This was my second writing retreat at Bron Y Graig. I came last year and enjoyed it so much - the workshops, the free writing/exploring time, the incredible food and hospitality, and the wonderful group of people chance threw my way. Five of the eight of us booked as a group again (the others were far away in the Galapagos and elsewhere, but otherwise would have joined again).
Nic and Wendy have created the perfect combination of structure/input and flexibility, so you can really make this retreat your own. The local area is beautiful with plenty of opportunities for sightseeing (Ruthin and Llangollen were highlights for us) and walking. The house itself is delightful - me and a friend I met last year enjoyed sitting in the lounge chatting and looking through the books and games in the library.
We are already planning our 2027 trip (with friends made in both previous retreats). I now see this as an annual creative and wellbeing escape that's a staple in my diary.
