Everything about this retreat was perfect - support with my writing, beautiful places to write, fantastic food, a great group of people - everything exceeded my expectations. Can’t recommend this retreat highly enough!
Amy, February 2025
A very special experience. We felt looked after AND inspired. My sister and I booked this retreat to get some serious writing done and we were SO productive, whilst also having a lovely time with the other guests and Nic. The food was delicious and the conversation at every meal was lovely. These are hosts who REALLY care and I would recommend the experience to anyone and everyone. I hope to return!

I came thinking I was going to write poetry but realised I just needed a break! That said, I did write some poetry and feel inspired to continue. Thank you. It was a brilliant, stimulating holiday and I will definitely return.

With its lovely, quiet writing spaces and access to miles of beautiful countryside, Bron Y Graig provided the rarest of writerly luxuries: the physical and emotional space to fall back in love with your stories and ideas. I left feeling more inspired about my writing than I have in months.
