United Kingdom

Eats

Dining dates should be scheduled for a minimum of 6 hours to allow time for intimacy and connection beyond the dinner table. These are about more than just food — they’re about lingering conversation, meaningful moments, and unhurried pleasure.

Please note: The fee listed applies exclusively to my time. The cost of the meal, drinks, and any reservations are not included and must be covered separately.

Stays

All stays incur a minimum fee of 16 hours, regardless of check-in/check-out flexibility. This ensures we have the time to unwind fully, enjoy the setting, and make the most of every moment. Dinner and breakfast at the hotel’s signature restaurant should be reserved in advance for a complete shared experience.

Important: My time is booked and charged independently. Accommodation, food, travel, and extras are to be arranged and paid for separately.

Activities

Activities are designed to elevate our time together, whether it’s a cultural outing, spa day, or an exclusive tour. Timing and availability may vary, so a little flexibility is always appreciated. These are best paired with a meal or stay for a well-rounded experience.

Note: All activity bookings and associated costs are separate and not included in my fee. My 20% discount applies only to my time.

Curated escapes, ready to enjoy.

Sometimes, all you want is for everything to be beautifully taken care of — no decisions, no planning, just pure pleasure from start to finish. That’s where my bespoke itineraries come in.

Each experience has been carefully crafted around 48 hours of shared indulgence — a balance of exquisite dining, playful adventure, and quiet moments for just the two of us. Whether you're craving countryside calm, vibrant city energy, or something entirely out of the ordinary, I’ve curated every detail to feel effortless and unforgettable.

Prefer a shorter escape? These itineraries are flexible. You’re welcome to mix and match elements from each day to create a dreamy 24-hour version that suits your schedule.

All that’s left is to choose the one that calls to you — and I’ll take care of the rest.
