Our Retreats
What to Expect at One of Our Reading Retreats
Slow mornings, tranquil surroundings, and stories that stay with you.
Where our Book Club meet’s hit high energy our Retreats tuck you in for the night…
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
- Organised 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 and even a cocktail bar!
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.
