Lendrick Lodge is a holistic retreat centre in the Trossachs (central Scotland).
The writing weekends are based in the purpose built River Retreat – a lovely bright, open room close to the woods and, yes, overlooking the river 
Accommodation is either in the River Retreat or the main lodge. Meals are served in the lodge: breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided and included in the price of the writing weekend. (Vegetarian meals: special diets catered for on request).
The lodge is set in lovely, peaceful gardens including woodland and a tumbling burn. The site is adjacent to Woodland Trust land where you can wander up into the hills or down to the loch in peace.
