Chocolate box villages and quintessential countryside. Experience England of old at this 15th century manor house and discover why Painswick is titled “the Queen of the Cotswolds”.

Celebrate your love of reading, rejuvenation and yoga in the hybrid retreat that allows you to connect with both in a peaceful getaway! Where your only responsibilities are relaxation and exploring a new destination.

Enjoy reading your book nestled into the cozy accommodations or lounging in or by the pool, chat with fellow book lovers and share your favourites while discovering new titles to love, move your body in ways that nourish, explore the cobblestreet shops and take in the breathtaking views, see the magical gardens, cuddle, feed and take a walk with some alpaca's (YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT!!), eat delicious meals prepared by our very own chef and yes lots of free time to explore and soak up your surroundings of this quaint town.

LOCATION
A medieval marvel dropped into the narrow Cotswold streets of Painswick !
Balancing old and new, our stay is a restored Cardynham House to its ancestral beauty, with contemporary additions creating a characterful internal courtyard.
Enjoy modern comfort in an historic setting, with amenities including an outdoor heated pool, alfresco kitchen, cinema snug and firepit. There are also options for single and shared rooms.
A former 18th century embroidery workshop inside has been converted into not only a stunning dining room for our meals but also one of the places where we will do yoga (the other is beside the pool!)
