Mother & Daughter Retreat

This Mother’s Day, share a transformative experience at The Dreaming’s Mother & Daughter Retreat. Nestled in nature's quiet embrace in our luxurious home, this retreat offers a sacred space to deepen your bond, and celebrate the timeless journey you share.

Overview

This Mother’s Day, create lasting, magical memories together at The Dreaming. Our Mother & Daughter Retreat is curated to offer a sacred space for mothers and daughters to reconnect, relax, and celebrate their unique bond amidst nature’s healing embrace.

It is time to simply be together — exploring ancient forests and waterfalls, gathering around cozy fires, and sharing magical moments beneath star-filled skies.

Our invitation is to slow down, to feel the healing energy of these mystical lands, and enjoy soul-nourishing activities that will remind you of the simple joy of being together.

With a carefully curated balance of activities and time for relaxation, you’ll have the freedom to bond in your own time, exploring the lands, or simply lounging on your day beds and spending time together.

This retreat offers a rare opportunity to pause, to heal, to celebrate your bond in an unforgettable way. Whether you're seeking to reconnect, create new memories, or simply enjoy some peaceful time together, this Mother’s Day retreat will leave you both feeling rejuvenated, closer, and more connected than ever before.

Our Mother and Daughter retreat is for women of all ages, and if your daughter is still a little lady, it is appropriate for daughters aged 12 upwards.

What’s Included

  • Luxurious Shared Accommodation: Stay in comfortable, cozy spaces where you can unwind together, sharing quiet moments and meaningful conversations.

“Words can’t describe the energy that this place holds, from the minute you arrive you can feel the magic. We had the most beautiful weekend with the most amazing people, I will cherish the memories for a lifetime.”

- Claire Wright

The Nurturer Guest, 2024

“I knew my time at The Dreaming would be a wonderful break in stunning surroundings but I was not prepared for it to be life changing. You leave The Dreaming wondering, "Was I dreaming?" but thankfully, it's all real.”

- Kiri Pritchard McLean

The Location

Nestled in the heart of the Elan Valley, Wales. Our retreat offers a serene and rejuvenating environment, away from busy work life, whatever the weather.

Set within forty seven glorious acres of ancient land, The Dreaming is a rural wonder which offers true serenity and blissful tranquility. Once a 15th century Cistercian monastery, this fabulous property passed through Georgian and Victorian aristrocratic families to the designer Laura Ashley and her family in the 20th century.

Laura Ashley directed her multinational interior design company from Rhydoldog House and then, in 2020, our founder Charlotte Church, with the help of talented collaborators, reimagined, refurbished and reconfigured it.

Accommodation

Luxurious rooms with modern amenities awaits you, each designed by award winning designers to provide comfort and tranquility.

Each rooms interior reflect our passion for other cultures. Natural materials and tactile draping create den-like spaces, whilst original floorboards and textured walls give coherence and a cosseting feel to the seven rooms, each with its own distinct name and character.

The essence of connection thrives through our shared rooms. Our distinctive approach assigns beds individually rather than by room, encouraging meaningful interactions with fellow guests.

Embracing shared living is ingrained in The Dreaming’s values, creating an environment where bonds flourish.
