Product description
A thoughtful guide to a new kind of travel, Slow Escapes explores hotels, guesthouses, and hospitality venues that are reinvigorating rural areas by fostering meaningful connections between people and place. Drawing upon principles of the slow movement, these places embrace ideas of community, sustainability, and seasonality, and are involved in the preservation of heritage, culture, and tradition.
From an 18th-century sheep farm reimagined as a guest house in the far north of Iceland to a new-age finca in the heart of Andalusia; from a homestead-turned-farm-and-fermentory in the Catskills to the Fogo Island Inn, a social enterprise and hotel set on an island off an island in the North Atlantic; read the stories behind the places that are changing the way we vacation—for the better.

Let customers speak for us
A beautiful, thick paper notebook. Lovely to write in.
Gave this to my note writing husband....loved it. Excellent service and quality.
Excuse the pun, it was a present and well received by the recipient. Caran D’ache pens are lovely to use and this one was admired by the recipient on a visit to the Brighton store. Excellent service.
Papersmiths is a gem- beautiful pens, gorgeous packaging and the sweetest personal touches. They even included a handwritten thank you card with our order. I also needed to cancel something i bought by mistake and they sorted it immediately - super attentive, quick and on it! Such a lovely experience from start to finish!
Nice flowing fineline pens, good colour.
I bought the notebooks as gifts so didn’t want to disturb the nice wrapping to look at them properly but I wanted to write a review as a compliment to the excellent service that I received. Thank you.
Literally the best notebooks in the world… getting really difficult to find stock in the UK of the ruled. Fabulous thick paper, durable covers. Ringbinding means you can flip and use both sides of paper.
I love its whimsy
New stationery is a thing of joy and the lovely packaging and note took it up a level. I bought the wrong size notebook band as I was so taken by the colour that I did not read the sizing properly. I asked if I could return it and it was all dealt with so efficiently and politely. All round happy and itching to buy more.
lovely presentation, easy to understand and get into and a brilliant exercise to make everyday a bit brighter!
I've been using The Completist planners for years. I love how flexible they are with their binding. The paper quality is top. They use G F Smith paper which is my favourite. Usually i get the undated versions from them but i loved this colour and couldn't help myself! Love it.
Just received this diary. It’s an instant hit. So chic and such a great layout. It’s now part of my evening routine taking time to reflect on the day. Love!
Absolutely love these pens. Feel lovely to hold and write beautifully. Great selection of colours.
Great quality paper, gorgeous shade of orchid pink and no plastic delivery. Very happy. Thank you
Quality to do list notebook, with lovely thick paper. Papersmiths always package it up so nicely as well. Even a small notebook purchase feels like high end luxury.
