If you’re looking for a weekend filled with creativity, laughter and luxury, then this is the retreat for you. I can’t wait to share this magical experience with you.

Set amidst panoramic views of the Somerset countryside, my Country House Sewing Retreats offers an unforgettable experience of relaxation and creativity. Every corner of this stunning venue invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in a truly magical escape.

During the day, we’ll dive into our sewing projects in a bright, airy classroom. The room is flooded with natural light, providing the perfect atmosphere to bring your sewing projects to life. Plus, we have a dedicated cutting room to ensure your sewing experience is seamless and comfortable. In the evenings, we’ll unwind in the cosy Yellow Drawing Room or, if the weather is warm, step outside into the beautiful grounds.

Here, we’ll enjoy special slow stitching kits, a gift from me to you, to inspire your creativity as you relax. If the evening turns cooler, we’ll gather by the large open fire, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere perfect for stitching and conversation. To add to the experience, you’ll have coffee, tea and chocolates, making it the ideal end to a day filled with creativity and connection.

Whether you choose to relax inside by the fire or bask in the tranquillity of the outdoors, Hurds Hill’s peaceful surroundings will ensure every moment feels like a truly special retreat. Let’s make memories, sew beautiful projects and escape the everyday together!

Step into a space designed for both comfort and creativity. Our light, airy classroom provides the perfect environment to immerse yourself in your sewing projects while connecting with fellow makers.

The dedicated cutting area is thoughtfully equipped for precision and ease, featuring spacious cutting tables, a pressing area, and comfortable sofa seating—offering a welcoming space to work, chat, and share inspiration as you bring your projects to life.

More than just a sewing retreat, this is a chance to connect, create, and unwind in a warm, inviting atmosphere where friendships flourish as beautifully as the projects we stitch.

Each room at Hurds Hill is far more than just a place to rest—it is a carefully curated experience, designed to immerse guests in beauty, comfort, and history.

Lovingly designed by the owner, every space reflects a passion for vintage treasures, global adventures, and a lifetime of cherished memories. From hand-selected antiques to exquisite fabrics and furnishings, every detail tells a story, offering guests a stay that feels both luxurious and deeply personal.

🌍 Inspired by a Life Well-Traveled
The rooms at Hurds Hill each carry a unique theme, inspired by the owner’s far-reaching travels and love of history. Rich textiles from distant markets, carefully restored period pieces, and artwork collected from around the world create an atmosphere that is both stylish and soulful.

🛏️ Elegance & Comfort Combined
Whether sinking into an inviting four-poster bed, unwinding in a cosy reading nook, or admiring the thoughtfully chosen décor, guests will find themselves surrounded by touches of old-world charm and modern luxury. The blend of warm, welcoming tones, plush linens, and classic furnishings ensures a restful escape, where comfort is just as important as aesthetics.

✨ A Home Away From Home
The heart of Hurds Hill lies in its ability to make guests feel truly at home—but with a touch of indulgence. Every corner holds a story, every room a personality of its own, creating an intimate and memorable stay.

At Hurds Hill, the experience extends far beyond the sewing retreat—it’s about stepping into a space that feels special, timeless, and deeply welcoming. 🌿💛

A Moment of Stillness – The Beauty of Hurds Hill

One of the most special parts of the weekend sewing retreats is the opportunity to pause, step outside, and immerse in the peaceful beauty of Hurds Hill.

After a morning of creativity and a delicious lunch in the Grand Dining Room, the afternoon offers a perfect chance to take a gentle walk through the stunning grounds.

🌿 Breathe in the fresh air as you stroll through the gardens, surrounded by towering trees and flourishing flowers.
🦌 Listen to the calming sounds of birdsong and, if lucky, catch a glimpse of the graceful family of deer that roam freely.
🌳 Reconnect with nature in a space designed for quiet reflection, where time slows down, and the mind can truly unwind.

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, these moments of stillness and serenity are rare. That’s why taking time for a peaceful walk during the retreat is more than just a break—it’s an opportunity to reset, breathe deeply, and feel truly present.

Creativity flows best when the mind is at ease, and here, surrounded by nature, there is space to simply be.

✨ A sewing retreat is not just about making—it’s about restoring, refreshing, and embracing the joy of slowing down.

As a heartfelt thank you, every guest is invited to enjoy a beautifully curated slow stitching session in the Yellow Drawing Room—a space filled with warmth, history, and creativity.

🧵 A Gift from the Heart
Understanding how precious time for creativity is, each guest receives a bespoke slow stitching kit, carefully designed to offer a moment of peace and mindfulness. These kits change with every retreat, reflecting the seasons or a special theme, making each experience unique.

🌿 A Moment to Pause
This is more than just stitching—it’s a chance to slow down, to stitch with intention, and to truly savor the moment. The Yellow Drawing Room, with its elegant charm, offers the perfect setting to relax, sip a cup of tea, and enjoy the soothing rhythm of hand stitching.

💛 Why This Matters
For those who spend their days rushing, juggling responsibilities, and rarely taking a moment for themselves, this small yet meaningful gift is a reminder: creativity is self-care. It’s a chance to be present, to create without pressure, and to experience the quiet joy that comes from working with your hands.

This session is my way of sharing something truly special—a moment of stillness, creativity, and connection. No rush, no expectations—just the pure joy of stitching in a space designed for relaxation.

✨ Because at its heart, a sewing retreat isn’t just about making—it’s about slowing down, unwinding, and embracing the beauty of every stitch.
