We run full board, fully catered retreats for writers, roughly monthly, where you can tuck yourself away in your own cosy room and just write, and we look after you. Many dates below are workshops - with tutors - on different aspects of writing.
Also listed here are our untutored ‘Just Write’ weeks.
The length is mostly four nights, and usually from Monday to Friday or occasionally Tuesday to Sunday.
NB we are working around our holiday let calendar, therefore there are fewer dates than usual. This may revert to normal in the future but for now ALL of the upcoming availability to stay with us, is listed below.
Exception: Are you a group looking to book? Contact us in case we can create a date just for you - min 5 people.
Please peruse the detailed information under each event prior to contacting us as much of what you need will likely be found there. Consult the ‘Room Info’ page for details about rooms on offer, incl two ensuites (they usually go first).
We request a £125 deposit when you book your place, to secure it, with the balance due 6 to 8 weeks before the event. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, by emailing in the first instance. You can email us here: info @ retreatsforyou.co.uk.
Please feel free to sign up for our newsletter as that’s how our regulars are first given updates. Also do follow our social media @retreatsforyou.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
