Bucks County Reader's Retreat

Do you like to chat with others about books you've read? Do you want to get some recommendations for some really good books? Escape to beautiful New Hope, PA, for a cozy and engaging Reader’s Retreat at the Fox & Hound Inn Bed & Breakfast. This special getaway is designed for those who love emotionally engaging fiction, compelling characters, and stories centered around strong interpersonal relationships.

Your retreat book will be mailed to you before the event, giving you plenty of time to settle in, start reading, and arrive ready to share your thoughts and impressions with fellow book lovers. Throughout the retreat, enjoy lively conversations, thoughtful discussions, and plenty of opportunities to discover new perspectives on the stories and characters you’ve come to know.

Of course, a great book deserves a great setting! Between reading and discussion sessions, you’ll have time to relax in the cozy parlor, gather with your fellow readers, and explore charming New Hope and beautiful Bucks County. Visit quaint river towns, browse unique shops and galleries, enjoy gourmet dining, or take a group excursion to one of the area’s historic castles and cultural treasures.

Whether you’re an avid reader who always has a book in hand or simply looking for a wonderful excuse to slow down and get lost in a good story, this retreat offers the perfect blend of reading, conversation, laughter, exploration, and relaxation.

Come for the books. Stay for the stories, the friendships, and the unforgettable escape.
