2026 Retreats

Hidden behind an unassuming entrance within Conwy’s medieval walls, The Writer’s Keep is a historic former stable transformed into a place to read, write and think.

Double and single rooms with reading material, writing desks and magnificent historical views...

"Writers can gather around towering 3.5-metre stone fireplaces, find quiet corners next to roaring log burners"

"My thanks to Emily for making my dream a reality, in seeing me through the publishing process— she is patient and wise"

E. Stanford, Author

Rooms

Step away from everyday distractions and into a place created for writing: atmospheric rooms, dedicated writing spaces, small-group retreats and one-to-one guidance, surrounded by castle walls, mountains and sea.

EXPLORE RETREATS

Write beside a log fire, settle into a window seat with a book, or work from your own desk overlooking the castle town and surrounding hills.
