COVID-19: Please check here for the latest covid updates. We will keep you updated as developments continue, so please check back regularly and feel free to email us for the latest information about changes to the schedule.

Self-catering Holiday Let – See holiday let page here.

Every writer needs a space to be creative: an idyllic writing retreat, a cosy room, no interruptions and all meals, hot drinks and snacks provided. Like-minded company on most of our Monday-Friday year round writers’ retreats. No chores, no daily routine to distract you, and the luxury of feeling looked after from lunch on your day of arrival to lunch on departure day.

We also welcome you if you need some time out for any other reason – or just to relax and get a good night’s sleep. We’re offering complete respite from life’s distractions. A writers’ retreat, deep in the heart of the beautiful North Devon UK countryside, that space is waiting for you. This is your time. We guarantee it.

See event page for themed events with tutors. Please note, fewer dates currently available.

Our facilities

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 our resident labrador, Daisy 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.

Retreats For You
Local train station reopens! Journey to Retreats For You much easier from now on. Okehampton made the national news! Now you don’t have to go all the way to Exeter and get a taxi, you can get a taxi from Okehampton to us, which is only 17 minutes drive away :-). Very excited for the new season, even though most of the first half of the year is already booked up. We have spaces for retreats, learning how to write a novel, in May, June, and September 2022, but not many! Get in touch soon :-)Info @ retreatsforyou .co.uk ... See MoreSee Less
