Writing Retreats
Dating from 1740, Galloway House Estate comprises 600 acres of fields, seashore and woodland. Our writing retreats are suitable for all experience levels and are designed to balance time for individual writing and reflection with tailored writing advice from our renowned tutors and the creation of new work and craft development in group workshops. The writing retreats also include a number of optional extras: yoga, art, literary readings, an evening concert, and a whole host of outdoor options.

Creative Residencies
At Galloway House Estate, we are dedicated to supporting creative residencies for writers and artists. Our peaceful setting offers the perfect environment to focus and create. We provide a dedicated artists’ studio in the Stables courtyard, available to reserve alongside one of our lodges or apartments. The studio offers freedom to create without the need to worry about keeping things tidy. Ideal for painting, writing, or any artistic pursuit.
Many artists have found inspiration in the natural beauty of the estate, with its tranquil surroundings and magical colours. To support your stay, we offer special accommodation rates and longer stays, particularly during our quieter seasons outside of summer.
If you're interested in a creative residency, please get in touch to explore the options available.
