Pack a book. We’ll take care of the rest.

Bound & Co retreats are thoughtfully designed escapes for readers, with time to slow down, switch off and get lost in a good book.

​

From restorative two-night stays to more social three-night escapes, every retreat balances reading, beautiful experiences and genuine connection, always with solo guests in mind.

​

Come for the books, stay for the people, and leave feeling a little more restored.

     TESTIMONIALS     

Sage

I’ve found a place where I always feel welcomed, safe and cared for at the Bound to Escape retreats. Annabel goes above and beyond to make sure everyone feels comfortable and included. As a disabled guest, I never once felt like a burden for requesting accommodations or asking questions about accessibility.

 

You’ll always find something relaxing and enjoyable to do — like the fun game nights + group activities or finding a beautiful spot to get some reading done. Even just disappearing back to your room for some quiet time is encouraged. I never felt pressured to join in on any of the pre-organised activities, and I was totally in control of how much or little I participated, with no judgement either way.

 

Annabel has created such a beautiful environment for these events where whether you’re going solo, a first time guest or just a little nervous, you will be welcomed with open arms from the second you arrive — not just from Annabel, but everyone attending. I can’t think of a single person I’ve met at these events that I didn’t share a lovely conversation with or a good laugh.

 

If you’ve been wondering about whether or not you should book a Bound to Escape retreat, this is your sign!!!
