Hidcote Reading Retreat
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
QELNAVOR Retreats — a room at the end of the path
The Hidcote holds a chair, a wall of shelves and a window with weather in it — insulated to novel-length sessions in January, with the task light and socket exactly where the armrest ends.
Retreats are small buildings with large jobs: insulated floors, walls and roofs for four-season sitting, interiors lined in pale timber that holds the light, and glazing placed for a view rather than a spec sheet. Heating, power and quiet come pre-wired; the silence is the fit-out.

Questions, Answered
What maintenance does the interior need?
Pale timber interiors want dusting and an occasional oil; floors are finished for shoes-off living. The building's care card fits on one page.
Can it be a home office?
That is half our orders: quiet, insulated, wired for data, with light placed for screens. The commute is twelve metres of lawn.
The QELNAVOR Promise
The statutory 24-month warranty under Czech law applies, together with any manufacturer's warranty — glass units, hardware, louvres, shingles and finials are available as spare parts.
