stopped laughing since I got home and your weekend ( Massage ) was EXACTLY  what I needed in order to rediscover my sense of humour. I was SOOOO serious and stuck in my daily grind and I feel completely different now, all light and fluffy and full of laughter.  Even at work this morning they asked what had happened to cheer me up so much and when I told them,  the look on their faces was worth every penny.   I might have to come again and again and again, if you'll have me.

Five star to you John.

Marvelous. Wonderful. Bloody amazing.

Michael ( London )

.

John,  I did have a wonderful Bank holiday break on your massage course ( August 2007) and thoroughly enjoyed the walk along the beach, the Punch and Judy show and the ice cream you kindly bought for everyone.  I was (am) in total admiration of your talents and skills and knowledge and I do sincerely hope that I get the chance to stay at Hamilton Hall again one day.  But, in the meantime, I wish you every continued and deserved success for the future, you and your business is more than one in a million and I thank you for it.
I went through a number of internal emotions when I was on your course and I found many of your words and stories very comforting, I came across this brief sentence recently and it reminded me of my stay with you:-
While outer events might make one happy or sad, happiness itself is entirely internal, and at all times completely within one's power.
Once again many thanks
Peace and love always
Ken

Cancellation:

Hamilton Hall is very open to discuss cancellation or a date change with you, as nothing is set in stone. We may request evidence in order to facilitate a rebate; otherwise -

WORKSHOP & SPECIAL EVENTS

Less than 14 days notice of cancellation: no refund is available and all outstanding amounts owed to pay the full price will be charged against your credit card so we are fully paid. We also charge a £50 Facilitators Fee as this means our numbers are wrong and the facilitator has to join in the workshop as well as facilitating and we hope this is an incentive NOT to cancel.  If we can fill your space, then the Facilitators Fee is waived. If you are taken seriously and suddenly ill and can provide a relevant and dated personal doctors certificate then we refund 50% towards a future event.

This  charge also applies in all situations where someone,   once started,   leaves the workshop resulting  in the wrong number to work in pairs and the facilitator has to join in.  
 

More than 14 days notice of cancellation: 50% of the amount paid is returned and the remainder kept by Hamilton Hall to cover our staff, admin. and exorbitant banking charges. More than 14 days notice of cancellation, we retain £50 against our costs and return the remainder.
