Just imagine: a room of your own.  In an atmospheric, comfy stone cottage by an 18thC former watermill and stream in 20 acres of south Devon’s AONB.   Virtually untouched by the modern world, the coastal Gara Valley has a unique and inspirational literary history.  Far from the madding crowd you’ll be immersed in revitalising natural energy with time and space to absorb it.

All your meals & refreshments are included, freeing you to be creative.  Lunch & supper are home-cooked using locally grown organic standard ingredients. Breakfast is at your leisure in your cottage.  Three nights’ accommodation, facilitation, all food, refreshment, materials & log fires for £499, which includes an option to stay for the rest of the week to write and relax. 

There are just eight places.  To reserve your place, find out more, or simply to register your interest in workshops, please email Christine using the form below.

"I so look forward to another Writers At The Watermill Weekend in November 2018. When I decided to attend last year, I really had no true concept of the world I was about to enter: a world of which I now truly feel a part. I became so inspired by all I learnt that I hurried home to write the novel I structured some years previous. I have completed one third of the project and my enthusiasm not only endures, but gains new ground, on an almost daily basis. Writers At The Watermill I salute and most sincerely thank you for giving me the confidence to find my public voice. "  S. January 2018
