WRITING LIFE
Writer’s retreat
Want a change of scenery? Dream of running away to these spectacular literary-themed AirBnbs, suggests, Rosalind Moody
W ant to just hide from the real world and write? Us too.
We may be legally restricted from adventuring far afield at the moment, but that doesn’t stop us writers dreaming of the day when we can. With closed international borders and strict lockdown orders, we’d need to master Harry Potter’s art of apparating to even pop to the next county. And with the government’s prediction that we’ll be through the worst by spring (I’m optimistically hoping for World Book Day on 4 March), let’s celebrate by booking one of these sweet rental digs, inspiring for any literary lover. Though sitting down to write at any of these charming rustic desks feels a long way off, it does give us a grace period to gather our ideas for that novel we’ve always wanted to write... and nothing, not even a global pandemic, can take that away from us.
