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.

Have used these diaries for several years and love them. Prompt delivery and packaged nicely.
Unique products and amazing online service!
Honestly I have been looking for a hardbound fabric notebook that is lined with 6mm ruling for a long time so I was ecstatic when I found this. The pages lay flat and the notebook is really durable and a pleasure to use.
There is slight bleed through when using larger nib size fountain pens but using a fine nib there is no problem. I only wished the paper was like an off white/cream colour rather than the bright white paper colour but that's just my preference.
Cartridges for my much-loved Kaweco Sport fountain pen in black and orange (my favourite of the Kaweco ink colours) arrived very quickly, as always, thank you!
After a birthday trip to Brighton my wife and I stumbled upon paoersmiths. They are and continue to be her preferred stationery of choice. Great colours, finishes and writes. Whenever she starts a new project it'll be a new book and a new pen. Anything that pleases my wife this much deserves a review.
My notebook arrived in perfect condition, wrapped in tissue paper, a papersmiths sticker and a lovely personalised note. My first notebook from Papersmiths was given to me as a gift and I've been trying to find another comparable notebook ever since, but you cannot beat the quality 100gsm paper, textured cover (love the forest green I went for this time) and personalisation you receive when you get your order. The cost may seem on the slightly pricier side but as a long time notebook lover, the paper quality in Papersmiths notebooks just feel so premium and is comparable to other notebooks on the market at this price, but more premium in every way. I've found that I get no ink bleed through and it lays pretty flat when you relax the spine. The shipping only took two days and I love to support a sustainable, ethical business. Thank you Papersmiths!
This is definietely going to replace my usual Rotring Isographs, looking forward to trying out the colours next.
I love this pen, I can't stop writing, it's improved my handwriting style too! It's fine and smooth and glides so nicely.
I have bought these purses as a present.A very useful and attractive gift.
I’ve been searching for a diary which is a week to view, in columns!
Space for notes & planning too. It will be my go-to diary every year! Love it!
Love my new diary and it came so beautifully rapped I feel like I want to receive it all over again!
Such a lovely diary - light enough to keep in your bag, really smooth paper., works well with a fountain pen. Makes me want to book appointments just so that I have more to write in it. Arrived very quickly.
Great product, so fantastic and flexible. Worth noting, you can only reuse the backside of the notes which are white. The coloured side is not reusable. Still handy though!
I bought one of these for my partner last year and I was so jealous of how aesthetic and beautiful his was that I got mine for this year! I love the right-hand page with lots of spaces for to-dos and notes as this is often what I’m riffling through post-its and notebooks for.
