Our Retreats
What to Expect at One of Our Reading Retreats
Slow mornings, tranquil surroundings, and stories that stay with you.
At Her Story Retreat, we’ve created a reading retreat where you can truly exhale — surrounded by women who get it, and grounded in the simple joy of books, rest, and real connection.
You can expect…
- Quiet time to read, reflect, or just be
- Organized group activities like book discussions, creative workshops, and gentle movement — totally optional, always welcoming
- Cozy spaces to journal, nap, or sip tea without interruption
- Nourishing meals and moments that fill you up (in every way)
- Evening chats around the fire, enjoying a glass of wine or two (or three), with like-minded women
- A slower pace — no pressure, no perfection, just presence
- Come to read. Stay to reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with the story that’s still unfolding in you.

Lake District: Reading Retreat
Nestled in the heart of the Eden Valley, our luxury reading retreat offers a haven for book lovers in a beautifully refurbished traditional stone building, complete with private access to a serene natural waterfall. With just 8 double rooms, this exclusive gathering promises intimacy, comfort, and a deep connection to nature.
Unwind in the outdoor hot tub or sauna, curl up by open fires, or mix your own drinks at our beautifully stocked self-serve cocktail station. Gourmet offerings include fresh pastries each morning, comforting soup lunches, and indulgent luxury buffet dinners — all complemented by wine, teas, coffees, and local treats.
Alongside quiet reading and connection, guests will enjoy a special etching workshop led by a talented local artist — a chance to spark creativity in the tranquil Lake District surroundings.
Join us for a one-of-a-kind retreat where literature meets luxury, and time slows to the turn of a page.
