"My visit to Cotswold Mill was a very special time. It brought together an eclectic group of writers working on very different projects in a beautiful environment. The house offered individuals space to work privately, but also to discuss with others - in the organised sessions in the evening, over tea in the kitchen, and on walks in the magnificent surrounding countryside. Friendships were made, previously unexpected professional directions embarked upon. I sincerely hope that the residency becomes an enduring institution." - Simon
“The Cotswold Mill retreat was one of the highlights of my year. The location was beautiful—perfect for creativity, productivity, or just having the space to think. I met wonderful people whose inspiration, advice, and encouragement spurred me on to pursue new projects and ideas. I can’t wait to go back.” - Peter
"The Cotswold Mill retreat was a rare and wonderful chance to focus and feed off the creative energy of other exciting writers. The setting and mill itself are a perfect foil for days of discussion, debate and quiet reflection. It was a week I’ll remember for a long time, and the advice and friendships I made have energised me for a number of projects since. If you get the chance to come to Cotswolds Mill, jump at it." - Sean
"My week at the Cotswold Mill was among the most memorable and special of 2021. It was a rare opportunity to escape from the world and focus on writing, to share ideas and learn from inspirational people, and to think and wander in beautiful surroundings. Everything we needed was taken care of, and the balance between group discussions and free time enabled me to make progress with the project I was working on, while also benefitting hugely from the group’s collective wisdom, and forming lasting friendships. I left feeling motivated and ready to take on new challenges, and would definitely go back!" - Clare
