Escape into a day designed just for romance lovers. Our retreat is all about slowing down, connecting, and indulging in the stories we love most.
Spend the day your way, whether that’s diving into your current read, joining writing and discussion sessions, or simply unwinding with like-minded readers. Enjoy delicious food, cosy spaces perfect for reading, and opportunities to explore your creativity. For those looking to add a touch of luxury, spa access is also available.
