Spicy Romance Reading Retreat
Berriew, wales
13-16th august
For the book lovers who like their stories a little steamy.
A playful, indulgent escape for smut-loving readers who want to winnow away to Velaris or ride off into the sunset bareback with their favourite bull rider, but are happy to settle with the Welsh Countryside for 3 nights.
This isn’t just a reading getaway. It’s a long weekend of pure bliss where your only to-do list is: eat well, read freely, laugh often.
Over 3 nights, you’ll:
✨ Hang out in the hot tub with your latest book boyfriend.
✨ Linger over long lunches that melt into blushing book-club confessions.
✨ Laugh out loud & share your “did they really just do that?!” moments.
