The Burn : Insider Spotlight

The Burn Sister to The Goodenough: Retreats for Academic Souls

Hello lovely insiders! We’ve got a little gem to share with you this week…

If you haven’t yet discovered The Burn (our beautiful sister property tucked away in the Scottish countryside) consider this your official invitation to fall in love.

The Burn’s Mansion House is something of a legend in academic circles. Well-known and well-loved as a home for academic retreats and reading parties, it regularly welcomes groups from across Scotland, the wider UK, and all over the world. Many of them come back again and again, and once you’ve been, you’ll understand why.

Guests tell us that time at The Burn brings students and academic staff closer together, building trust, strengthening working relationships, and sparking fresh perspectives. It’s the kind of place that gently restores body, mind and soul: the magic combination every retreat hopes for.

Thinking about running a retreat of your own?

You’ll have:

  • a fabulous setting (think sweeping lawns, cosy corners, and proper Scottish character)
  • excellent facilities
  • comfortable rooms
  • good, hearty food
  • and a whole mix of activities, both on-site and further afield

And because every retreat is different, the team at The Burn love nothing more than crafting a custom-made package built around your goals, so you get an experience that’s engaging, productive and genuinely memorable.

Oh, and before you go… a little birdy did tell us they’re running a flash sale right now.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to book, this might just be it.

More insider updates coming soon… until then, happy planning!
