wild words

forget everything you think poetry needs to be

what is wild words?

Wild Words is where you come to listen to the heartbeat of the writer in you. In stunning surroundings of lush nature, and rustic yet luxurious warmth of a carefully selected property, you’ll have trouble pulling your pen off the page as you’ll feel so connected to your artistry.

You’ll use this time to get honest with your writing - raw, resonant, real. The poetry that stays with us is always written by someone brave enough to tell the truth.

Our venue has many private & comfortable writing nooks, both indoors and out. You’ll need not search for beauty for inspiration, as it will be wherever your eyes fall.

who is it for?

Anyone with the desire to write! If you never have, or dabble, or write a lot but want to lean into a new approach / a fresh creative process in a dedicated & uninterrupted retreat experience. Any and all are welcome.

For those who wish to linger in the luxury, and keep the pause on to-do lists a while longer, there are two private rooms available for overnight stay at this stunning country retreat.

Enjoy your own private sauna, soak in the deep clawfoot bath, wander the peaceful grounds, or settle by the fire with a glass of wine and easy conversation. If solitude calls, retreat to your room to continue your wild writing.

Your stay includes a delicious homemade dinner (dietary requirements happily catered for), followed by breakfast in the morning. Take a stroll along the walking trail before heading home, carrying with you a deeper appreciation for the wilderness in you.
