Write South West Scotland

Our flexible retreat accommodation in the heart of beautiful Dumfries and Galloway is suitable for groups of up to eleven people. We run catered self-guided retreats, taught retreats, and weekend book bootcamps: see the ‘our courses’ list to find out what’s coming up.

Upcoming Course

(one supplement place remaining, otherwise sold out)

unknown feels: A queer writing retreat

£795 - September 8th-13th

This course is almost sold out for standard places - there is still one place available at a supplement of £250: these are en-suite rooms in a B&B 100 metres away but everything else - teaching, meals, writing space - remains the same

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.
