Write at the rook retreat
From Alice Meynell and John Galsworthy to D H Lawrence and David Sedaris, many celebrated authors have been inspired to live and write around Amberley Wildbrooks.
At The Rook Retreat we offer regular residential Writer’s Retreats for both established authors and aspiring wordsmiths alike, where you’ll get the opportunity to stay within our tranquil surroundings and hone your craft.
Though each writer’s retreat will have a different focus, you can usually expect a 2 day retreat (1 night stay), small groups of 6 to 8 people, high profile guest speakers and tutors, fantastic food cooked by our in-house chefs, plenty of time to work on your own writing, and an experience guaranteed to inspire.
To find out more, click on each Writer Retreat below for full details.

The Hide
We’ve created the perfect spots around our small woodland to fully immerse you in nature as you think or write, without the distractions of everyday life.
The Hide is The Rook’s woodland writing studio, built from fully recycled materials and designed to provide a cosy, atmospheric space to inspire your creativity. Use of the space is incorporated into all our writing retreats, but also available for use standalone or as part of a solo retreat package. Get in touch for rates and availability.
