Saturday

Slow Mornings & Soulful Moments

Ease into the day the Cotswolds way- slow, cosy, and completely stress-free. Wake up to the smell of fresh coffee and a leisurely breakfast lovingly prepared by our private chef. Whether you choose to sip your tea in the window seat, journal by the fire, or chat in your slippers with the girls, this morning is all about relaxing into the rhythm of the retreat.

Once you’re ready, we’ll gather for 90 minutes of pure “you” time, a calming blend of meditation, breathwork, and gentle yoga designed to ground, reset, and melt away the last of the outside world. No pressure, no rush-just space to reconnect, recharge, and feel completely present

Cotswold Wanders, Afternoon Tea and Christmas Creativity

After your slow and soulful morning, the afternoon is yours to soak up the charm of Painswick, a postcard-perfect Cotswold village known for its winding lanes, cosy cafés, charming pubs, and the iconic yew trees of St. Mary’s churchyard. Whether you’re window shopping, sipping something warm, or snapping photos of the fairytale streets, this is your time to wander and explore at your own pace.

We’ll then reconvene at the house for afternoon with sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and a warm cup of tea. It’s also time for our much-loved Christmas book swap, where you’ll exchange a book you’ve loved (or wrapped up something new) and leave with a surprise story to enjoy over the festive season.

As golden hour sets in, we’ll head to our expert-led wreath-making workshop. With a glass of prosecco in hand, you’ll get creative with beautiful seasonal foliage and festive touches to craft a magical wreath to take home with you.

Afterwards, we return to the house to relax, pamper, and get ready for tonight’s festivities. Whether you're putting on something sparkly or just taking your time to unwind, the evening vibes are all about feeling your best and embracing the festivities to come.

We Got You Boo Christmas Dinner Party

Easy Like a Sunday Morning

When you’re ready, join the girls for a relaxed Christmas movie session, all the festive feels, warm blankets, and good company to round off your perfect morning.

Countryside Strolls and Sunday Roast Goals

Lace up your boots, wrap up warm, and get ready to breathe in the fresh Cotswold air on a gorgeous countryside walk. Spend a couple of hours outdoors, feeling energized and soaking up quality time together as you explore rolling hills, and stunning views.

After working up an appetite, we will retreat to a cosy Cotswolds country pub where a hearty two-course Sunday roast complete with all the trimmings awaits. Think comfort food, good company, and the perfect way to warm up and unwind after a day in the great outdoors.

Reflect, Feast, and Play- The Perfect Festive Final

After a full afternoon of fresh air and adventure, return to the house and make the evening your own. Whether you want to relax with a book, pamper yourself, hang with the boos.

For anyone feeling inspired, we’ll also have a creative journaling and vision board corner set up- the perfect little space to dream, reflect, and get those festive intentions flowing.

As night falls, we’ll gather for our final dinner, the perfect setting to share stories, laughter, and memories made over the weekend.
