Charlotte Church's Welsh wellness retreat, The Dreaming, is finally taking bookings for those who want to bath in a moon-shaped bath, unwind in a 'womb room' or simply relax and take in the natural surroundings of idyllic Rhydoldog House, the former home of designer Laura Ashley.
Charlotte, whose renovation of the house has been documented on Discovery+ channel's My Dream Build, has revealed that she became "obsessed" with the Elan Valley property, which she bought for £1.5 million and has now opened the doors for visitors to book in, with prices starting at £150 per night, for one person. As of the time of publishing the first weekday retreat available is in February 2023, with weekend retreats available. With inclusivity at its heart, The Dreaming also offers a pay-what-you-can scheme for potential visitors.
There's a choice of seven rooms, each with their own theme and luxurious decor. The Moon room, for two, is made using natural fabrics and an en-suite bathroom with a moon-shaped bath overlooking the Moon Garden. The Womb Room is a 'celebration of womanhood' with soft-flowing fabrics and a playful ensuite with a pink tadelakt (Moroccan plaster) shower. And the sophisticated Forest Spirits room tips the cap to Japanese culture and overlooks ancient woodland. Other rooms on offer include The Wanderer, the Mystic, The Dawn and The Mushroom.
