The Practitioner Doctorate in Sustainability department, from the University of Surrey, recently held a Writing Retreat at Audley End, Saffron Walden. This large country residence was perfect for this. It is quiet, situated within a large garden with a lovely heated swimming pool at the top of the property. Bedrooms are large and airy, so there is space for sharing. With 4 to 5 reception rooms, there is lots of space to spread out. The formal dining room is a stunning setting for a celebration. Online food delivery went smoothly - Waitrose, Tesco's and an Aldi's in the area. Would happily return.
