Writing into the Dark
£825 - October 20-25th
For the third time, Megan is teaching a week of Gothic horror accompanied – as ever – by Jill the haunted Barbie. There will be a series of playful and practical writing workshops exploring setting, character, and the uncanny.
The Retreat
The retreat is easily accessed by driving or by public transport.
Writers can book alone or with friends, self-catering or catered.
Our writers’ rate for the cottage is £850 a week (the price is for the whole cottage - three bedrooms, two sitting rooms, two bathrooms - not per person).


By opening a connecting room between the house and the cottage, we can facilitate groups of up to seven people in single-occupancy rooms (eight if two people share a twin room).
For larger groups we partner with two local B&Bs.
We can also quote a price for bespoke retreats: perhaps you are a group who would like to come away together & have a part-catered, part-self-catering stay. Drop us a line with any questions.
