"REST + READ" with Ease

West Wales

6th-9th February 2026

When was the last time you read without guilt? Without checking your phone?

Without feeling like you should be doing something more productive?

This weekend, give yourself permission to do nothing but rest and read.

'Rest & Read with Ease' is a rejuvenating weekend retreat for women who

love books but rarely give themselves time to actually read them.

Set in a stunning beach house along the Cardiganshire coast,

this is your invitation to slow down, pick up that book you've been meaning

to read, and remember what it feels like to lose yourself in a story.

No schedules. No productivity pressure. No guilt.

Just you, your books, and the sound of the sea.

WHERE: Nestled in the picturesque bay of Tresaith, West Wales, our retreat takes place in a beautiful 7-bedroom beach house that stands proud with panoramic views of the ocean. This coastal abode offers the perfect setting to rest and read for the entire weekend. Key features: Breathtaking location... Almost all bedrooms boast sea views, immersing you in the coastal beauty. Natural environment... Close by a waterfall cascades onto the beach, adding to the serene atmosphere. Opportunities to explore... Stunning coastal walks lead to neighbouring villages, perfect for mindful strolls.

Spacious Communal Areas: A large kitchen-diner for feasting and engaging in meaningful conversation. A cosy lounge stretching the length of the house, featuring a log burner, bookshelves and ample comfortable seating for reading, writing or napping. Seven bedrooms, most with sea views. A shared bathroom on the first floor and a spacious shower room on the second floor. This delightful retreat provides the ideal environment to disconnect from digital distractions and reconnect with yourself through resting and reading. The combination of breathtaking scenery, comfortable living spaces and thoughtful amenities creates a perfect backdrop for our Rest & Read weekend retreat, allowing you to truly unwind and rejuvenate in a serene setting.

Please note this is a non-alcohol retreat.

What to expect:

A weekend designed for book lovers!

This isn't a book club. It's not a reading challenge.

It's a sanctuary for women who've forgotten what it feels

like to read for pleasure without the world demanding their attention.

You'll arrive at a beautiful beach house with shelves lined with books, cosy reading nooks, and windows that frame the Welsh coastline. The weekend unfolds at your pace, no rigid schedules, no mandatory activities, just an invitation to rest deeply and read freely.

Your days will include:

Uninterrupted reading time.

Settle into your favourite spot with a book (or three)

and read for as long as you wish. No interruptions. No guilt.

Indulge in our 'go back to bed' policy.

No alarm clocks. Sleep as long as your body needs.

Wake naturally. Return to bed with a book if that's what calls to you.

(oh we'll also deliver your morning cuppa straight to your room)

Coastal walks.

Gentle walks along the Cardiganshire coast to clear your

head between chapters or process what you've read.

Nourishing meals.

Healthy, delicious food prepared with care.

Book discussions (optional).

Share what you're reading if you'd like, or keep it private.

There's no pressure to discuss or interact.

Journalling prompts.

For those who want to reflect on what they're reading

or process their thoughts on the page.

Cosy reading nooks.

Fire, blankets, soft lighting, hot drinks.

Everything designed for maximum reading comfort.

Time to simply be.

Rest. Daydream. Stare out at the sea.

Do absolutely nothing if that's what you need.

Sea swimming (optional).

For the brave, a dip in the sea to wake up your senses

before settling back in with your book.

Women's circle (optional).

Gentle conversations about books, reading, life.

Only if you want to. Silence is equally welcome.

☐You love books but can't remember the last time you read one without distraction
