art holidays     short art courses     holiday homes      studio hire 

At the Creative Retreat we provide everything you need for an unforgettable holiday or inspiring work space, in a unique coastal hideaway on the Scottish coast.

Our art holiday programme runs from April to October and offers a range of creative courses from beginners to the more experienced, teaching visual art skills and exploring your identity as an artist. Studio hire is flexible throughout the year.

Our two self catering holiday homes are available all year and sleep up to 6 and 9. They can be hired together for larger groups and both have private studios.

We believe everyone deserves a space in which to invent, create, devise and think, or simply have a holiday. Experience wild seas, wonderful sunsets and cliff-top walks, then come inside to wood burning stoves, cosy sofas and just relax.
