“About to do my fourth writing retreat at Le Verger and still impressed by the wide spectrum of talent; fantastic foods; service of the hosts, comfortable rooms; and beautiful countryside.”
— J.Cooper, Southend.
“Thank you for your kind hospitality, wonderful food and feedback on my writing! I achieved such a lot in these 5 days - the group feedback sessions gave me the courage to cut and delete those passages I’d had problems with - and I managed to finish my sixth Chapter!”
— Chris, King's Lynn.
