It is a long-standing Guild tradition that members should extend hospitality – in the form of a spare room or a discount on normal pricing – to fellow Guild members.

 

We are always looking to extend our list, so if you do B&B, or have a spare room you can offer to a fellow foodie occasionally, please Joy Skipper know and we will add you to this list.

East Sussex

Writer with Rooms

Laughton, East Sussex

As well as regular food writing retreats, I also host writers in our upcycled cow shed! These days, it’s an underfloor heated yoga studio/writing study with two ensuite bedrooms and a lovely little birds nest bed. A kettle and an air fryer mean you can be self contained, but you can also eat with us in the main house on request.

 

15 minutes from Lewes and half an hour from Brighton, it’s a little piece of paradise in the middle of the East Sussex  countryside. Glyndebourne is 5 minutes away, Firle and Charleston 10 mins.
