Image Scotts of Thrapston The Reading Room
The refurbished tool shed at the bottom of Virginia Woolf's garden forms the inspiration for the Reading Room. Despite living in privileged surroundings it was this distinctive outbuilding that was to provide her with the ideal place in which to write, think and relax.

The Writer's Retreat
This wonderful garden retreat draws inspiration from the modest summerhouse in George Bernard Shaw's garden. This tiny, converted shed was where he created many of his masterpieces, including the Oscar winning screenplay for "Pygmalion" and the play "St Joan", for which he was to win the Nobel Prize for literature.

Image Scotts of ThrapstonThe U.K. National Trust have joined with Scotts of Thrapston to produce these 2 gorgeous Summer Garden Retreats. Adhering to the adage 'less is more', these unassuming and humble buildings may be small and plain but their true beauty lies in the opportunity they offer to be at peace in the garden and enjoy a few moments of quiet relaxation.
How I would love to wander through our garden with a book and a glass of wine to find one of these little gems waiting just for me!
