I had a thoroughly relaxing stay. A relaxed, but productive course with lots of tools to takeaway to try. Thank you to the staff and course facilitator. The Grange was in a central location, walking distance to the station, beach and village. Charming setting. Comfortable room and bed. I loved the breakfasts, especially the thick Greek yoghurt, porridge and berries/

I learnt some very valuable lessons for creative writing, I have no intention of doing stand up comedy but the exercises gave me ideas for generating material to put into my writing. Many thanks, Logan! [Comedy Writing Course with Logan Murray]

This was a very lovely weekend. Staff were so welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was clean and comfortable and well equipped. I had done Mindfulness with Michael Eales before but I got even more out of it this time, probably because my understanding deepened.

This has been a really wonderful experience. A quiet, peaceful setting and a chance to share and discuss ideas for writing with an experienced writer. (I feel inspired!) The Grange is a lovely hotel with welcoming staff and a relaxed atmosphere.

I wish everybody had a chance to do this course at a young age- what a great help it would be to people! The Grange, itself, has a peaceful atmosphere and the garden is just beautiful. The path down to the gate makes me want to explore and unleashes my inner child!
