OUR Philosophy

A retreat destination rooted in place, people, and possibility.

RoR Escapes is a small collection of properties in Ruthin, North Wales — designed for groups who want more than just somewhere to stay. Whether you're planning a retreat, bringing people together, or simply stepping away for a few days, the spaces are set up to support it — and Clare is there to help if you need her.

The properties

Three distinct spaces

Each with its own character — used alone or together depending on your group and what you're planning.

Why ror esacpes

More than just a place to stay

RoR Escapes isn't a standard booking. Clare is involved from the start — and the spaces are set up to support more than just a night away.

01
The whole property is yours
No other guests. No shared spaces with strangers. When you book, you get the full run of the place — which makes a real difference when you're there with a group.
02
Personal facilitation and support
Clare and her team are present, attentive, and invested in every group's experience — from the initial conversation through to your departure.
03
Catering, practitioners, and local experiences
From catering and wellness practitioners to guided walks and creative workshops — Clare can help shape a fully considered experience around your stay.
04
Designed for retreats, gatherings, and shared time
Not just accommodation. Every stay is shaped around the people within it — with space to think, connect, and create.
05
Ruthin is made to be found
A quiet market town in the Vale of Clwyd with good walking, local history, and not much to distract you from the reason you came. That tends to suit groups quite well.
Retreats & events

Retreats & Gatherings
