The Retreat

The Cambridge Writing Retreat is set in three acres of mature and beautiful gardens. The picturesque village of Elsworth - mentioned in the Domesday Book - is in a Conservation Area. Although only ten miles from the unique city of Cambridge it is just over an hour from London, making it very convenient and accessible, yet with an idyllic feel of somewhere more remote.

The farmhouse is surrounded by fields and beautiful gardens, including a winter garden and kitchen garden (from where your lunch will come on days when we are running courses - season permitting).  You will also share the space with our chickens, abundant birdlife including our swifts, woodpeckers, Barn, Tawny and Little owls.
