Last year I blogged about vacationing in Scotland and running a bookstore for a week (http://schatjesshelves.blogspot.ca/2016/02/a-bookshop-holiday.html).
Here’s
another suggestion: staying in a library
in Wales. “Gladstone’s is the only
residential library in the United Kingdom, offering a selection of 26 boutique
bedrooms with en-suite facilities, as well as housing a unique collection of over 250,000 printed
items. Guests staying at the library have extended use of the reading rooms
from 9am to 10pm after doors close to the general public at 5pm, and library
books can be taken to bedrooms. Rooms have Wi-Fi access, tea and coffee making
facilities and radios. In order to preserve the ethos of study and reflection,
none of the bedrooms have TVs, although there is a dedicated television room on
the ground floor available for all guests to use” (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/news/2016/12/19/you-can-stay-beautiful-gladstones-library-wales/).
Check out
the Gladstone’s Library website at https://www.gladstoneslibrary.org/accommodation/sleeping-with-books.
Reviews by
people who have stayed there have certainly been positive: https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Hotel_Review-g804424-d1218514-Reviews-Gladstone_s_Library-Hawarden_Flintshire_North_Wales_Wales.html.
