The location should not to be confused with Houghton Regis, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire.
The Chapel became part of the United Reformed Church (URC) and continued as the village non-conformist place of worship until the 1980s.
By then membership had fallen to just six and the URC decided that it was no longer viable as an independent chapel.
The URC, under the leadership of the Minister of the Free Church in St Ives, planned and supervised the conversion of the chapel building into a residential retreat centre that opened in 1986.
The Retreat is used by a wide variety of groups including churches, guides, brownies, other youth groups, and families.
In addition, many organisations hire The Retreat for day-time or evening conferences and meetings.
The Retreat remains a consecrated building and there is a regular pattern of services throughout the year.
