Sunono Retreat sunono.scot
Writers' retreat · Scotland

Check in to your book. Check out with some stories.

At ease. Create with peace.

We are opening Sunono to a small circle of writers and poets: a quiet house in the Scottish countryside with corners made for sitting with your thoughts.

We are still shaping the dates. Leave your details and we will write to you first, gently, when they are ready.

There is no schedule to follow here.

Time moves at its own pace. Write when the words come, rest when they don't. We'll be around whenever you need us.

A typewriter with pages drifting from it and a cup of tea beside it

A corner by the window

Quiet rooms set aside for writers and poets. May thinking feel like a breeze.

An open notebook and a red pencil

Your first reader

Your local guide, your chef or your first reader. We can be any or all of these.

A brick fireplace with a fire lit and two candles on the mantel

The fire lit in the evening

Warm meals, a kettle that's always on, and room to share what you wrote, or simply to listen.

Our manifesto

No one remains a stranger,

to hand, face or tongue.
