Unplug and Unwind

Luxurious Reading Spots

A book and socks

Find a comfy spot to read, and we'll take care of every detail. You won't need to lift a finger - except to turn a page.

Small Groups

Loving books and reading

Forge meaningful connections with like-minded individuals who share your passion for reading. The retreat provides a warm and welcoming community where book discussions extend beyond the pages and lifelong friendships are born. 

No Expectations

No Expectations

Our only goal is to allow you the freedom and space to get lost in your favourite books - no judgement here! Socialise with other readers, or don't. Spend the day in your PJs or in bed. Bring your books, your e-reader, or a magazine. The important part is that this is your time.

Recreation

No Expectations

A woodland path

While books are the heart of our retreats, each venue offers something different.


Enjoy leisurely walks in nature, explore the nearest town, or simply enjoy the view.

"What an unforgettable weekend we had at Novel Retreats in the Lake District! Tucked away in the heart of Grizedale Forest, our accommodation was the perfect setting to switch off and soak it all in..."

Read Emma's full review

"The retreat was heavenly: a few days of complete relaxation away from the cares and stresses of life. The food was better than 5-star: a daily fare of 3 exquisite meals presented in beautiful, generous portions..."
