He will be tutoring and talking about creative writing skills based on his experience as a journalist, newspaper editor and author.

As part of your stay there will also be a chance to visit some of the beautiful scenery featured in To Snare a Spy, which is set at The Nare and on the Roseland - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is an ideal break for anyone who wants to write their own novel or who just wants a behind-the-scenes insight into the world of books and being an author.

The four day Creative Writing breaks start from £309.00 per room per night, staying in a Country View room, inclusive of dinner, full English breakfast and afternoon Cornish cream tea, based on a couple sharing.
