Every writer needs space. A place away from work, chores, family and other distractions. Deep in the heart of the beautiful North Devon countryside, that space is waiting for you.
We welcome anyone who needs some time out to write, paint, read, walk, think, meditate — or just sleep. We’re offering complete respite from life’s distractions. This is your time. We guarantee it.

We offer quiet, comfortable rooms in a large, traditional 1600s thatched house, with a roaring woodburner and a beautiful courtyard and walled garden. You can be as solitary or as sociable as you choose. And as a working writer, I am happy to offer constructive criticism on your work. The village pub is just 50 yards from the front door and there are many delightful walks all around. You can take one or two of the resident labradors out too.
But not everyone who visits Retreats for You is here to write. Some paint, read, tackle a work project, or simply relax and recuperate.
We hold regular events including themed writing, yoga and photography to name a few, plus we also have regular non-writers weeks all throughout the year. Click on an event to view more information and place a booking.
